Red Sox To Move Game Start Times To 11pm So People Fall Asleep Before Realizing How Bad This Team Is
2020-08-11 13:22
Why are these games starting at 7:30pm? I've seen a story about how the Red Sox say that it increases viewership. What's that based on? What past data do they have regarding pandemic TV watc… Read More

As bad as the pitching has been, the Red Sox offense has been a bigger disappointment. I expected crap from most of the pitching staff. I didn't expect it from the offense. Since the 13 run… Read More

The first few weeks of the season, the Patriots defense looked like an all-time great unit: Picks, fumbles, sacks, shutouts, scores. But it was mostly against bad QBs and bad teams. I'm not… Read More
