The UConn Huskies football game against the Temple Owls in Philadelphia on September 6 will be televised on ESPNU.  This is the 5th game of UConn’s football schedule that will be part of a national telecast.
Although, I’m not sure we can consider ESPNU a national telecast just yet since it’s not available in many homes [...]

Boston Red Sox News & Notes – 5/9

May 9th, 2008 by Ian · Comments Off ·

Josh Beckett went out and did just what the Boston Red Sox needed from him. A nice solid pitching effort on the mound. In the process, he also picked up his 1,000 strikeout in his career. The offense helped him out as well, getting him 3 runs in the 2nd inning and 2 in the [...]

Sexson Charges The Mound

May 9th, 2008 by Ian · Comments Off ·

After Seattle Mariners starter Felix Hernandez hit two Texas Rangers hitters, former Boston Red Sox prospect and current Ranger Kason Gabbard did what any normal pitcher would do. He buzzed one of the other team’s stars in Richie Sexson (if you call overpaid and can’t hit a lick a star). I do have to say [...]
