Here we are, folks! We've made it to the half-century mark, and boy it does not feel like we hoped it would. After the Red Sox cheap out, again, and lose All-Star SS Xander Boegarts in free agency, the Celtics made sure to really rub it in by losing to rival Golden State Warriors on Saturday night. In a game where our beloved Jayson Tatum was seeing stars, it's hard to stay positive going forward. Except it's not, and Ryan and I are here to remind you why. (We still have the league's best record believe it or not.) After finding the silver lining for the C's season, we break down the financials of the Red Sox and why they are doing the best brand in baseball dirty by not re-signing our star players. We still aren't over Mookie, btw. Before we close out this week's pod, we are sure to sneak in our usual banter and send up some Hail Marys that the Sox hold on to 3B Raffy Devers.
PS for the real ones:
Our most dedicated listenership loves us the way we love Boston. That's why The Splash is taking the official stance of being a Boston sports podcast first, and everything else second. Besides, there are a million hoops-only pods already, and they do a fine job. Leave the masshole-ery to us. If you enjoy the show, check out the website here. I wrote a couple of NBA pieces last week, and have a few more on the way.
Thanks for listening!
