After suffering innumerable shoulder separations all season, including three during the playoffs, Bradley underwent season-ending surgery on his left shoulder on Friday. According to this [...]

By ⋅ May 25, 2012 ⋅ 2 comments

1. Celtics: * Hate to say it but Doug Collins is out-coaching Doc Rivers * Would you trade Rajon Rondo and Michael Pietrus for Steve Nash, Marcin Gortat and Jared Dudley? * You need Moore or Dooling to get knocked out and tell them they are Gary Payton when they wake up * Take away [...]

Philly Writer Calls Boston Sports Fans “Bigoted” and “Racist”

By ⋅ May 23, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Are Boston sports fans racist? Bigoted? Why are we asking this question again? Well, take a moment (that’s all it will take) to read Philly.com sportswriter John Mitchell’s 243-word (wow!) masterpiece of a “column” titled “KG: ‘fair-weathered’ beats bigoted any day.” West Philadelphia born and raised, as the writer so eloquently describes in his biography, Mitchell [...]

Connelly’s Top Ten: Beckett For Mayor (Kidding – Trade Him!)

By ⋅ May 21, 2012 ⋅ 4 comments

1. Red Sox: * Josh Beckett should be an option to pinch hit * See the sign held by a fan behind the Red Sox dugout that read “Fried Chicken”? * Phillies pitcher Qualls should be fined for walking Nick Punto, who is hitting .135 * Alfredo Aceves is an insane specimen – waste like [...]

Aviles, Saltalamacchia Homer in Red Sox Rubber-Match Win

By ⋅ May 20, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

In a typical start by Philadelphia ace Cliff Lee, teams that manage two runs count themselves lucky. The Boston Red Sox scored five against the dominating lefty Sunday afternoon, and they didn’t waste them. Mike Aviles and Jarrod Saltalamacchia both homered for the second straight day, and Josh Beckett held the Phillies to one run [...]

Red Sox Launch 4 Home Runs, Top Phillies 7-5

By ⋅ May 20, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

After watching Jonathan Papelbon close out the Red Sox on Friday and do his signature poses in the process, there’s no way the Sox could let that happen again on Saturday. So, the offense took over, clubbing four home runs to back Jon Lester, who despite a shaky outing, managed to earn the win in [...]

By ⋅ May 19, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

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 [...]

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 [...]
