Fall Feel this Weekend… And Dry!

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:42:14 GMT

A sight for sore eyes! Most of us will have a dry weekend to enjoy fall activities and with a fall like feel, it will be just about perfect outside for your fall plans. Today was a cooler day, yes, but today was more in line with what mid October should feel like. Boston’s high and low today were spot on the averages.The fact that our “average” day felt cooler was just a sign of how mild our October has been. While our mornings have been cool, that’s what October is supposed to feel like. The month so far has been dominated by mild air. In fact, when compared to the individual averages, October is currently the 2nd warmest month we’ve had this year. Granted, we still have half the month to go, but it’s certainly off to a warm start.The fall like feel from today will last through the weekend and most importantly it looks dry! (For most of us — more on that in a second). Saturday will feature a few more clouds but the wind will back down quite...

Red Sox encountering difficulty searching for new baseball boss

For years, Red Sox brass were like the wizards of Oz, powerfully presiding over their gleaming Emerald City.But after firing their last three top baseball operations executives – Chaim Bloom, Dave Dombrowski, and Ben Cherington – during each one’s fourth season at the helm, the curtain has been pulled back, the illusion shattered.The Red Sox are having a hard time finding someone to head up baseball ops, and they may be the only ones surprised.Not only are people not jumping at the chance to run Boston’s storied baseball team, several external candidates have actually turned them down flat, sources tell the Herald. One likened it to a fishing rod loaded with bait fooling no one into biting.This is a high-paying position, and in previous years, one of the most prestigious jobs in professional sports. Imagine someone turning the Red Sox down a decade ago.Firing one top executive within four years is an isolated incident; three consecutively is a pattern. It’s due in large part to thei...

Milan Lucic tapping into his ‘joyful aggression’ for the Bruins

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:42:14 GMT

If you were looking for a feel-good Bruins’ story last summer – and after the shocking playoff flameout and the departure of nearly half of the 65-win roster, feel-good stories were in short supply – the return of Milan Lucic after a eight years out west fit the bill.In his eight years in Boston, Lucic’s rugged style of play touched a nerve in the team’s fandom, much like Terry O’Reilly’s did. And it didn’t hurt he was part of the crew that won a Stanley Cup.Yes, the cynical among us could be forgiven if they viewed the signing with a jaundiced eye, that it was a relatively cheap way (one year, $1 million) to keep the majority of fans happy while the club goes through a transitional year. Lucic, after all, is seven years removed from his last 20-goal season in Edmonton and had just 7-12-19 totals in Calgary last year.But early indications are that while Lucic is eagerly drinking in all the nostalgia, especially with the Centennial season celebrati...
