BSJ Daily Briefing 08.02.17

Good morning!

Just a wild game at Fenway last night. The Red Sox, who trailed 5-0 at one point with Chris Sale on the mound and watched Craig Kimbrel blow the save with two runs allowed in the ninth inning, beat the Indians 12-10 on Christian Vazquez's three-run, walk-off home run.

That just might be the type of win that propels a team the rest of the season. We'll have to see what happens.

Let's get going here, with a little site news for our subscribers.

PLANET OF THE APPS

We're still checking and testing for some bugs, but if you go to the app store right now, you just might find the BSJ iOS app. Take it for a spin. Let us know if there are any problems over at help@bostonsportsjournal.com (this should be your go-to address for any problems). We should be making it public sometime today.

The Android app should be dropping anytime now.

And in case any of your friends are asking, the app is free and they can access anything on there. But reading the articles requires a subscription.

And while we're on the subject of emails, if you spot anything wrong (and as a small crew getting up to speed, we're going to have our share), drop us a line at typos@bostonsportsjournal.com.

Also, as always, thanks for being our earliest subscribers. We're so happy that you're enjoying the site and preaching the BSJ gospel to your friends and family. That will be a huge key in getting this going. We like to say we're going to build this thing on the backs of our subscribers. That ain't blowing smoke, either. You, your experience on the site and the word of mouth you spread to friends are vital to us, and we thank you.

And away we go…
