    3/28 A trip to the Capitol.

    Just seeing the score now. How the F did the Celtics get absolutely obliterated by the Wizards? I'm getting pretty tired of seeing the Celtics get run over by mediocre and terrible teams. Seems like it happens all the time now.

    Pats 2023 Offseason

    Also, among the teams we'd say have been really successful lately... The Rams had a good 5-year run after spending 12 years in the wilderness, winning 4 or fewer games in 5 of those 12 seasons. During this good run, they went to two Super Bowls, losing one (to our Patriots), and after going...

    Pats 2023 Offseason

    To make that point even more stark: there have been plenty of 1 win teams in the NFL. 1-15 (back when it was a 16 game season) = .063 = 10 MLB wins And there have been plenty of, say, 14 win NFL teams. 14-2 = .875 = 142 MLB wins So there's a broader "range" in the NFL than in MLB.

    Hey, listen. I said I'm a bit of a nerd. I'm not THAT much of a nerd! ;)

    Pats 2023 Offseason

    I think the range for the Pats, given the schedule, is between 7 wins and 11 wins. 7 wins is a .412 win percentage 11 wins is a .647 win percentage Project those out over 162 games and here's what you get: 7 NFL wins = .412 win percentage = 67 MLB wins 11 NFL wins = .647 win percentage = 104...

    2022-23 Bruins Season

    Just when the Bruins stumble a little, they bounce right back. After losing 3 of 4, they've ripped off 7 straight wins. - 4 on the road - 3 at home - 3 in blowouts (3-0 over Winnipeg, 5-2 over Minnesota, and 7-0 over Buffalo) - 4 in close games (2-1 over Ottawa, 4-2 over Montreal, 2-1 over...

    Pats 2023 Offseason

    BB would have given him nothing in that case either, JM3. It's just how it goes. Personally, I see reasons to be very pessimistic about the 2023 season, but also reasons to be optimistic. Kind of like the Red Sox, it feels like a huge wild card.

    What does 2023 look like?

    Anyone besides me really unhappy with how Houck has performed this spring? He's been terrible. I hope it's just "working on stuff" rather than "omg he stinks".

    Where would the Pats get the cap space they'd need to sign Lamar?

    Well, we have some of the best ice cream you'll ever try. So we've got that going for us.

    NCAA Basketball Final Four Game Thread

    Yeah I don't know that it needs to be adjusted. I was just pointing out that it wouldn't be hard for the NCAA tourney people to alter the tournament so that once you reach the final four, the teams are matched up according to their seeding instead of some pre-arranged deal like we have now...

    NCAA Basketball Final Four Game Thread

    Right. I mean, UConn-Miami is probably the best matchup of the remaining possible games, and probably should be the championship game. But for UConn to win it, say, they have to beat Miami and one of the other teams anyway, so what difference does the order make? Lots of times the conference...

    What does 2023 look like?

    Projected opening day lineup: Alex Vedugo, RF Rafael Devers, 3B Justin Turner, DH Masataka Yoshida, LF Adam Duvall, CF Triston Casas, 1B Christian Arroyo, 2B Reese McGuire, C Kiké Hernández, SS So to me, that lineup looks like it has the potential to be awful or really good. The case for...

    What does 2023 look like?

    Just a friendly reminder that the Boston Red Sox begin their 2023 baseball season in.... (checks the calendar and my watch)....3 days, 2 hours, and 15 minutes. LFG!!!!

    NCAA Basketball Final Four Game Thread

    It would be very easy to have the regional champions be regional champions, and then have the Final Four simply be the four regional champions arranged by seed. If you have two #1s, the NCAA tournament committee will have already decided how they are ranked - as in, they had an overall #1 seed...

    Pats 2023 Offseason

    Past results are not necessarily indicative of future performance. But yeah this is BB’s way of saying, you know, I’ve got a pretty good track record of being good at this.

    2023 NCAA Womens basketball tournament

    Shes putting up better numbers than Taurasi, but this is what Taurasi would have been doing if she didn’t also play with several other all Americans.

    NCAA Basketball Tourney March Madness Regional Finals Saturday March 25 and Sunday March 26 Game Thread

    Miami will do some things to keep them close for a half, but they have no way to contend with Sanogo and Clingan. Those guys will get rolling in the paint (unless they get in major foul trouble) and that will free up Hawkins and Joey California for threes and UConn will end up winning by double...
