For the second straight game, the Boston Bruins needed overtime to secure a road victory. For the second straight game, Patrice Bergeron delivered with a game-winning score. Bergeron, who buried a shootout chance and Atlanta on Thursday, beat Buffalo's Ryan Miller 0:47 into overtime, thanks to Zdeno Chara and Marco Sturm, to lift the Bruins to a 2-1 win. Milan Lucic tied the game at 1-1 with his first goal since April 2, according to NESN. Byron Bitz combined with Lucic and Tuukka Rask, who got his first career assist, on the end-to-end highlight-reel rush. Lucic and Bitz, a pair that had a solid outing, couldn't score on a similar play in the third. Rask had 25 saves. more ›

The baseball winter meetings are over, and the Red Sox find themselves without an ace. Except for the one they have. And the Japanese guy who might yet become one.

With a miserable rain forcing the postponement of last night's Sox-Tigers game, our thoughts turn to geography. Yes, they really do. Specifically, to a subject we've been noticing a lot lately: the fact that the Red Sox seem to attract a large number of players whose last names are also the names of towns in our fair Commonwealth. So let's hit the road and take a tour of Massachusetts, Red Sox-style. Close to Boston, we... more ›

Adam at Universal Hub first brought this to our attention, then we heard it on WBZ in the car: it's a brilliant Gil Santos mashup in which he simultaneously announces the opening day games of all four of our local teams. That Zdeko Brady Matsuzaka is a hell of an athlete, leading the league in assists, RBIs, and completion percentage. The Red Sox joined the growing number of MLB teams who've had to cancel games... more ›

Major League Baseball has its share of problems, to be sure: the steroids scandal, the delicate maneuvering they'll have to do to pretend to be excited about Barry Bonds breaking Hank Aaron's record, having to politely say "bite me" to any fan who can't afford or use a satellite dish but might want to watch more than just the hometown team. So with all these issues, baseball's finally getting serious, telling Red Sox all-around legend... more ›
