Green Day
All of this talk about the Boston Celtics setting an NBA record for wins in a season has me a little disoriented; seeing that they've only played six games, and Scot Pollard and Leon Howe are on their roster. Could Boston actually best the 1995-96 Bulls' NBA-best record of 72-10? It's ludicrously ea...
Kevin Garnett Doesn't Breathe, He Holds Air Hostage
• Just Seventy-Seven Games To Go. Hours after attending the funeral of his father, Doc Rivers watched his Celtics remain the NBA's only undefeated team with an impressive 112-101 win over the Nets. (Note: That final score is extremely misleading.) Da Big Green Three did they thang, with Paul Pierce ...

Can We Handle Another Undefeated Boston Team?
• Green Day. If there was ever any doubt that Kevin Garnett is the new sheriff in town, this video should help to clear that up. The clip is from the Celtics' win over the Wizards, I think, but kind of illustrates who is really in charge. And that's OK — I wish the NBA would go back to the concept o...
Get Your Disgusting Piece Of Red Sox Memorabilia Here
What, you might ask, is that little piece of biomatter next to that dime? We're kind of afraid to tell you....

Tickets Prices At Fenway Have Increased Somewhat
A reader, digging through some of their dad's old things, found a relic from the mid-80s that couldn't be more dated than if it showed a picture of Flock of Seagulls....
ESPN Announcers Have Different Netflix Queues
You Can Stuff Your Sorries In A Sack. Gilbert Arenas guaranteed victory, but the Celtics instead opened up a 37-point second quarter and won 103-83. Now I demand my money back. No, I didn't put up any money on this game, but I was talking about that Thai food that made me sick a few weeks ago. I wan...
Here We Go Again With The Damned Red Sox World Series Ball
Oh, you've got to be kidding ... are we going to have another stupid controversy about who has the baseball the Red Sox won the World Series with? Please, no....
A Look At Kevin Garnett
We're dangerously close to the start of the NBA season, with all its drama and months of madness. To us, part of the beauty of the NBA is that its focus, while ultimately on the team, falls on the individual. The plight of one player becomes an epic tale in the shadow of Jordan; who is the real alph...
Dice-K Spreads The Joy
Because it's tradition around these parts, here's your obligatory Vaguely Homoerotic And Uncomfortable Clubhouse Celebration Picture. It's Daisuke Matsuzaka, spreading his champagne love over an unnamed recipient. We're hoping it's Schilling....
Papelbon's Glove Has Yet To Come Down
• Feel It Again. And howzabout a little love for Terry Francona. I've happily lobbed hot coals at the guy's nuts for four seasons now, but I appreciate everything he's done to steer the ship and stick to the game plan. He's 8-0 in managing World Series games, has very likely seen DeMarlo Hale withou...
The Red Sox Could Start Getting Used To This
The World Series was mostly lacking drama this year, but by now, we should be awfully used to that. Since the outstanding 2002 World Series, we've had one series go six games, one go five and three sweeps. Not that Red Sox fans care anyway....
Your World Series Champion Boston Red Sox
The Rockies did the best they could to make a game, or a series, out of it, but it just wasn't happening: The Boston Red Sox were not to be denied. They have won their second World Series in four years, and their seventh overall. (That actually puts them fourth all time, behind the Yankees, Cardina...
Boston's Rookies Are Too Much For Colorado
Who needs Papi, Manny, and Beckett when you've got Dustin, Jacoby, and Matsuzaka? The trio of rookies set the tone for the Boston Red Sox in their Game 3 victory over the Colorado Rockies. Jacoby Ellsbury moved into the leadoff spot and he responded with four big hits. Fellow rookie Dustin Pedroia m...
