Review – Alex Cora: The Making Of A Champion

It was an in depth and poignant piece on our manager, a tremendous watch. The story starts and ends from his home town of Caguas Puerto Rico, from his childhood straight through to his current place as the first Big League manager from Puerto Rico. Oh, and through that incredible Red Sox season in 2018.

Raising a Glass to Rick Porcello

Let’s take a minute to appreciate Rick Porcello from the ho hum, nothing to see here, game 3 of the ALCS in Houston.  He comes in to start the fourth inning and proceeds to give up a pesky pole special, 326 foot homer to Mookie’ Betts’ best pal, and number 9 hitter, Tony Kemp.  Tony Kemp.  What a gnat.  If the script was flipped and Houston wins in 5 it might've been him instead of our beloved JBJ being the ALCS MVP.  Then he faces the daunting top of the Astros lineup. Just imagine: The roof is closed on Minute Maid park, the smell of leather and the Jackson Street BBQ and Taco Trio in the air, the awesome noise of the Houston fans pounding on his amygdala.  It’s Alex Bregman up to bat looking to atone for inciting the Sox with his Instagram post before game 3.
