    4/14 Galileo's Well-Handled Balls. . .

    Earl Weaver would have needed a carton if Jansen was his closer. Good God.

    2024 Draft ANTI-Binkies

    Bo Nix. I have no faith in QBs who play college ball for what, six years? Is he 25? And who thrive in a conference with poor defenses against players 5 and 6 years younger than they are. Casey Weldon vibes.

    There are days when i wish had never developed an interest in sports. When I wish I had just gone to the library and studied languages and more history. There are days when I just hate sports. This is one of those days.

    Because I'm trying to jinx them.

    Denver playing a perfect game. Very impressive. Congratulations to them, very disciplined, exceedingly well coached. Very deserving tonight. Oh, and a hot goalie never hurts.

    4/12 A-Holes In The Infield.....

    I missed memories of the Boomer? Damnit. When I was at BU I would go running in the morning, and my route would take me around Fenway and then into the medical district. That same winter/spring (1980) the Boomer was attempting a comeback, and he would be out running as well as he sought to get...

    No, they didn't let a LOT go on both sides. They let a LOT go for Denver. They missed two tripping calls and a borderline roughing perpetrated against Celibrini. Again, the calls against BU were correct, they just didn't make the same calls against UD. And it wasn't just that the calls were not...

    If Denver gets to bring those refs with them into Saturday night's game, just hand the trophy to the Pioneers right now. That was fucking disgusting. And the issue was not the penalties called on BU, it was the penalties that were not called on Denver. Fucking joke.

    What Was The Red Sox Starting Lineup For Your First Home Opener in Person?

    Friday April 6, 1973. I was 11. Red Sox beat Yankees 15-5. 1st time in history that a DH was used (Ron Blomberg of the Yankees had the first DH AB). This started a stretch of 14 straight years that I attended the home opener. That ended in 1987 when I got my first (real career) job out of state...

    Larry Lucchino dead at 78

    Lucchino was treated for prostate cancer in 2000 in Boston. He talked openly about his love for Boston as a result. The experience drove him to make the remaining part of his life center around how he could use his position, privilege and wealth to fight cancer and aid cancer research. I know...

    BC player on a breakaway, clearly hooked, no penalty shot given (when there most certainly should have been). Oh, well;, BC will have the power play just the same. Except...MI Tech scores a shorty, and what should have been at the very least a BC penalty shot instead turns into a 1-1 tie at the...

    Agents of KAOS: Rafaela, Duran, and O'Neill

    I was hoping Duran was going to steal home in the top of the ninth with Casas at the plate. Duran was ⅔ of the way down the line before the pitch was even thrown.

    Patriots sign WR KJ Osborn

    He lost a number of looks to Jordan Addison, which helps explain his drop in targets, along with the aforementioned QB carousel.

    Stacy Wakefield has passed away from cancer

    There are no words. Just hopes for peace, strength, and memories of love and better times for the family, especially the children. “And even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, until in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful...
