Boston Sports Morning Report — Friday, Sept. 25

Boston Sports Morning Report graphic

Not for nuthin’…. But….. it’s Friday in New England and we’ve got a day-night doubleheader at Fenway plus the B’s wrapping up preseason on the road. Let’s run it down.

Short version: Sox dropped a tight one last night and host the Cubs twice today; Bruins lost in Philly and finish exhibition in D.C.; Pats wait for Sunday in Jacksonville; Celtics still warming up the preseason runway.

New England Patriots

  • Yesterday (Thu): No game
  • Today (Fri): No game
  • Next: Sun, Sept. 27 — 1:00 PM ET — @ Jacksonville Jaguars (CBS)
  • Standings: 1-1 · 2nd in AFC East (tied with the Jets), 1 GB of Buffalo

Quiet midweek after the Pittsburgh win. Load up for Jacksonville — road test coming.

Boston Red Sox

  • Yesterday: L 1–0 vs Cleveland Guardians (home)
  • Today: Day-night doubleheader vs Chicago Cubs (home) — Game 1 1:05 PM ET; Game 2 6:05 PM ET (NESN)

  • Standings: 85-74 · 3rd in AL East, 11 GB of Tampa Bay · Clinched wild card, ESPN seed #5

Heartbreaker last night, but October’s locked in. Twinbill with the Cubbies today — stay loud at Fenway.

Boston Celtics

  • Yesterday / Today: No games
  • Next (preseason): Thu, Oct. 8 — 7:00 PM ET — @ Cleveland Cavaliers
  • Regular-season opener: Tue, Oct. 20 — 3:00 PM ET — @ Detroit Pistons (per ESPN)
  • Status: Preseason / 2026-27 not started. Last season: 56-26, 2nd in the East; lost First Round to Philly 3–4.

Still quiet on Causeway. Preseason tip is a couple weeks out — enjoy the calm.

Boston Bruins

  • Yesterday (preseason): L 2–0 @ Philadelphia Flyers
  • Today (preseason): 7:00 PM ET — @ Washington Capitals — ESPN+ / NESN+
  • Next (regular-season opener): Tue, Sept. 29 — 8:00 PM ET — vs New York Rangers (home)

First preseason loss in Philly. One more exhibition tonight in D.C., then the Rangers open the real thing Tuesday.

That’s the Friday board, folks. Sox twinbill and B’s on the road; Pats on Sunday. Stay loud.

MOAM Out.
