Happy Cinco De Mayo! How ironic just yesterday in this blog I wrote about the lack of competitive balance in the North Atlantic Conference and just yesterday it was announced that Castleton University would be a member of the little East Conference starting with the 2018-2019 academic year. It’s a great move and the new […]
Yankee rookie Aaron Judge has been something! As of this writing he has 13 homers and they aren’t “cheapies” either. I really thought a player of his size would have some holes in his swing and it wouldn’t be too long before major league pitchers would find his weaknesses. So far they haven’t and quite frankly […]
What happened to Adam Jones of the Baltimore Orioles at Fenway Park on Monday night of course was disgusting. Boston for years has been trying to rid itself of the tag of being a racist city. I always tried to argue that it happens everywhere and it does, but it doesn’t solve anything. I also was one […]
Did research on that Red Sox comeback that I mentioned in my blog yesterday that I listened to on the radio in the early 60’s. I was fairly close, but not 100%. The games were on June 18th, 1961 and the Red Sox and Washington Senators actually had better records than I recalled. Sox were 31-30 and […]
Interesting weekend series between Cubs and Red Sox. It was April, but it did have that October feel. Some comeback by the Yankees on Friday night coming back from being down 9-1. Not having Zach Britton sure hurt the O’s in that series. I remember a Red Sox game in the early 60’s between the Red Sox […]
Maybe the Red Sox should’ve signed Edwin Encarnacion! Find it funny that Yankee fans always used to rag on Red Sox fans for being too excited about early season success. It seems to me they are doing it more than Sox fans ever have done. Let me repeat what Yankee fans have been saying for years “It’s […]
A certain sports radio talk show in Boston keeps saying the Celtics should have an asterisk if they beat Chicago in the first round playoff series because they didn’t turn the series around until the injury to Rajon Rondo. I agree that Rondo’s injury is a factor no doubt about it, but if your’re going to hand out asterisks […]
Why do the Dustin Pedroia comments the other day in Baltimore bother people so much? It was no big deal! As I said here yesterday it’s”Much Ado About Nothing!” Did Derek Jeter and Jeb Bush buy the Miami Marlins or not? The latest I’ve read from the AP is that commissioner Rob Manfred says multiple groups have […]
I don’t think Manny Machado did anything wrong on that slide into 2nd base on Saturday. Matt Barnes should never have thrown at Machado’s head. You just don’t do that. He says he didn’t do it on purpose. I don’t know if he’s telling the truth or not and either does anybody else. We […]
Both the Bruins and Celtics showed some guts over the weekend and the Celtics are still alive and the Bruins are dead. Losing in the playoffs especially in the first round is the same as not even making the playoffs as far as I’m concerned. Got to give Tukka Rask credit as he won the game […]
