• Malden Twitterer @markrotoole pointed this out: Now that the Bruins have won the Stanley Cup, the New England Patriots are the Boston-based team with the longest title drought. Seriously, they haven’t won in six years.
• With 9-2 odds, the Red Sox are the American League favorites to appear in the World Series. If they were to win the championship, that would make eight titles in 40 chances over 10 years. Boston teams would have won 20 percent of all titles awarded in that time.
