The Drive

Apart from the Celtics who back up their words with action, which Boston ownership group do you trust the most to bring another championship back to Beantown?

He's only 25, but so far he's 21-24 as a Major Leaguer with a 4.66 ERA in 53 career starts. To this point, it's been more hype than result for the righty hurler.

Even coming off what was a very impressive season a year ago, it's at an entirely new level this season. Whether it's delivering walk-off hits, swiping bags, robbing home runs or stretching out an extra 90 feet, Jarren Duran is a gamechanger and he's becoming as lethal as anyone at doing so.

On this date 49 years ago, the movie "Jaws" was released, giving rise to a new trend in cinema - the summer blockbuster.

Is it glass half full or glass half empty for the Sox? Or, have you lost care in a team that's 1-game over .500 for the last five years?

Cast aside your superstitions. The Celtics are winning the title. So, which "Jay" will be named Finals MVP?
