Football season is here … the high school schedule kicks off tonight with eight games … then there is more high school action tomorrow while Norwich and Castleton State open their college seasons as well.
One of the more interesting games of opening night is scheduled in Colchester where defending the Division Two state champion Lakers [...]

There is nothing like making a major statement in the first game of a new season … the University of Vermont men’s soccer team did exactly that yesterday.
After suffering through a 1-10-5 season in 2009 the Catamounts put that all in the rear view mirror yesterday afternoon with an impressive 2-1 overtime win over #13 [...]

I’m back from an all too brief vacation … and yes, I’ll probably talk about it on this morning’s Big Sports Show on NSN Radio, but hey, look at it this way, it’s radio … at least you won’t have to look at the pictures!
Not that much happened while I was away. The Red Sox [...]

For one magical night it was just like the good old days … except for the result on the field. The Vermont Lake Monsters played what was likely their final home game of 2010 last night at Centennial Field … what MIGHT have been their final home game ever at their decaying old ballyard. And [...]

Tonight is the final night of the 2010 regular home season for the Vermont Lake Monsters … they play host to the Connecticut Tigers in a 7:05 starter at Centennial Field.
I’ve spent a lot of time this season harping on the need to keep baseball in Burlington … not today. Today I want to talk [...]

Seems like I’m using this phrase a lot lately … biggest crowd of the season last night at the Vermont Lake Monsters game … but there it was again last night … 3,802 fans at Centennial Field to see the Monsters drop a 6-5 decision to the Connecticut Tigers. Yes, I know, it was 25 [...]

Take note … Time to get cracking with your shopping … Christmas is four months from today!
Johnny Damon sent his holiday gift along to the Red Sox yesterday … a lump of coal. Was anyone really surprised when Damon announced he would pass on the chance to return to the Sox and stay in Detroit? [...]

Johnny Damon?
Johnny Damon coming back to the Red Sox?
Well give Theo and company credit … they apparently aren’t leaving any stone unturned in the effort to get back into the AL East race.
Like any Red Sox fan it bothered me when Damon opted to sign with the Yankees in 2006 … but that is now [...]

With the announcement yesterday that Lou Piniella is retiring immediately for family reasons (he wants to spend more time with his 90 year old mother) this question came to my mind … is Lou Piniella a Hall of Famer? He had a solid workmanlike career as a player and has had a long and mostly [...]

Alright I’ll admit it right now … I blew it. After all the talk in this space earlier in the week how Jon Lester has clearly taken over as the ace of the Red Sox pitching staff there could be only one result, and we got it last night … Lester gets drilled for eight [...]
