    Tigers 6, Red Sox 5: Boston comes up short in Detroit
    By Brian MacPherson, @brianmacp DETROIT — As hitter after hitter for Detroit strolled around the bases in the eighth inning, beneficiaries of untimely walks issued by Red Sox relievers, it became clear just how much Boston is scraping the bottom of the bullpen barrel. Carson Smith remains out, recovering from elbow surgery. Tyler Thornburg remains out with a shoulder impingement and won’t even play catch until next week. Matt Barnes is away from the team on bereavement leave. Robbie..

    How and why the Red Sox bullpen fell apart in Detroit
    DETROIT -- Only a half-inning after their improbable comeback, the Red Sox saw today’s game slip away as three different relievers failed to get the final out of the eighth inning here.This was a failure of the team’s bridge to closer Craig Kimbrel, a bridge that was supposed to rely on injured Tyler Thornburg, and a bridge that was further depleted this week when Robby Ross Jr. went on the disabled list and Matt Barnes went on the bereavement list.“Still, there’s quality stuff,” manager John F..

    By Mike Loftus, @MLoftus_Ledger BOSTON — The Bruins played their first game of the 2016-17 season almost six months ago, on Oct. 13.

  • Bulpett: Celtics need to remember that they're the underdogs

    Bulpett: Celtics need to remember that they're the underdogs
    CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The disturbing aspect of this week’s games against Cleveland and Atlanta is not that they were losses. To the self-aware Celtics, the issue is the way the club played those games. Or didn’t play.For the seeming entirety of the 23-point surrender to the Cavaliers and for the majority of the defeat in Atlanta made close by a late run after falling behind by 20, the Celts played with an air of superiority that was unceremoniously punctured by both opponents. The Cavs are the ..

    There's a barista battle brewing in Boston
    In March, Jared Mancini wrote an e-mail, the subject in all caps: “WHERE DO YOU LOOK TO HIRE STAFF???” Mancini is the owner of the SIP Cafe in Post Office Square, and the missive was sent to three dozen coffee shop managers in Boston. Many wrote back, echoing his frustration, and saw the e-mail as a clarion call: The city’s coffee scene has never seemed more robust, but there’s a barista shortage brewing, and Boston’s cafe owners are struggling to hire and retain talent. There’s now a lot of m..
