?
1. Red Sox
?
* Gotta give Chaim Bloom credit for: Justin Turner, Yoshia, Duvall (if he didn't get hurt), Chris Martin
* I still say dump at deadline - not a championship team
* No A's starter was hitting over .241 and they took the series

8. Old School - In the 1960 Middleweight Championship fight at the Boston Garden between Sugar Ray Robinson and Brookline Fireman Paul Pender - the two fighters had to be separated from a record 211 clinches drawing boos from the crowd (the 5-1 underdog Pender won on decision)

10. Randomocity
?
* Top baseball radio ratings - San Franciso Giants / Red Sox are 16th (mediocre in everything)
* Signing Dalvin Cook means they don't believe in Mac Jones (control the ball and lean on average defense / 9-8 season coming)
* Prior to the 1960 fight between Sugar Ray Robinson and Pender - Robinson trained in the window of Raymonds Department store on Washington Street to raise money for the March of Dimes
* ACC rated its top football players this week - Boston College has ZERO in the top 25
* 600 great white sharks are in Massachusetts now - build cages at the beach under the water up to the surface so people can swim in virtual ocean pools
