Listeners will hear John Dennis again on WEEI. Whether it’s on the program that carries his name is another matter.Dennis, who along with Gerry Callahan has cohosted the successful morning-drive “Dennis and Callahan” program since 1997, has had a deteriorating relationship with his colleagues, in particular Kirk Minihane, who joined the show as a third host in 2013 and immediately became a compelling voice in the market.

A national coalition of police unions is standing shoulder to shoulder with Boston cops in their demand for more long guns, bulletproof shields and other defensive gear, saying the vexing issues raised in their scathing letter to the city plague front-line officers across the country.“The complaints they list are real and legitimate, and not confined to Boston,” said William J.

Boston restaurants tend to offer all kinds of details about what goes into their food. They might note that the seaweed pasta is house-made, or list the address of a farmers market that supplied the wild arugula and pine nuts. The level of cleanliness, however, is left to the eye of the diner. Spotting a dirty fork or smudged wine glass is easy; it’s more difficult to determine whether the kitchen and storage areas have passed muster with health inspectors.Those back-of-the-house mysteries shou..>> view originalSilverman: Did Red Sox get damaged goods in Drew Pomeranz?
LOS ANGELES — In his first four starts — 0-2, 6.20 ERA, 1.672 WHIP, five innings per start on average — Drew Pomeranz has not made a compelling case for being the savior the Red Sox were expecting when they traded their best pitching prospect, Anderson Espinoza, to the Padres last month.Yesterday, a new and potentially far more sinister concern popped up about the Pomeranz trade.

LOS ANGELES -- The runs finally came pouring out of the Red Sox last night.It had been two weeks since their last blowout win. Every game since July 21 had been close, decided within four runs.
