David Ortiz says he's not worried about his future. He shouldn't be. He's rejuvenated his career as a DH and is discussing playing at least two more years. "I have more in the tank," Papi said. Not necessarily in Boston, apparently. Note to Theo: Dude still has it. Pay him!" Papi can have a fallback career as a home run derby captain after how the American League team, selected by Ortiz, shelled the National League. Ortiz, Adrian Gonzalez, Robinson Cano and Jose Bautista totally overpowered the Prince Fielder NL crew. It was 76-19 AL over NL. Cano beat Gonzalez, 12-11, in the Yankees-Red Sox finale to win the Derby.

The last time we saw the Patriots, Baltimore beat them so badly, we didn't recognize them. The Herald seems to like the idea of, as the saying goes, putting the band back together so we can see them play like they used to back in 2007, or earlier. David Patten is back in the fold after a year off, and free agent Mike Vrabel wants back in.
When the new Celtic stepped onto the parquet at the TD Banknorth Garden on Friday night, the response from the Boston crowd was clear. Welcome to Boston, Mr. Marbury. Let's get to winning another title.

8:00 PM - We're coming to you live! Not from Bostonist HQ, which is in the danger zone of potential postgame revelry, but from our outpost in Central MA (Worcesterist?) where we've been each week to watch the Pats game. The Pats, by the way, just beat Washington 845-7. Mike Vrabel caught eleven touchdown passes. FoxSports is showing Bill Buckner one last time, just in case there was one person left in town who didn't...
First, the really great news: Josh Beckett managed to make C.C. Sabathia look like a Little League pitcher (no offense to some of those who are the future of America's pastime) on Friday night at Fenway Park, ably leading the Red Sox defense in what turned into a 10-3 routing in Game 1 of the ALCS. Seriously, we were a little worried about what hinted at a pitching fan's dream matchup - two great aces...
Anyone who questions that old phrase "idle hands are the devil's tools" ought to take a look at what happens in sports cities when the games are in desperately short supply. When no one's playing, people get ansty. They start speculating. Guessing. Predicting. Complaining - and no good can come of that.
Wonder whatever became of the Pats? Well, they missed their target of 38 points, but still comfortably routed the Bengals last night, 34-13. On paper, it looked like the Bengals hung around - it was 10-7 until late in the second quarter - but it never felt like they were any closer than a long arm's length. With Laurence Maroney sidelined due to a groin injury, the spotlight shone on Sammy Morris, who made the...
After what seemed like a 3 month lay-off, the Patriots were back in action Sunday afternoon, this time facing rival Buffalo in up-state New York to kick around the Bills, 28-6. The Patriots showed no signs of rust on Sunday, coming off their bye week, as they took it to the hometown Bills in front of their home crowd right from the starting gun. The Pats jumped out to an early lead by scoring...
Yesterday at Gillette Stadium, the New England Patriots bested the visiting New Orleans Saints 24-17 behind a stellar 1st half from Tom Brady and the Pats offense, and a defense that in the second half did just enough to beat the visiting Saints on a very sad day for the Patriots and Bill Belichick. Following the game, Coach Belichick dropped a bigger bomb than Tom Brady's 60 yard strike to Andre' Davis late in...
It’s tough to complain about the Boston sports scene, especially with all the successes over the past few years... But let's be honest... The Indianapolis Colts took the defending champs to the proverbial woodshed last night, and it wasn't pretty.
