SICK OF SPRING TRAINING
I haven't been doing recaps of ST games lately cuz I really don't care anymore. The real season starts sunday for the Sox and in a few hours is the MLB opener.

BRUINS BEAT HABS IN OT
Its great having Bergeron and Samsonov back. We have 4 games left. They're against Carolina, Washington, New Jersey, and New Jersey. We're 1st in the division, 2nd in the conference 4 points behind Tampa, 2 ahead of Toronto. We can finish in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th. These last few days should be interesting.

CELTICS BEAT NETS TWICE
Kidd didn't play. currently the green are 8th in the conference 0.5 games ahead of Cleveland. Cleveland has a game in hand. They host Portland and golden State. Then go on the road to Washington, Miami, New Orleans, and Atlanta. Then they host Miami and Atlanta. Frankly, I hope we miss the playoffs and get a good draft pick. We're gonna lose in the 1st round anyhow.

Maine/BC should be an intense game.

ARSENAL TIE MAN UNITED 1-1
Great match. Arsenal set the English record for longest unbeaten streak to begin a season at 30 games. These two teams are huge rivals. They played their first game today in 1895. They've played 187 total games. Man united has 73 wins, Arsenal has 72. The other 42 meetings were ties. MU has scored 276 goals against Arsenal and Arsenal has scored 275 against United. They're very close rivals. They play Saturday in the semi-final of the FA Cup. Arsenal then goes on to play Chelsea in the Champions' League a few days later. After that it is a relatively easy League schedule and hopefully some CL and FA Cup action thrown in. Here are Arsenal's records thus far:

English League: 22 wins, 8 draws, 0 losses
Champions' League: 5 wins, 2 draws, 2 losses
FA Cup: 4 wins, 0 draws, 0 losses
Carling Cup: 3 wins, 0 draws, 2 losses
Community Shield: Loss

TOTAL: 34 wins, 10 draws, 5 losses
Winning Pct: .694
Unbeaten Pct: .898

That's just insane.

The next post will include thoughts on the first game of the MLB season and my analysis of the Red Sox April games.
