The members of the Women's National Team all play for club teams in the National Women's Soccer League. It's the middle of the season for the NWSL right now, so here …

Red Sox: Nunez Designated, But Not Forgotten

Eduardo Nunez's career with the Boston Red Sox has been a bit of a rollercoaster. It began on July 26, 2017, when the San Francisco Giants traded him to Boston, and it ended today, with Nunez being designated for assignment. 2019 has been incredibly disappointing for Nunez. He has only played sixty games and hit …

Boston Red Sox Players of the Week: April 1-April 7

Once again, the Boston Red Sox struggled their way through a week of baseball. Their record on the season is now 3-8 after winning only one of four games against the Oakland A's and one of three against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The hitting is almost as slow as the pitching at this point. Its understandable …

Boston Red Sox Players of the Week: March 28-March 31

The Boston Red Sox got out to a rough start in their first series of the 2019 season. The Seattle Mariners took three games out of the four, by scores of 12-4, 6-5, and 10-8 (the Red Sox won their only game by a score of 7-6). The Mariners hit eleven home runs and no …

Red Sox Position Previews: Outfield (Part 2)

If you thought the Red Sox were in good shape with Andrew Benintendi and Jackie Bradley, Jr. taking up half of the outfield, just remember who makes up the other half. Mookie Betts, who won the American League Most Valuable Player award in 2018, will hold down right field, while J.D. Martinez, who finished fourth …

Red Sox Position Previews: Outfield (Part 1)

The Red Sox enter 2019 with perhaps the best outfield in baseball. An MVP winner, a perennial MVP candidate, the best defensive outfielder in the league, and a young kid who has not even reached his potential lead the way for the defending World Series champions. Andrew Benintendi has his best season yet in 2018 …

Red Sox Position Previews: Catcher

If there is any one position up for grabs in Boston, it is undoubtedly catcher. The Red Sox spent most of 2018 with three catchers on the roster, though one of them missed significant time with an injury and another auditioned at several other positions. It would be a little surprising if the team carried …

Red Sox Position Previews: Third Base

The future is now at third base for the Red Sox. Rafael Devers is prepped for his second full season in the big leagues and is looking for his big breakout year. Devers will be backed up primarily by Eduardo Nunez, with Brock Holt and Tzu-Wei Lin seeing some starts as the infield rotation shifts …

Celtics: Marcus Morris is Right. And Nobody Wants to Believe It.

After the Boston Celtics blew their second straight 20-point lead to a Los Angeles team, Marcus Morris spoke to the media and gave a pretty scathing assessment of what is happening in the team's locker room. https://twitter.com/NBCSCeltics/status/1094456023882977280 The telling quote here is this: It's not fun. We're not competing at a high level, even though …

Red Sox Position Previews: Shortstop

Shortstop is the only position that is completely locked down in Boston for 2019. Xander Bogaerts is entering the final year of his contract with the Red Sox looking to improve on his best season so far. In 136 games in 2018, Bogaerts hit .288 with a career high (by far) .883 OPS. Bogey hit …
