Red Sox Nation FUMES after getting swept by the Rays // Is it time to fire Craig Breslow? //

A cultural history of race, resistance, and representation in a city divided by politics and playWhen outfielder Bernie Carbo joined the Red Sox in 1974, he brought with him a toy gorilla named Mighty Joe Young that became the team's unofficial mascot for several players and many in the local press. This seemingly innocent stuffed animal was introduced within a baseball team notorious for its stubborn discrimination, and during a particularly fraught era of racial discord in Boston. That June, after years of activism from the city's Black community, Judge W. Arthur Garrity Jr. ruled that Boston must address the segregation of its schools through redistricting and busing. The ensuing racial animus to these policies led some of the city's white residents to throw bananas and chant monkey sounds at African American students as they integrated the predominantly white South Boston High School. In this agitated atmosphere, cultural symbols like the Red Sox's Mighty Joe Young mirrored and amplified the heightened racial tensions of Boston's busing crisis.Situated at the intersection of US cultural and social history, Segregation Games: Boston, Busing, and the Making of Red Sox Nation (U Massachusetts Press, 2026) examines the surprising ties in 1970s Boston between the racial segregation of the city's schools and the racial controversies expressed on and off the field of “Red Sox Nation.” “I found out in the black community why they don't come out [to Fenway Park],” explained Black player Reggie Smith of his experiences with the Red Sox and the city during this period. “The team was the last to get Black players, and some of the things I hear out in the stands make me sick.” To understand these connections, Faflik erases the lines between politics and sport, which routinely blurred in a city suffused with an anti-Black racism that was both deceptively subtle and fiercely overt.Drawing upon deep archival research from sources that have largely been ignored, such as the Black press of the time, Faflik offers a carefully nuanced portrait of Boston's cultural life at a pivotal moment in the city's history.

David Faflik, a Professor in the Department of English at the University of Rhode Island has a new book titled "Segregation Games: Boston, Busing, and the Making of Red Sox Nation" (Univ. of Massachusetts Press 2026). The book examines the "surprising ties in 1970s Boston between the racial segregation of the city's schools and the racial controversies expressed on and off the field of 'Red Sox Nation.'" David Faflik's faculty page at URI.https://web.uri.edu/english/meet/david-faflik/"Segregation Games" at UMass Presshttps://www.umasspress.com/9781625349286/segregation-games/Episodes referenced: Episode 45A: "Shavermetrics w/ Scott Russell and Bill 'Spaceman' Lee (Radio Edit)"Errata: Sam Jethroe was the first African American player to take the field for the Boston Braves - he did so on April 18, 1950.

KJ Carson holds court, and takes your phone calls, on this Mother's Day. Plus, the latest on Payton Tolle's emotional outing today.

It's a Saturday night massacre. Tonight, just hours after a 17-1 victory in Baltimore, Red Sox manager Alex Cora - and 5 other coaches - were fired following a 10-17 start, and a roller-coaster tenure for Cora. WEEI's Christian Arcand, Rob Bradford, KJ Carson, and Jon Lyons cover the breaking developments. Plus, they have YOUR reactions to an unforgettable day for Red Sox Nation.

Will Flemming chats with catcher Carlos Narvaez after the Red Sox beat the Tigers 8-6 about the team picking things up after Sonny Gray went down, fighting through his own struggles at the plate, and the importance of today to not only the team but the city as well.

The 2026 baseball season is open. And, just like that, it's over! That's right, we lost two games to old friend Terry Francona and his sidekick Eugenio Suarez. Time to immediately doom and gloom. 162-0 is off the table. Call it a season. What do Garrett Crochet and Connelly Early have in common? Shoved. That's right, shoved. Even better, Wilyer with the bonks. That's why they call him bonkin' Wilyer. Three games in and there's a lot to notice with this team. Even Connor Wong had an extra base hit! Maybe the 2026 Red Sox will be redeemable after all. https://linktr.ee/nasppodcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Pete Alonso lands in Baltimore, way to go Breslow! // Red Sox Nation sounds off.. and they're not impressed // Frustration with Sox ownership is boiling over //

Live show! Thurs, Oct 23 at The Burren, Davis Square, Somerville, MassOctober is Domestic Violence Awareness month. We should be talking about domestic violence, and how to prevent it, all the time, to help others recognize what it is and how insidious that it can be. It is not just bruises and black eyes. Jennifer Martel's case is like so many other women who were tied to a bad relationship through a shared child. Few people seemed to know what Jennifer was really going through at home. There were many reasons why leaving was so difficult. The Murder of Jennifer Martel, Waltham, MassachusettsIt is like so many other women's stories who were trying to see a way out. It is like so many other stories where the victim is lost in the headlines of the case. What it is not like is how she was murdered by a very dangerous man who had been dangerous for a long time. He was someone she was and had been with for years. The man who was the son of a beloved voice of Red Sox Nation, Jerry Remy, the "RemDog." Fenway Park is like church around here. There is a lot of hero worship. Jennifer Martel was 27 when she was murdered. She had a plan for the next phase of her life, a next phase that did not include Jared Remy. Just two days before Jennifer was killed, Remy was arrested for slamming her head into a bathroom mirror. She called to report him — the audio from the 911 call says it all — and Remy was arrested and charged with assault and battery. Jennifer was granted an emergency restraining order that night, and she would be able to extend it the following day, Wednesday, August 14, at Remy's arraignment in Waltham District Court. However, Jennifer did not appear in court and the restraining order expired. Something that would prove to be a grave error on the prosecutors' part is that no one had the foresight to look at his background. No one checked priors. If they had, they would have seen a long history of violence against women. Instead, they sought no bail, and he was released on personal recognizance on an open assault and battery case.It is important to understand why Jennifer didn't attend that arraignment the day before she was stabbed to death in the presence of her 4-year-old and her next door neighbors. History is well documented as to why many women don't appear in abuse cases like this – for fear of retribution, more abuse, how they can support themselves and their children, the pleas of the partner, and, in Jennifer's case, from the Remys. Patty Martel said Jennifer heard from Remy's mother, Phoebe, who begged her not to file a complaint because it would ruin Remy's life. His life. Mrs. Remy, according to the Martels, said they would protect her. Maybe Mrs. Remy believed what she was saying, but her son's history of violence was crystal clear.National Domestic Violence Hotline | thehotline.org | Call 1.800.799.SAFE (7233)Jane Doe Inc | janedoe.org | Massachusetts Coalition Against Sexual Assault and Domestic ViolenceCrime of the Truest Kind | Follow @crimeofthetruestkindOnline: CrimeoftheTruestKind.com Follow: @crimeofthetruestkind Support: patreon.com/crimeofthetruestkind Created, written, hosted by Anngelle Wood#MassachusettsTrueCrime #NewEngland #TrueCrime #Storytelling #CrimeHistory #Advocacy #Podcast #ColdCases #Unsolved #Missing #Society #AnngelleWood Hosted on Acast.

After six straight wins the Red Sox nation is back packing Fenway Park

Red Sox making moves and we hear what Red Sox nation thinks

Red Sox still need pitching. Rob Bradford gives insights into what the Red Sox will do.

The Boston Red Sox just traded away Rafael Devers, and the city is in shock. In this episode of Missing the Point, hosts Rayshawn Buchanan and Michael Marcangelo dive into one of the most controversial moves in recent MLB history: sending Devers to the San Francisco Giants. They break down why this deal feels like a salary dump, what it says about the Red Sox front office's priorities, and how it compares to the infamous trades of Mookie Betts, Nomar Garciaparra, and Xander Bogaerts. Is this rock bottom for Red Sox Nation? Are we entering a new era of hopelessness at Fenway?Then it's time for NBA Finals Game 6, where the Oklahoma City Thunder are on the verge of winning their first NBA championship. The guys analyze Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's MVP-level postseason, Tyrese Haliburton's shocking collapse, and how this young OKC squad is building a true dynasty. We also touch on the Boston Celtics' offseason strategy, including trade scenarios for Jrue Holiday, Kristaps Porzingis' health, and why Michigan's Danny Wolfcould be a draft-day steal.Don't forget to follow us across all platforms:

In a stunning move, the Boston Red Sox traded three-time All-Star Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants for four players. Red Sox Nation is NOT happy about the move…Why did the Sox trade Devers just two years after giving him a $313.5 million contract to be the face of the franchise? We discussed the drama between Devers and the Red Sox Clubhouse that might have contributed to the trade.

Here we go Red Sox Nation... It's opening day at Fenway today!

He's been called a "manager's dream". Johnny Damon once said of him "Just to be his teammate is something I will always remember." ELLIS BURKS is a great story teller with so much wisdom to share, which he does with humor, charm and grace. You're going to want to hear the story of the year that he and the Red Sox broke the curse and how it effected him personally. Not to mention how EB handles the 6 pack! (Here's a hint- he aced it!) Red Sox Nation, Rockies fans, you gotta listen to this episode!

Hart, Fitzy and Johnson react to Red Sox manager Alex Cora's assertion on The Greg Hill Show that the team has "adults" in the locker room now, and they continue their discussion on the role Alex Bregman will play in the team's potential success in 2025 and beyond.

We dive straight into the hot topic of the Red Sox offseason: Rafael Devers and Alex Bregman at third base. With Bregman joining the team, Devers has made it clear he's not ready to give up his spot at the hot corner. The guys discuss whether both players could coexist at third, or if one will need to shift positions. Alex Cora weighs in on Devers' comments and what it means for the team as they prepare for 2025. Then, Bregman joins the show to talk about why he chose the Red Sox, his excitement for Fenway Park's playoff atmosphere, and how moves like Garrett Crochet, Aroldis Chapman, and Walker Buehler influenced his decision. He shares his thoughts on playing with young stars like Khristian Campbell, Marcelo Meyer, and Roman Anthony; his relationship with Cora, and his confidence in fitting well at Fenway. Tanner Houck also talks about the Red Sox's pitching depth in 2025, with returning arms like Bryan Bello and Kutter Crawford, and what Garrett Whitlock's return means for the team. Plus, we discuss Khristian Campbell's focus for Spring Training as he aims to improve heading into the season. It's an exciting time for Red Sox Nation—don't miss this packed episode of 310 To Left presented by your New England Ford Dealers and hosted by Tom Caron & Lou Merloni!

Gresh and Hart compared the buzz surrounding the Patriots and the Red Sox.

Jones asks the Big Q @2:00: what is more likely: The Red Sox making the playoffs or the Patriots winning 5+ games?Mego:  I am going to go with Patriots winning five games. There are two up in the air. Here are the winnable games. You could beat the Bears or the Chargers as well. Their schedule is out of their control. I am sorry Red Sox Nation ™. Arcand: I thought the Red Sox had to make a big move to make the playoffs, I do not think either will happen, but the more likely scenario is for the Sox to make the playoffs. I am rooting for this to happen, but I can see the Red Sox falling behind, but they do not quit. The Patriots are unknown to me. Jones: Both of these will happen, but more likely the Sox make the playoffs. It is sooner.

Discussing Memphis In May and Smokeslam With Doug Scheiding and Ray Sheehan and Author of The Fenway Effect, David Krell Doug Scheiding and Ray Sheehan are well known to Baseball and BBQ listeners and return to the show, not as guest co-hosts, but as guests.  Doug was at Memphis In May where he conducted demonstrations for Home Depot, cooking on a Traeger grill and Ray was at Smokeslam presenting cooking demonstrations as well.  Doug has a new lineup of rubs and they can be ordered by going to  https://roguecookers.com/  and Ray has his newly branded rubs and sauces and they can be ordered at  https://www.raysheehan.com/      David Krell is an author and baseball historian.  His latest work is, The Fenway Effect:  A Cultural History of the Boston Red Sox.  As stated on various websites where the book is sold, "To be a part of Red Sox Nation is to be a hopeful romantic who neither betrays loyalty nor surrenders hope in the direst of circumstances. From Bangor to Back Bay, New Englanders endure in baseball matters. And life. The team's history has intersected with the history of Boston and well beyond it, through the Curse of the Bambino, the military service of Ted Williams during World War II, and the Boston Marathon bombing. The Fenway Effect chronicles these stories and others that have built the incredible saga of the Boston Red Sox.  How did Cheers depict the passion of Boston's sports fans? Why is Narragansett beer so important to New England?  What did the Boston press really think about Red Sox owner Harry Frazee selling Babe Ruth to the Yankees?  Even Yankees fans will tip their caps to the rich impact of the Red Sox on music, movies, branding, broadcasting, and more. Plus, there's a chapter focusing on the oral history of Red Sox fans, some of whom share anecdotes that are funny, insightful, and heartwarming."

For 50 years, 1939-1989, Red Sox Nation had three successive Hall Of Famers, guarding the Green Monster of Fenway out in left-field. Ted Williams, Carl Yastrzemski and Jim Rice. With the Splendid Splinter's story already in our collection, and Jim Rice on the horizon, this week we take a dive into the life and career, of the man New Englanders would affectionately call Yaz. The two things the Polish immigrant Yastrzemski family knows, is growing potatos and playing baseball. Under the omnipresent and watchful tutelage of his father and uncles, Yaz would rise from the farm to Cooperstown, with a dominant 23 year baseball career for the Red Sox, as one of the greatest all-around left-fielders who ever lived. #CarlYastrzemski #BostonRedSox #NotreDame #RayGarland #TedWilliams #LakeRonkonkoma #FrankNekola #TomYawkey #FenwayPark #RaleighCapitals #MinneapolisMillers #JakeRobinson #CharlieGunz #BackwardsKPod #NewEngland
