For the second straight week, Boston has been featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated, though this time, it's for a much more uplifting reason.
Jon Heyman joined Gresh and Zo on Tuesday to talk some baseball. The guys hit on the current closer situation for the Red Sox, Mike Napoli's red hot start and Robinson Cano's link to the Biogenesis clinic in Miami.
The Mike Napoli signing wasn't met with tremendous excitement, but there's no doubt he's been the team's offensive MVP so far this year.
After an emotional weekend at Fenway Park where what happened "off" the field mattered way more than what occurred "on" it, it was nice to see the Red Sox open up their series with the Oakland A's with a victory.
Mike Napoli hit a grand slam and drove in five runs, Will Middlebrooks busted out of a slump with a three-run homer and the Boston Red Sox rebounded from a doubleheader sweep by beating the Oakland Athletics 9-6 on Monday night.
