    FSG to make major investment in...professional golf?

    We've got an obsessive local billionaire here in Western New York...and the results have been very mixed for both teams. Like Henry, he too refuses to speak publicly.

    FSG to make major investment in...professional golf?

    It would appear that the PGA Tour and Strategic Sports Group ("led" by FSG) have reached a deal to form a new entity (PGA Tour Enterprises) without the Saudi PIF at least for now. The initial investment is $1.5 billion apparently capping out at $3 billion. FSG's share? Unknown. Enough to...

    Choosing your Favorite Child

    '13 forever. I only cried after one of them and that was it. I wanted it so badly for that group. I was also sad that it was over because it was an absolute joy to follow them every day ('18 was this way as well but different - they were just a baseball killing machine from start to finish)...

    FSG to make major investment in...professional golf?

    Still in it...unclear if it's an alternate to the tour partering with the Saudis or in addition to the deal. Very clear FSG means business...

    FSG to make major investment in...professional golf?

    According to Alan Shipnuck, who has been the voice in the golf world on all the LIV/Saudi drama over the past couple of years, Fenway Sports Group is looking to make a "monster bid" to obtain an ownership stake (?) in the PGA Tour. This would "usurp" the bid of the Public Investment Fund of the...

    What made Koji so great?

    100%...and it's all in Japanese. Don't care. I'd follow Koji no matter what.

    Nadir

    Apologies for the historical mistake...they were the defending champions. They lost to the Gibson/Hershiser Dodgers in 88, won the Bay/earthquake series in 89, and lost to the Sabo/Nasty Boys/Eric Davis Reds in 90.

    Nadir

    I'll go a bit far afield on this one...1990 ALCS, game 4. We were already down 3-0 to the absolute juggernaut (and eventual World Champion) Oakland A's, after having been swept by the same outfit in 1988. Clemens was my guy then, my favorite player and it wasn't close. It was an afternoon...

    The Texas Con Man, forever and always. These little drop-ins over the last few years to yuk it up on NESN or play in Steve Buckley's old time game change nothing. I still remember even if many younger folks don't.

    Green Fields of the Mind

    This tradition was started by and still belongs to @BoSoxLady as far as I am concerned

    Green Fields of the Mind

    Bumping this, a few days late. Can't mess with tradition.

    10/1 A Full Circle Mea Culpa or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Embrace the Offseason

    I always make it a point to listen to Joe call the last couple of innings on the radio. A sad day made sadder today by the loss of Wake. Brighter times ahead...I bet we go into next season with higher hopes. It's been a while since we could say that. Cue BoSoxLady...time for the Green Fields.

    The Red Sox have fired Chaim Bloom

    This is exactly where I am. What credible front office type, whether an up and comer or someone with a track record, would want to come in here, big payroll or no? Ownership set the direction and I felt like Bloom was just executing what they wanted.

    Orioles announcer Kevin Brown removed from booth for comments on lack of previous wins vs Rays

    I'm not sure if you're calling out me or mauf as Shank...but your words hurt, sir! Just to respond a little bit to mauf's comments, please don't take it that I think the current Globe/Herald coverage is the bastion of journalistic excellence...but at the very least a writer at one of those...

    Orioles announcer Kevin Brown removed from booth for comments on lack of previous wins vs Rays

    Witness the inherent dangers of the broadcast outlet being essentially the house organ for the team. The Orioles hold a 75% stake in MASN. God forbid that the reporters and broadcasters employed by the network do any actual work that puts the team in a less than stellar light (which he...

    The Ringer

    Orsillo on "The Press Box" pod today. Just starting to listen to it...the intro promised him discussing his departure from the Red Sox.

    Dirty Water TV to possibly merge with Yinzer TV

    This potential arrangement actually reminds me of what happened after the Empire Sports Network folded in the wake of the Adelphia collapse and the sabres wound up on MSG.

    X Leaves the Spot for San Diego: 11 years, $280M

    If Xander is worth that on the open market, why would Devers not try it himself. Oh well. No way in hell would I want the Red Sox saddled with that contract.

    I love the smell of burning oil in the morning - The Formula 1 2022 season

    Verstappen is a cyborg, an absolutely remorseless personality. He could give a damn whether Perez lives or dies unless he's directly aiding Max to get what he wants. I think there's trouble afoot in Milton Keynes.
