    Hanley Ramirez is Boston Red Sox 2016 1B but Dave Dombrowski ...
    Boston Red Sox president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski and manager John Farrell have been adamant this offseason that Hanley Ramirez will be the club's starting first baseman this coming season.  Everything that has been said points to the Red Sox being patient with Ramirez early during the regular season, even if he experiences some defensive hiccups. But I'd be surprised if Ramirez starts at first base on Opening Day unless he works extremely hard during spring training with infield..

    Hike in Eastie violence tied to gang feud
    The murders of three teens in East Boston since last fall may be linked to a bloody beef between rival Central American gangs MS-13 and 18th Street — an escalating feud that is ongoing, Boston’s top cop said.“When we have two 15-year-olds and a 16-year-old viciously stabbed and their lives taken so young, we have a serious problem,” Boston police Commissioner William B. Evans said yesterday, referring to the murders of Wilson Martinez, Irvin de Paz Castro and Cristofer Perez de la Cruz — slaying..

    Suffolk University's board taking a PR hit
    I was trying to understand how Suffolk University could be on the brink of firing its fourth president in five years, so naturally I called the man who runs the place.Fortunately, George Regan had time to take my call. “Sometimes you just have to cut your losses, stop the bleeding, and move on,” the public relations magnate and former Suffolk trustee explained. “That’s what we need to do now.” Advertisement Some people support current president Margaret McKenna and some definitely do not, bu..

  • No Sweeping Results in Boston's Home-and-Homes

    No Sweeping Results in Boston's Home-and-Homes
    ORLANDO – If the Celtics didn’t know it before Sunday night, they sure know it now: it’s tough to sweep a home-and-home set in the NBA. Sunday’s 119-114 loss in Orlando stands as the latest supporting evidence in this case. Boston has now failed to sweep all three of its home-and-homes during its 2015-16 season. Two nights ago at TD Garden, the Celtics dismantled Orlando. They legitimately forced their visitors into submission during a 113-94 victory. The Magic quit. Boston’s domina..
