There’s The Game, and then there’s The Big Game — fire up The Grill 286

An exciting, or maybe not, Rivalry Saturday of mediocre FKing football is almost upon us. For some reason the 135th edition of that excuse for drunken debauchery is being played at Fenway Park rather than Harvard Stadium. I didn’t know a betting line existed for that one, but Vegas Insider currently shows Harvard -4.5 with ...

Many of these remaining free agents dominoes should fall in the next couple weeks, and I’m sure Jed Lowrie is checking his text messages many times a day to see if he’s still an Oakland Athletic. Kendall Graveman is the remaining arb-eligible Athletic who hasn’t settled. I think they can work this one out. kendall ...
