Howie Carr: Put this on a billboard, governor, people are leaving Massachusetts

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 15:15:26 GMT

Gov. Maura Healey is spending hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars trying to get people to move from Florida to Massachusetts.Why?Give it up, Maura. It ain’t happening. I know that when it comes to squandering public funds, the words “due diligence” are unknown on Beacon Hill. But perhaps someone should check out the “domestic migration” numbers from the Census Bureau.Between 2019 and 2022, 853,720 Americans moved from other states to Florida.In the same period, 165,981 Americans fled Massachusetts. That was the fifth-highest total among the 50 states.It’s quite an accomplishment, considering that the Bay State is only the 16th most populated state. In other words, when it comes to population flight, Massachusetts is fighting way above its weight class.And can we all agree that the 166,000 number is probably much less than reality, and it’s only going to get worse?Who in their right minds would ever move out of a state like Florida with a temperate climate, laissez-faire social...

Homer-prone Tyler Wells yields 5 early runs and Orioles commit 4 errors in second straight loss to Dodgers, 10-3

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 15:15:26 GMT

Tyler Wells’ home run problem wasn’t actually one until Tuesday night.Wells emerged in the first half of the season as the Orioles’ best starting pitcher and the majors’ best starting pitcher at limiting base runners. He achieved those statuses despite allowing an exorbitant number of home runs — 21 in 17 starts.But 15 of those 21 long balls were solo shots. The other six were two-run blasts. And they rarely came back to bite Wells, who ended the first half with a sparkling 3.18 ERA and MLB-best 0.927 WHIP.His home run bill came due Tuesday.Wells allowed only one big fly against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Camden Yards, but it was of the variety he impressively — and somewhat luckily — avoided in the first half. Jason Heyward lined a three-run home run to straightaway center field to jump-start the Dodgers’ five-run second inning that led to a 10-3 Orioles loss.The three runs Wells surrendered on Heyward’s homer were more than he ...

Five Patriots breakout candidates to watch for 2023 season

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 15:15:26 GMT

The Patriots’ 2023 roster doesn’t look drastically different than what New England put on the field last season, but even beyond promising offensive coaching changes, there’s reason to believe the team could put out a better product this year.One potential cause for optimism is the expected growth of young players on the roster.Let’s dive into five potential breakout candidates on New England’s roster.RB Pierre StrongStrong, a 2022 fourth-round pick out of South Dakota State, barely touched the ball last season despite playing in 15 games. He finished his rookie campaign with 10 carries for an even 100 yards with one rushing touchdown and seven catches on seven targets for 42 yards.Now, veteran running back Damien Harris is no longer part of the running back room after departing in free agency for the Buffalo Bills, and his prospective replacement, free-agent signee James Robinson, was cut during spring practices.The Patriots have been kicking the tires on running back depth, accord...
