    Blake Snell to the Giants

    I can see the Astros or the Yankees or the Mariners or the Phillies or the Mets or the Cubs doing this. But the Giants? Aren’t they still gonna finish 4th in the NL West?

    Who is Tek?

    3/18 - Pistons @ Cs.

    So they’re missing 4 of their top 7/8 guys. Fun

    NCAA Tournament East Region

    2 of the other 3 are football schools so no worries there.

    2004 WS Celebration

    No, participant means they will be introduced for 3 seconds and their name will be on CF scoreboard and they’ll walk/run in from the outfield.

    Do You Want John Henry To Sell The Red Sox?

    One reason it's unusual is that there are very few 100 win teams to begin with.

    2004 WS Celebration

    When was the last time they had so many available/unsold seats for the home opener just 3 weeks before? 1994?

    3/18 - Pistons @ Cs.

    The 3 H's (Horford/Hauser/Holiday) are out. As is JDD. Brown and Tatum questionable. https://www.espn.com/nba/team/injuries/_/name/bos/boston-celtics KP is probable and may score 50 tonight.

    Give them the top floor at the Hotel Commonwealth for a week or something. Or the Lenox or the Mandarin.

    2004 WS Celebration

    FYI, they waited until May 28 to do the 10 year tribute to 2004. (But yes, they were busy with something else on OD 2014!) https://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/05/boston-red-sox-2004-world-series

    2004 WS Celebration

    I don't like doing the 2 on the same day/game. The Wakefields should have the day/game to themselves. Maybe do the 2004 stuff on Pats Day. Surely the players can hotel it for a week or something.

    Do You Want John Henry To Sell The Red Sox?

    Wyc is/was a diehard C's fan Kraft is/was a diehard P's fan What billionaire diehard Red Sox fan is there that the crowd saying no, would be ok to him selling to? There's Hale Jr and old Jim Davis, and the 3 fidelity grandchildren, are they Red Sox fans? We could do a Ricketts/Cubs type deal...

    They need to pray to Helios for that. Maybe Youk can make a call.

    2004 WS Celebration

    I hope Manny makes it. And Mirabelli. And hope they invite Nomar too. And honestly any other Red Sock that played with Wake. Obviously Tek will be there. 99% sure Papi and Pedro make it. Will be a bittersweet day.

    They're also giving out Wake pins to everyone to attendance (and the schedule magnets). Not the lame bobblehead giveaways limited to just the first 7500 for other games.

    Yet another Pats draft poll--Your preference, 5 weeks out

    This is pretty much where I’m at. I am not sold on Maye, not a fan of his “do I throw or scramble” decision making. But I’m fine if they take him, knowing full we he may not end up to be much better than Zach Wilson.

    BC Hoops 2023-2024

    No, it's all the sports. They have about 700 D1 student athletes for an undergrad enrollment of about 9500. Other than the Ivies and Stanford, there aren't many D1 schools with this high a ratio. Athletics is very important to BC. It's not just football.

    BC Hoops 2023-2024

    Right but there's less than zerochance BC can be basketball in Big East but ACC in everything else. It;'s not solely football driving the bus, as what your post seemed to say.

    BC Hoops 2023-2024

    It’s not only football. Makes also more sense for BC to be in the ACC for (women’s) lacrosse, baseball, field hockey and arguably soccer. The best want to play against the best.
