COMEBACK KIDS! C’s Climbing Back into Series

Published on May 2, 2013, by in Celtics, NBA.

The Knicks may have been the jokesters beforehand, but it was the Celtics who got the last laugh Wednesday night. Is this really happening?  Have the old, raggedy, Rondo-less Celtics truly managed to force a Game 6 on their home court after falling down 3-0 to a seemingly overpowering New York Knicks squad?  I wouldn’t

Closer Than You Think

Published on April 18, 2013, by in MLB, Red Sox.

Hanrahan has made recording outs in the ninth inning far from an easy task this season.    Over the last two seasons, the Pittsburgh Pirates have been the darlings of baseball’s first half of the season.  They combined for a 95-80 record before the All-Star break over that time, and they did so without much

There’s Something About Jackie

Published on March 26, 2013, by in MLB, Red Sox.

Jackie Bradley Jr. showed Sox fans that even a little guy has opposite-field “pop,” being congratulated here after lacing a three-run homer to left in the Sox’ 7-6 win over the Phillies this past Sunday.       Somehow, without ever suiting up for Boston (or even Pawtucket, for that matter) the name Jackie Bradley

Poor ‘D’ Highlights C’s Slow Start

Published on November 5, 2012, by in Celtics, NBA.

It has been the lack of performance from KG that has made victories hard to come by early on in the season.    This isn’t exactly how we Celtics fans expected our team to come out of the gate.  Especially not with promises from Jason Terry of a championship and overall confidence beaming from the

Good to Have Papi Back

Published on November 5, 2012, by in MLB, Red Sox.

Despite hitting in the lineup only one game after July 16th, Ortiz led the Sox in homers with 23. He also hit .318 and drove in 60 runs. C’mon, did you ever really think he’d leave? After the team offered renown slugger David Ortiz a one-year, $13.3 million qualifying offer Friday, word broke that the

Bobby V is GONE!

Published on October 5, 2012, by in MLB, Red Sox.

It’s obvious that hiring Bobby Vee wasn’t a right fit from the get-go. I’m sure you all heard the news yesterday about the firing of Boston Red Sox Manager (if you could even call him that) Bobby Valentine. The Sox waited until the season came to an end to part ways with Bobby V, but

Williams Eclipses .400

Published on September 28, 2012, by in MLB, Red Sox.

It was 71 years ago to the day that “The Splendid Splinter” Ted Williams surpassed a .400 batting average, collecting six hits in eight at-bats in a double-header against the Philadelphia Athletics on the final day of the regular season. Williams ended the season hitting .406, the numbers after which the infamous glassed-in club behind

Scal to the Celtics… Well sort of

Published on September 7, 2012, by in Celtics, NBA.

ESPN Chicago is reporting the Brian Scalabrine has retired and will take a color commentary position calling Boston Celtic’s games next season. I personally love this idea! I can’t wait to hear his old battle stories about how he spent many a night getting towels and Gatorade for KG and the guys. This should make

Done Deal

Published on August 25, 2012, by in MLB, Red Sox.

It was all but finalized by a tweet from Nick Punto, bidding Red Sox Nation farewell and thanking them for the time he spent with Boston. Not long after, he, along with Adrian Gonzalez and Josh Beckett boarded a private plane to Los Angeles, unloading close to $300 million in the process in easily the

Dodgers Awarded Gonzalez Claim

Published on August 24, 2012, by in MLB, Red Sox.

Watching arguably the Sox’ best hitter could become simply a memory in the coming weeks. According to a report from ESPN. com’s Gordon Edes, Red Sox first baseman Adrian Gonzalez could be headed to Los Angeles. The report claims that the Los Angeles Dodgers were awarded a waiver claim for Gonzalez, leaving the Sox to
