Tyler Skaggs’ mom throws out 1st pitch and then Angels throw no-hitter!. LA scored 7 runs in 1st, had 13 hits overall. 7/13 would have been Skaggs’ 28th birthday. The last combined no-hitter in California? Oakland on 7/13/91, the day Skaggs was born.

1) The NFL owes a public apology to Tom Brady and the #Patriots. 2) All penalties - fines, draft picks - should be awarded back to NE . 3) The suspension of Brady should be stricken from the books forever. The whole thing was an embarrassment from start to finish! @michaelFhurley.
The new details reported by @ProFootballTalk add further confirmation to what has been known for a long time: The entity that lied the most and worked hardest to complete a cover-up during the DeflateGate saga was not the Patriots. It was the NFL.

One of the most shocking/surprising things to come out of these disgusting Kareem Hunt, and before that Ray Rice incidents. is how diligent, thorough, brash, and overbearing the NFL was in the Brady "DeflateGate" investigation and not for these. Shameful and embarrassing!.

If you buy a Bruins jersey it has to be a Patrice Bergeron #37. He will play his entire career in Boston. He is a Stanley Cup champion, an All-Star, a Selke award winner. And he’s the nicest professional athlete I’ve ever been around. A true role model.

Saw Celtics Co-Owner Steve Pagliuca on our way out and he said - and rightly so - that “White with the putback buzzer beater” compares history-wise with “Havlicek stole the ball” and “Now there’s a steal by Bird, underneath to DJ he lays it in”.

This pic makes me sad. Bogaerts should have been a Red Sox lifer….much like Patrice Bergeron with the Bruins. Could have signed him many times to a very reasonable contract extension too.
Xander Bogaerts stayed in the dugout alone as the Sox shook hands on the field then tipped his cap to Cora, Devers, etc.

Tim Wakefield was a community hero. Won MLB’s highest community honor - the Roberto Clemente Award in 2010. Was a @TheJimmyFund Captain, and was involved with “Pitching In For Kids”and “Wakefield Warriors”. And he loved his family - wife Stacy, and kids Trevor and Brianna. RIP.

Cora’s exact quote: “I don’t know if you guys noticed. he went to the bullpen with everybody. That guy’s nuts.” #RedSox #WorldSeries #WBZ.
Alex Cora said Nathan Eovaldi went down to the bullpen during Game 4 - meaning in Eovaldi’s mind, he was available to pitch. Amazing! #RedSox #WorldSeries #WBZ
