Boston Sports

Somebody in Boston just got excited. First the Pats trade for Mr. Randy Moss. Then the Bruins go ahead and sign a bunch of bartenders..I mean hockey players. Then in the same day, Kevin Garnett and Eric Gagne arrive in Boston. I mean…to be honest…yup, there it goes, it twitched!?!?! Revolution, you are next on the board. At this point, the only thing that would surprise me is if they sign Pele to a 10 day contract. Besides the Sox adding another arm to their arsenal, they have the lead and fans are ready to go for the playoffs. The Patsy’s just started camp and it smells good. And now, I’m bringing out some old footage of the Chief banging against Bill Cartwright under the boards. As far as the two remaining starters for the Celts….I mean you could take two guys coming out of Cask n’ Flagons and throw some unies on them and they’ll still win 55 games.

I see good things, like the time I saw the Sox bring in Bob Stanley to close it…..too soon?

Boston Celtics - umm yes please

So, the Celtics took a page from the Bruins and pulled the trigger on a trade. Recently, the Bruins made a trade for a goalie...Yahoo!Sports reports that the Boston Celtics will now acquire Kevin Garnett from the Minnesota Timberwolves. This is a big trade for the Celtics and what most people will say, the East. Taking a look into what the C's gave up, it seems they are looking at winning now instead of building for the future. KG will lining up with Pierce, Ray Allen and others as they try to make the playoffs(please oh lord – and when I say lord I mean Larry Bird). So I think these big 3(which are not even close to the original Big 3 of Celtics lore from the 80’s - subtle shorts) have some pressure to perform. Since all of them are in their thirties and none of them have performed diddly-poo in the playoffs AND they gave away the core of their young nucleus….just saying I hope they perform well. To Danny Ainge – how many late night phone calls promising dinners to Kevin McHale did it take to make this deal?? Apparently the new Boston way…can’t win so we trade for the players….huh, weird, where have I seen this before?!?!?

Boston Celtics - umm yes please

So the rumor of KG going to the Celtics is on again; reported by Jeff Goodman of Foxsports.com. Not gonna lie here, if the Celtics get KG, they have to be respected as a contender right away. Pierce, Ray and Garnett alone are pretty impressive. You throw in Green and a few others for the youth and daddy like. Plus in the 'deal' would be getting rid of Theo Ratliff, I mean I guess he's alright if you like paying close to $12 mil a year for a seat warmer. Anyway, I say get it done to Danny boy and the rest of the Celts front office.

Pats Camp Is In full Swing

Here are Mike Reiss's of the boston globe's observations from yesterday

Here are five observations from today's second practice, which was attended by 3,410 spectators:


1) Cornerback depth. When Chad Scott was carted off the field with what looked like a serious injury, the Patriots' personnel at cornerback came into sharper focus. Randall Gay moved up to play opposite of Ellis Hobbs. The team also had 12-year veteran Tory James, rookie Mike Richardson (sixth round) and second-year man Gemara Williams taking snaps at corner. With Asante Samuel remaining away from training camp, this is an area that could need reinforcements.


2) Maroney's move. Earlier in the day, running back Laurence Maroney mentioned that if there was one part of his game that he hoped to improve, it was his pass-catching and route-running. So far, so good. In a drill in which backs caught passes against linebackers, Maroney put a nifty move on linebacker Tedy Bruschi, and as Bruschi fell down, it drew a reaction from the crowd.


3) Gunners at the goal-line. Gunner on punt coverage is one of the more underappreciated aspects of the game and second-year man Willie Andrews showed his expertise by keeping his feet in the field of play and downing a punt near the goal-line. That drew the approval of special teams coach Brad Seely. Andrews is a seventh-round pick in 2006 who tied for the team lead with 15 special teams tackles last year. He's the type of player who is easy to overlook, but he should have a place on the team's 53-man roster.


4) Receivers and special teams. However the competitive race for receiver roster spots turns out, special teams figures to be a key factor. Players vying for the fourth, fifth and possibly sixth spots at receiver will have to contribute on special teams and that could help Kelley Washington's cause. Washington was working as a gunner and has been part of special teams units with the Bengals.


5) Scouts in the house. Several of the team's scouts watched practice this afternoon. That can be a beneficial experience, getting an up-close view of what the coaching staff is looking for at each position, and then taking that on the road to colleges when scouting players.

SATURDAY PLAN: The Patriots are scheduled to hold one practice on Saturday (2:30 p.m.). It is closed to the public due to a concert being held at Gillette Stadium. Our first update will be from practice.

So far so good

Dont you just love it when the Bats are hitting. It takes a slip up from the starter in this case Kason and makes it ok.

woo hoo go sox

LETS GO BECKETT

lETS MAKE IT 6 IN A ROW. lOOK AT THE DEER HE BAGGED, RUMOR HAS IT HE NAMED IT FAUSTO!

Dice K Is the MAN!!

Dice-K is THAT GOOD! This guy is worth the money. this is not a he is having a good day post, of course he has had some bumps in the road. But this Clevland team can flat out rake and he is getting it done once again.

Great JoB TheO great signing.

This Kid Is Nasty

Lester. Great Job, now throw 7 innings

Lester was great. My only concern is that i hope he can keep his pitch count down and become a 7 inning pitcher. Last night was great adn 6 was enough. But if you recall last year he had trouble hanging around late int games like kason has been doing.

I hope t osee this improve, but overall i am so happy with his progress.

Bud Selig, are you retarded?

Come on Bud! Who the hell is this guy? Mr. Indecisive? Mr. I Don't Want To Endorse Baseball? Mr. Racist? Yep that's right... he's a racist! Well maybe that's a little overboard but he is absolutely rick-dick-u-lus. In a day when baseball is clouded by the big head of HGH and other performance enhancers, when stadiums like Tropicana only fill up during hurricane Katrina, and when all the fans want is someone to cheer for - the biggest "say so", Bud Selig, is saying nothing. He's not gonna ride the biggest wave in baseball history since the Iron Man, Cal Ripkin? How do you play 2131 games without steroids? I take them just to go to work everyday.

ANYWAY...

Barry isn't all that bad. I mean yeah he's an a***ole and yeah he doesn't deal with the public that well and yeah he kinda has a g** Michael Jackson voice but really he's not that bad. Not bad enough for Bud to absolutely cut him off. Bud is telling every fan in baseball that this in not right, that the sport is not "2 legit to quit", that we should all stop watching. This is the second biggest record in baseball history and Selig is a no show.

So Bud if you happen to see this...Hop on your private Jet, take an upper and go stand next to Barry with a red, white and blue sparkler in your hand. Cause your missing one hell of a photo opp you bitter S.O.B. you.

LETS GO SOX

Jon Lester Starts Tonight In Cleveland

Jon Lester returns tonight from the minor leagues and more importantly his fight with Cancer. It would certainly be nice if he could have returned in Fenway or against a team a little worse off than Cleveland but hey I am happy he's back.

But there is no way that when Schilling comes back that Lester can prove to be better than what we have got from Kason Gabard right? Long term potential aside right now, kason may be better. Its tough I guess because they both cant start if and when Curt comes back. I guess its a good problem to have.

Saw this and if you didn't see it, YOU SHOULD

The Fan's at Fenway did a great thing with their tribute for Trot Nixon. Take a look at what they did when trot came to the plate.

Way to stay Classy Fenway!!

The Sox really needed this win tonight and how about J.D. Drew and Julio Lugo coming up big. LUGO makes my head hurt when I think about how poorly he played to start the season.
