    2023-2024 General NBA Season Thread

    I did know that was what Porter had done and should have just used what he'd done as the example. I'd read about it on the ESPN site this evening in an article that focused on Silver's reaction to it all. Here's the thing - it may be that Porter or his buddies were (dumb and) trying to make a...

    2023-2024 General NBA Season Thread

    You're probably right re: the outcome of the game. But prop bets could be in play; e.g., a prop bet offered for a bench player such as Queta might be that he'll score more than three points. He enters the game, plays for thirty seconds then asks out, saying his knee hurts. He never scores any...

    2023-2024 General NBA Season Thread

    Jontay Porter of Raptors still being investigated related to gambling allegations. Apparently there were "irregularities in prop betting" noticed in prop bets placed on him. Silver is making noise about discipline up to banning him. Who could have guessed that opening up sports gambling would...

    Movies I'd Make

    My favorite baseball movie is "Bang the drum slowly." It covers the entire baseball year and shows the owners, managers, coaches, and players over that span. More importantly it shows the craziness, cruelty, and ultimately the caring that goes on behind the scenes. Baseball movie I'd like to...

    2024 Red Sox HOF Class: Dustin Pedroia, Jonathan Papelbon, Trot Nixon

    Trot never lived up to what we hoped he would be but his OPS vs. Clemens (in 16 AB) was .984; and I recall him hitting a very satisfying ninth inning home run vs. the Rocket.

    Tyler O’Neill traded to Red Sox

    I will hope for the best but when I look at his profile it is a bit too much like Allen Craig's for me to feel comfortable.

    Nadir

    I was 33 in 1986 and had lived through 1967 and 1975. I will forever be grateful that in 1975, the day after game seven the UMass Daily Collegian's headline read "Red Sox beat Reds three games to four". October 25, 1986. I was at my parents house with my wife. My dad had turned 70 earlier in...

    Let's enjoy memories of the Red Sox of the past 20 years! What were your favorites (team/player/moment/etc)?

    "David Ortiz! David Ortiz!! David Ortiz!! Also, David Ortiz all those other times. e.g., Game winning hits in 2004 playoffs; the "It's our [bleeping] city" after the 2013 Marathon bombing. Etc.

    Greg Bedard's - Boston Sports Journal

    I recently re-upped for three years. I've liked the Celtics/NBA coverage. I'm disappointed that, since I re-upped the baseball coverage has evaporated except for a story about Tim Wakefield written by Greg B.
