Will the Bruins Trade Tim Thomas?

By ⋅ May 19, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

After a record-breaking 2010-2011 season in which he won the Conn Smythe and Vezina trophies, Tim Thomas was the goalie you wanted to have on your team. It didn’t matter if he faced seven shots or 70 shots; he would bring his A game night in and night out. His consistent play led the Bruins [...]

By ⋅ May 19, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Boston Celtics built a big lead Friday night in Philadelphia, then quit. The Philadelphia 76ers, on the other hand, never quit. And once they pulled back into the game, that sustained effort translated into unstoppable momentum, a 92-83 victory over the Celtics in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, and a 2-2 series [...]

The adventures of Daniel Bard as a starting pitcher for the Boston Red Sox in 2012 continues.

Can the Celtics Carry Momentum Into Game 4?

By ⋅ May 18, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

With a stunning 82-81 loss Monday night to the upstart eight-seed, the Boston Celtics found themselves knee-deep in questions. What happened to the Celtics’ advantage in big-game experience and late-game execution? Would Paul Pierce‘s knee injury kill the Celtics’ enough offense? And why was Brandon Bass shooting more than anyone on Boston’s roster, considering Kevin [...]

Adrian Gonzalez Home Run Guarantee Falls Short

By ⋅ May 18, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

“I’ll start hitting home runs,” Adrian Gonzalez said after Wednesday’s game. “I’ll hit a homer (Thursday).” So, now that Thursday’s game is in the books, how did he do? Well, upon hearing Gonzalez’s comments, David Price retweeted this to his 87,000+ followers: Moore should put one right between his numbers. @TBTimes_Rays: Gonzo guarantee: “I’ll homer [...]

Connelly’s Top Ten: What Can’t Larry Bird Do?

By ⋅ May 18, 2012 ⋅ 2 comments

1. Celtics: * The Celts need Brandon Bass to give them a percentage of what James Posey did * KG’s best four-game stretch in Celtic career * Paul Pierce was yelling like Maria Sharapova * Trade Rondo after the season * Have a funny feeling that Ryan Hollins was tough in class as a kid [...]

Nava-gating MLB: Do the Red Sox Need More Players like Daniel Nava?

By ⋅ May 17, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

When you have three outfielders on the disabled list and a team in last place, what do you do? Call up lifetime minor leaguer Daniel Nava, of course. The 29-year-old outfielder may be best known for hitting a grand slam on his first major league pitch back in 2010, but Nava is managing to contribute [...]

Pawtucket Red Sox Update, Week 6: Podsednik Makes Good First Impression

By ⋅ May 16, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Pawtucket Red Sox just keep on tearing through the International League. A 6-1 week against three different teams expanded the Sox’ lead in the IL North from one half to three games. Daisuke Matsuzaka made his second rehab start, but Boston manager Bobby Valentine was unimpressed and announced that Daisuke would be making two [...]

Is Game Over Imminent for Curt Schilling’s Video Game Company?

By ⋅ May 16, 2012 ⋅ One comment

Curt Schilling has many talents. Pitching in the playoffs, bleeding into socks, butting his nose into steroid hearings without cause – the list goes on and on (and on and on, given Schilling’s talent for ranting). But apparently one talent Schilling doesn’t have is making video games. Kate Bramson of the Providence Journal reported Tuesday [...]

By ⋅ May 15, 2012 ⋅ One comment

Many movie moments could symbolize Wes Welker‘s decision to sign his $9.5 million franchise tender Tuesday and return to the Patriots for the 2012-13 season. Perhaps the Hulk destroying enemy ships in The Avengers. Or Dean Portman showing up at halftime of the JV-Varsity game at the end of Mighty Ducks 3. Really, any clip [...]

After a rough first round, the second round is now underway. The 76ers are trying to continue their run in a dogfight against Boston, while the injuries continue to hit key players with Chris Bosh straining an abdominal muscle.

Josh Beckett Must Forgo Distractions (Like Golf), Pitch as Red Sox Ace

By ⋅ May 15, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

When it all comes down to it, Josh Beckett is a pitcher for the Boston Red Sox. He’s not supposed to collect attention off the field, he’s not supposed to create headline quotes, and he’s certainly not supposed to be golfing. He was acquired in the winter of 2005 to become the Red Sox ace [...]
