Connelly’s Top Ten: Red Sox Crowned Championship Contenders

By on May 25, 2012 at 7:00am

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 Garnett and the game is over
* I agree with sentiment I heard on the radio – I’d rather the Celtics lose Game 7 if they can’t beat Miami (which they can’t) Continue reading Connelly’s Top Ten: Red Sox Crowned Championship Contenders »

Forgive the cliche, but it’s nearly game over for Curt Schilling’s video game company, 38 Studios.

The company laid off all of the employees on Thursday, one week after it was unable to make payroll. The company had nearly 400 workers.

38 Studios was founded six years ago in Maynard, Massachusetts, but later moved its headquarters to Rhode Island, where officials issued the company a $75 million loan guarantee in 2010. Continue reading Curt Schilling’s Video Game Company 38 Studios Lays Off All Employees »

That’s right football fans! Everyone’s favorite quarterback, Tom Brady, may be expecting a second baby with wife Gisele Bundchen, at least according to the Agora Sao Paulo newspaper in Brazil (follow the link if you understand Portuguese).

Sources told the paper that Gisele’s dress size has changed, leading many to expect that a baby bump is on the way.

Sure, file this one under the “I don’t care” department. That’s fine.

But, you may start caring if the baby is born during the NFL season. Continue reading Gisele Bundchen Pregnant? Tom Brady’s Wife May Be Expecting »

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 Twiggy / back like Hagler
* With Mike Aviles now on a pace for 32 HR and 107 RBI and more-than-sufficient range – I would trade him right now and bring up Jose Iglesias, who is now over .280
* Sox are now on pace to win 80 games
* David Ortiz looked more than adequate at first – might want to think about pushing Adrian Gonzalez to the outfield if production is lacking
* Absolute bomb by Salty Continue reading Connelly’s Top Ten: Beckett For Mayor (Kidding – Trade Him!) »

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

2. Red Sox:

* 3:16 for a regular nine-inning game
* Felix Dubront throwing like an ace
* Will Middlebrooks down to .259 Continue reading Connelly’s Top Ten: What Can’t Larry Bird Do? »

Now that Los Angeles has taken out the two best in the West, can they continue their roll against #3? (http://brogdencastle.files.wordpress.com)

Only four teams remain in the NHL playoffs. The Devils try to continue their run against another powerful divisional rival while the Kings and Coyotes each try to cap off a Cinderella run to the Stanley Cup Finals.

And here at SoB, it’s looking like it’ll be the Rangers and Kings meeting for the Cup. The Devils did get a vote as well, and the Rangers have been through two seven-game series, so there may be something too that too.

So be sure to check below for the complete set of picks, and check back one the Stanley Cup Finals are set for the results. Continue reading 2012 NHL Playoffs Expert Picks: 3rd Round »

The Lakers gutted out a tough win against the Nuggets, but the Thunder are well-rested. (http://upload.wikimedia.org)

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. Unfortunately for the Pacers, two of the Big Three are as healthy as ever.

As far as our selections go, things are looking quite similar to the first round. Once again, all our panelists are unanimous in selecting division winners for all but one series. Once more, the highest seeds are thought to cruise through relatively quickly, while the closer seeds are thought to have a more drawn out series.

So there you have it. Check below for the complete picks, and check back after Round 2 for the results. Continue reading 2012 NBA Playoffs Expert Picks: 2nd Round »
