Yesterday, our Drive Poll asked, "Do you trust Chaim Bloom to lead the Red Sox." 51% said no, 34% said yes and 15% said it would depend on the outcome of negotiations with Bogaerts and Devers.

In order for the Patriots to have a "more successful" season than the Red Sox, they would have to finish the regular season 9-8 (.529) at minimum. Anything less, and the Pats will come up short of the low bar left behind by the Sox (.481).
With the score tied in the seventh inning on Wednesday night, Aaron Judge drove a 94.5 mph belt-high sinker to left, a no doubt rocket. He had tied Roger Maris' American League record of 61 home runs in a season, what many fans consider baseball's "clean" standard for the sport.
