It was wild, frustrating night for the Sox last night in Oakland, fortunately few Boston fans saw the extra innings loss due to the 9pm ET start. In case you were one of the lucky ones (aka asleep before 12:30am), the Globe’s Amalie Benjamin breaks down what happened. Fortunately, the Sox are getting some key [...]
Despite their jump into second place in the three-headed AL East playoff race, this past weekend was traumatic for Red Sox fans. First, Dustin Pedroia went down with an ankle injury after fouling a ball off his foot. He was seen in a walking boot and on crutches after the game, and is expected to [...]
Regardless of the outcome, the next time Ryan Westmoreland steps into the batter’s box will be a vctory. The Sox prospect underwent brain surgey in March to remove a cavernous malformation–basically, unwanted matter attached to his brain stem. Even more basically: very, very bad news. But yesterday, Westmoreland spoke to the media about his on-going [...]
Last week I attended the New England Revolution game at Gillette stadium. My roommate had won tickets through his work, and invited me to come along (or drive him depending on how you phrase it). As a big soccer fan, who is thoroughly excited for the World Cup next month, I instantly agreed. I looked [...]
As the C’s make the long trip up from Orlando for Game 3 on Saturday (are they walking??) Bostons rests quietly. The Celtics bring a 2-0 series lead with their new tans and new-found cougars with them from Orlando. Paul Pierce angered Orlando fans and the sports gods with an ill-advised tweet, “Anybody got a [...]
We knew Megan Fox was crazy hot. We didn’t know she was straight-up crazy.* She went public with disparaging comments on Transformers/Bad Boys/Blowing Everything Up director Michael Bay. She even compared him to Hitler. Now she won’t be in Transformers 3. Now I won’t see Transformers 3. It’s like the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon [...]
Celtics: C’s go up 2-0 on the Magic. Ian Thompson breaks down why the Celts are so much better now than in the regular season, and how Dwight has sucked so badly. SI Ahhhhhhhh -Orlando Sentinal Last night, in one of the many instances of NBA referees gaining credibility, ref Joe DeRosa made a lot [...]
Bruins: While they couldn’t quite close out the series on Friday, NHL analyst Barry Melrose says the Bruins can skate with anyone right now. (ESPN, video warning) When you have to win one of 3 games, it’s hard to say which one is a must win, but Tony Massarotti thinks it’s tonight. (Globe) With the [...]
Boston plays game four of the Conference Semifinals in Philadelphia tonight, and has a chance to sweep the flyers for their first Eastern finals trip since 1992. Sounds great right? A sweep really sets the tone for the team, and pumps up the fans for a strong conference finals showing. A few days off would [...]
Did Shawn Marion’s corpse just get traded via twitter? Has anyone ever been fined for typing “sure”? Any way you slice it, the Mavs and their industrious owner have definitely embraced social media. Now if only they’d apply the same zeal to defending Tim Duncan… Always funny when someone with such thoughtful blog posts accidentally [...]
The Red Sox were supposed to win all their games this year by a score of 2-1 or 3-1. This was certainly optimistic thinking after the departure of the team’s best hitter, OF Jason Bay. Relying on good pitching is one thing, but expecting the pitching staff to limit opponents to one run is not [...]
Bruins-Flyers Game 3 Tonight With a 2-0 series lead, the Bruins head to Philly for game three of their series tonight at 7. Think back to December when no one outside of Andy Brickley and Claude Julien’s french accent would have thought the Bruins would be up two games in a playoff series on May [...]
Staring at a 1-0 hole is never a good thing, but doing it while at the foot of King James’ throne only makes it worse. The C’s head back to Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland tonight for game 2 of their series with LeBron and the Cavs at 8pm. The Celtics had a chance to [...]
