Why wasn’t Jim Lonborg, the ace during the incredible Impossible Dream season, at the ceremony honoring the 1967 Red Sox on Opening Day?
Is Drew Bledsoe, the recently retired ex-Patriots quarterback, a Hall of Famer?
What are local pro baseball scouts saying about North Andover High’s rags-to-riches pitcher and probable early draft choice Mike Hashem?
Those are all good questions. And guess what? I have some thoughts on all of the above, and much, … continued »

If anybody wanted to see how Schilling’s attempt at morphing into a 40-something starter, just take a look at yesterday’s outing. Sure, it was easy to see he is throwing more change-ups and off-speed stuff, but what jumps out to me is the result of … continued »
