Once again, I thought I had seen everything until Baseball Prospectus released this hilarious gem recently. Apparently, posing for Playgirl was popular among major league baseball players in the 80′s.

Among those featured, none raised more eyebrows in the Boston area than Hall of Fame pitcher Dennis Eckerseley and Red Sox mainstay Jerry Remy.

The 80′s brought some great innovations in computer technology and a boom in the music industry. However, there were some concerning headlines in society such as the assassination of John Lennon, cocaine entering the United States and these photos that might make you cringe: Continue reading 1984 Classic: Dennis Eckersley and Jerry Remy Pose for Playgirl »

1. Bruins:

* Krug is skating like Bobby Orr – the between the legs and later the handling of the puck with skates was amazing skill
* Of the three young defensemen – Hamilton is third
* Boychuck and McQuiad can’t keep shooting the puck into Rangers shin pads
* Great Malacchi Crunch reference from Pierre
* Marchand being a pest energizes him
* You can’t score on a shot one on one anymore – there has to be a deflection or screen
* Top three Bruins that fall down: 1. Horton 2. Seguin 3. Gary Doak
* Bruins are 4 – 25 on the power play which amazingly is ahead of pace from the Stanley Cup year
* Good effort by Campbell to except the offer to fight Dorsett Continue reading Connelly’s Top Ten: Bruins Up 2-0 »

Indiana gritted out a victory over New York, and now gets to be the next team with the unenviable task of taking on Miami. (cbsnews.com)

The Conference Finals are now underway; it’s San Antonio vs Memphis and Miami vs Indiana. While Miami remains rested after cruising, Indiana was late in finishing off New York. San Antonio dispatched the upstart Warriors, while the Grizzlies manhandled the heavily favored Thunder.

In our panel, that extra rest for Miami, not to mention their Big Three, has kept them as the favorite, while Memphis’ win over a powerhouse contender has earned them respect as well.

As before, picking the winner of a series is worth two points, while picking how may games each series will last is worth one point.

So check below to find out how precisely how our panelists believe the next two series will go, and come back once the Finals are set for the results. Continue reading 2013 NBA Playoffs Expert Picks: Third Round »

Miami didn't let Chicago gain any headway after being upset in Game 1 and became one of the final four teams in five games. (universetoday.com)

The NBA is now down to its last four teams of the season. It’s now Miami vs Indiana and Memphis vs San Antonio. Memphis and Miami each cruised to five-game victories, while Indiana took their sweet time winning in six games and San Antonio also held off Golden State in six.

The lower seeded Pacers and Grizzlies were a bit of a surprise against the star-studded Knicks and Thunder respectively, but Miami and San Antonio’s victories kept our panelists close in the standings.

It’s still anyone’s game with two rounds left to go, so check below for the complete results so far, and check back later for the third round’s picks. Continue reading 2013 NBA Playoffs Expert Picks: Second Round Results »

1. Bruins:

* Are you kidding me NBC with that announcer – guy couldn’t work in a library

* Crowd was dead

* What did Lucic score on the Wonderlic – don’t let him touch the puck in his own end

* Did Pierre really call Seguin a sniper?

* Bruins set a record on icings

* Is Tim Thomas bumming or building a bunker?

* Rask has a nice job handling the puck

* Seguin poked checked – can not beat anyone one on one

* Is that Jagr or Milt Schmidt? Continue reading Connelly’s Top Ten: Bruins Keep Rolling »

Detroit did well to knock off Anaheim, but their arch rivals Chicago await. (http://angelinos.narod.ru/)

The second round of the NHL Playoffs is underway, and it should be fun. Chicago and Detroit face off for the last times in the same division. Boston and the Rangers face each other in the playoffs for the first time in 40 years. The Penguins face a Senators team that just won’t go away. Los Angeles finally hosts four games in a playoff series, but against a well-rested Sharks squad coming off a sweep as the road team.

All of it makes the series pretty difficult to choose, as just one of the series had a unanimous winner as predicted by our panel. No sweeps were predicted in this round, but predictions for how many games each series will last were also quite diverse.

As before, picking the winner of a series is worth two points, while picking how may games each series will last is worth one point.

That all opens the door for some big movement in the standings after the second round, so check below for the second round picks, and come back once the round is complete for all the results.
