It seems that Mother Nature didn't think the Red Sox's doubleheader sweep of the Tigers on Thursday was impressive enough - the first games after that two-fer will be tidily bundled in another dual-game gameday. The Sox called Friday's scheduled game against their Interleague Play Atlanta visitors pretty early, deciding instead to go the route of a 1 p.m./7:35 p.m. Saturday schedule.

The Ron Borges been-caught-stealin' story ain't over. The Globe reporter who was suspended for two months without pay for taking content from the Tacoma News Tribune has stirred up quite the ethical debate over at Deadspin.

After consulting with many specialists about his physical condition and whether or not he should ever play football again, Bruschi says that he has decided to come back. This past February, #54 suffered from a stroke caused by a small hole in his heart, leaving him blind and unable to even walk. He spent months in rehabiliation and now his doctors assure us that since fixing his heart, he is all set.

Playing the game is the most fun thing about it. There's meetings, practices, and training sessions you have to go through, but playing football and being part of this team - this New England Patriot team - is something I feel really special about. The game. The game is what I missed."
