STILLERS: STILL LOSERS How would the Patriots be able to stop the best power run game in the NFL as well as the NFL's hottest new celebrity player? How would they score on the best defense in the NFL. This is how: With their "terrible towels" waving, Pittsburgh got the ball with an awkward kick from Vinaterri that resulted in only a 1 yard return and nearly gave the Patriots coverage team a

MVP: MAKE VACATION PLANS Perhaps the best sign ever. I'd love to get a picture of it but Yahoo doesn't have one and I steal all my pictures from them typically. The game started as a defensive struggle. The Colts went 3 and out on their first drive with 2 mediocre runs by James and a 2 yard pass by Manning. The Pats got a first down on their first play from scrimmage as Brady hit Branch for 15.

PATRIOTS TO PLAY COLTS AGAIN These teams just can't get enough of each other. They played in Week 1 (seemingly ages ago), in last year's AFC Championshio, in Week 13 last year, and back in 2001 these two teams were division opponents. The Colts were wins #8, 14, and 16 in the Patriots record winning streak. However, that was then and this is now. Manning's playoff record is less than stunning.

BC STUNS UCONN IN HARTFORD I was wrong about two things in my last post. OU did not beat USC and the BC/UConn game was in Hartford, not Storrs. Anyway, Boston College was 11-0 coming into this game but they still hadn't demonstrated any major amount of ability. All but two of their games had been at home, and only one of those road games was outside of Massachusetts. They hadn't played a good

PATRIOTS WIN SCRIMMAGE VS. 49ERS I went to this game. It was my first Patriots game ever and the first time I have ever been inside Gillette. I gotta say that it is a beautiful facility. The concourses are wide open with plenty of space for milling around. You can also see the field from the concourse in the upper deck. Although the seats may seem far away, you can see most everyhting from the

BYE BYE JETS Chad Pennington sucks. Tom Brady is the man. Yes, he sucked last week but he rebounded like he did after the Denver game in '01, or the Buffalo game in '03. Tedy Bruschi had the first big play of the game when he intercepted a Chad Pennington pass and returned it for 36 yards giving the offense great field position. Bruschi doesn't get too many picks but when he does, it is

SOX SIGN VARITEK Okay, I'm glad we kept Tek, and i'm even happier we named him captain even though the title isn't what is important, how he acts is what counts. I do think $10M a year is a bit much for a catcher in his early 30s. I'm glad the deal is only 4 years but nevertheless, he'll be 37 when the deal ends. I guess an eventual move to first isn't completely out of the question. ANOTHER

BRADY LEADS TEAM TO DEFEAT For the third time in his career as a New England Patriots, Tom Brady had a terrible game and is the most repsonsible for the Patriots losing. The first was in 2001 against Denver. The last was last season against Buffalo. It happens some times. Alot of other players contributed to this loss though. Rodney Harrison had an absolutely idiotic pass interferance call on a

PATS BEAT BENGALS I forgot to mention the Patriots 12th win of the season. The loss of Pedro really affected my thought process. I didn't see the game because Ithaca sucks. I was pretty sure we'd win though. Cincinatti is not that good on the road and Gillette is a fortress. Some might say the game was too close but marign of victory isn't important when you're 12-1. The Man of the Game is David

A DARK DAY IN THE LIFE OF A PEDROPHILE It could be worse. Alot worse. Pedro could be wearing midnight blue pinstripes instead of regular blue. He could be on a team we face 20+ times a year instead of one we play only a few times every several years. We could have been bogged down by a hefty contract with a player who could very well blow his shoulder out on any pitch. THE MEMORIES One thing

THEO'S WORKING Probably because the Yankees are close to signing Pavano, the Red Sox have signed David Wells to a short term deal that may be one year for $8M or it may be two years for substantially more. This is a good short term deal as Peter Gammons pointed out because of the inevitable availability of Milwaukee's Ben Sheets during the 2005 season. Theo also appears to be close to signing

I WANT A REPLAY OF GAME 7 No, I don't wanna see Game 7 of the 2003 LCS, I want the game to be replayed. The Yankees won with the help of the steroid taking Jason Giambi. I want that game to be stricken from the records and the game to be played again. I want Giambi kicked out of baseball. I want Bonds to be kicked out of baseball. I want an asterik to be put next to Bonds's records. I want

BC HAS DESTINY IN ITS OWN HANDS, CRUSHES IT All the #19 Eagles had to do was beat Syracuse. The team that lost to Purdue 51-0, allowed 31 points against Rutgers, and lost to Temple. Even though BC quarterback Paul Peterson was out, BC was still favored at home. It was supposed to be a celebration of Boston College's first ever Big East football title and a berth to a BCS bid. Now BC will be lucky

FENWAY UPGRADES Story Basically, an upgrade of the drainage system, more than doubling the amount of clubhouse space, widening the thin concourse underneath 1st base. 2005 SCHEDULE I wonder if the MLB people simply get schedules randomly through a computer or if they throw in a few games on purpose. No wait, I don't wonder. The Sox begin their 2005 title defense (God that sounds amazing) against

PATS WIN THEIR FIRST EVER IN ARROWHEAD It's hard to beleive that the Patriots have never won a game in Kansas City since 1964, and had never won at Arrowhead. What a great way to start my birthday. The Patriots came out with a blast. The offense seemingly knew that with a depleted defensive secondary going against the best passing offense in the league, they'd need to score early and often.

THIS PICTURE IS AWSOME: The Story in the Globe KAPLER GOING TO JAPAN Red Sox utility man Gabe Kapler has reportedly signed a one year $2M+ deal with the Yomiuri Giants in Japan. This isn't too shocking. He should get a good amount of playing time in Japan which is what his agent said he wanted in the Globe's story (read it here) .

I MISS THE NHL I know its for the good of the League but I really miss watching hockey every other night. I miss allowed fighting, fast European skaters, enforcers, goalies standing on their heads and sharpshooters scoring amazing goals. The incident in the NBA the other night made me miss hockey more. It reminded me so much of Terry O'Reilly. I also miss athletes who don't ask for 2 months off

BC ONE WIN AWAY FROM FIRST BIG EAST TITLE A win against Cuse gives Boston College a 5-1 conference record and with the head-to-head tiebreaker over WVU, Boston College would win the Big East and receive an automatic bid to a BCS Bowl.

WHERE THE FREE AGENTS STAND OK in my last post I said I wouldn't talk about the free agents but I'm on Thanksgiving Break, its 2 o'clock, and I'm bored. PEDRO TO SELL HIS SOUL? Pedro was offered a 2 year deal by the Red Sox for somewhere around $24M. That's a decent yearly salary but Pedro wants more long term security. Pedro's agent met with Yankee brass down in Tampa and the way ESPN, Yahoo,

PATS LOSE TO STEELERS, REBOUND WITH DOMINANCE I would like everyone at ESPN, Fox Sports, et cetera to keep at least one foot off the Pittsburgh bandwagon. Remember these key facts: 1. Bellicheck's defenses are always better the more times he sees a QB 2. Corey Dillon did not play 3. Tyrone Poole did not play 4. CBs Ty Law and Randall Gay missed plays due to injury 5. Deion Branch did not play 6.

INJURED PATS BEAT BY STEELERS With no Dillon and subsequently no running game, no corner backs, and 2 receivers out, I'm not shocked we lost to a Steelers team that came off a bye week, was at home, and has bene energized by Ben Rothelsberger. Bellicheck usually fairs better against QBs the more times he plays them so this being Rothel's 1st game against the Pats and going against CBs Samuel and

WHAT A PARADE! I didn't go to sleep Friday night and drove to the Quincy/Adams T stop at 4:30 AM. The 1st train was supposed to stop by at 5:18 or so. There were already alot of people there and me and my friend had to stand on the subway. We got to Park St. station in the Commons at about quarter of 6 and there were already a good number of people there. The numbers steadily grew with each train

THE NATION REACTS From Obey Pedro: Boston needs to remove the Jimmy Fund sign from the Green Monster and paint "2004 World Champions" across it in the largest font possible with all of the players on the 40-man roster listed below it. I never believed in curses and neither did most of you. But after witnessing the first championship in 86 years, it made me realize how wonderful the new Boston

THEY WON EIGHT IN A ROW AND WON THE WORLD SERIES Amazing. A few years back Danny from Quincy called WEEI and promised the Sox would win 8 in a row and get right back into the race for the AL East. No 8 game win streak has ever been bigger. Let's look over Game 4. Johnny Damon led off the game against fastball pitcher Jason Marquis. Damon took a 2-1 fastball and drove it into the right field

GAME TWO After three of the four "Teammates" threw out the firist pitch. Game 2 began. Curt Schilling took the mound for the first time since his epic Game 6 performance in the ALCS. Renteria started the game with a groundout. Larry Walker, who was one of the few Cardinals to hit the ball well in Game 1, flew out. Pujols, who had been helt hitless the night before, doubled deep to center. Rolen

WHOSE YOUR BRADY? 21! BLACK JACK! Brady was 20/29 with 230 yards, a TD, and 0 INT. Vinaterri kicked a pair of field goals and an extra point. Pennington had a short TD run. Patten caught Brady's TD pass after a Jets roughing the passer penalty gave the Pats an automatic 1st and goal with mere seconds left in the 1st half. The TD would be the last scoring of the game as the defenses battled in

IN DEPTH GAME 1 SUMMARY These two teams have much less connections as the Sox and Yanks did but I have a feeling the storyline of this series will be just as interesting as the last one. After the player introductions and Steven Tyler's rendition of the national anthem, Tim Wakefield took the mound for the first time in the World Series. His first inning was marred only by a Larry Walker double

SOX STEAL ONE FROM CARDS Too close. Too close. This team is gonna end up killing me. It would have been nice if Wake could have thrown strikes and pitched at least 6 innings or so. Keeping the bullpen fresh might come in handy tomorrow. We don't know what Schilling will have. Morriss is a nasty pitcher sometimes. Tomorrow is nowhere near a sure win. Oh yeah, to anyone who said that Reese should

GAME 1 TONIGHT Williams vs. Wakefield. Mirabelli starting at catcher in his first postseason game of 2004. Wakefield in his first ever World Series. Will his knuckle ball baffle the Cardinals and can the Sox get to Williams. Hopefully any celebrations won't be marred by idiots trying to climb the Green Monster or start fights.

WELL-SCRIPTED PART IV History seemed to be repeating itself. Another Game 7 in the Bronx. The Yankees tried inducing the so-called ghosts of the Stadium by having Bucky F. Dent throw out the first pitch. Further adding to superstitious New Englanders fears was that Game 7 would be played on #7 Mickey Mantle's birthday. The Red Sox were depending on the man who, in his mind, had been screwed by

WELL SCRIPTED PART III The Red Sox had accomplished the improbable. They beat Rivera and the Y*nkees two games in a row and brought the series back to New York. The series was 3-2 in favor of New York, the same scenario that existed last year after 5 games. The Red Sox, however, needed what seemed like a miracle in order to survive. Curt Schilling was written off by man after his game 1

WELL SCRIPTED PART II The Red Sox were down 3-0 to the Y*nkees. No team in baseball history had ever come from 3-0 down in a best of 7 playoff series to even force a 7th game, let alone win the series. The Red Sox had sent Derek Lowe to the bullpen at the outset of the postseason and now he would get the ball in what may have been the Red Sox last game of the season and his last Red Sox game. He

OH MY FREAKIN' GOD! D-LOWE! THERE'S ONLY ONE D-LOWE! THERE'S ONLY ONE D-LOWE! THERE'S ONLY ONE D-LOWE! This guy came up huge for us. He pitched 6 innings of 1 hit, 1 run ball. He only walked one.

The only run he allowed resulted from Cairo getting "hit"

LOWE VS. BROWN All I can say is I'm nervous. Last night I was nervous. So nervous I couldn't stand up in the 9th inning becuase my legs were shaking so bad. When we were down 3-1 I did what a good poker player is supposed to do, I tried to figre out the odds. At that point I figured Pedro was a 5/7 to win. Schilling was 4/7 because his ankle was an unkown variable. Game 7 would have to be a 1/2

SCHILLING'S SOX ARE BLOOD RED Originally the plan was to have Schilling wear a high-topped cleet with a 3 inch extension to keep his ankle where it should be. They did a procedure and the stitches in his ankle were aggravated by the high top so he went without him. By the 7th, his socks were half-covered in blood. He literally bled for this team. He did not care about any career repercussions. He

CRUSHER CRUSHES THE SCUM TWO NIGHTS IN A ROW Actually, it was the same day. Early Monday morning and about 22 hours later. The task in front of the Red Sox still remains daunting. Two games in the Bronx. Two absolutely gigantic games. The first of which could be a pitching mismatch either way. Schilling vs. Lieber. If Schilling is healthy, it will be tough for New York. If he's hurt and Lieber

TWO DIFFICULT GAMES Ugh. These games were closer than they appear. We didn't execute in key situations and the Y*nkees did. Here are some things that we need to reverse in order to win the series: 1. Johnny Damon needs to do something. In the LDS he got on base every other time he came to the plate. He struck out only twice and stole 3 bases. In the LCS, he is 0 for 8 with 5 Ks. He is the

RED SOX AND Y*NKEES ONCE AGAIN LCS COMBATANTS So what is different this year? Pitching. We have improved ours with the acquisition of Schilling and the way Arroyo is pitching. We have also improved our bullpen with the addition of closer Keith Foulke who got some huge outs against Anaheim. Meanwhile, the Y*nkees pitching is not what it was last year. There is no Andy Pettitte, a pitcher who

SWEEP, SWEEP, SWEEP, MUTHAFUCKA. SWEEP, SWEEP, SWEEP, GODDAM! How did we win? Timely hitting, taking advantage of opportunities, running, pitching, pitching, and pitching. Three sensational starts compared to a set of dismal outings from the Angels. My MVP for the series is Manny Ramirez. He was 5 for 13 with 3 Runs, 7 RBI, 2 2B, and a HR. He represented 28% of the Red Sox total RBIs. WHO HAD A

WHY WE LOST ON FRIDAY 1. Pedro Martinez should not have pitched the 8th inning. His pitch count was up there and the Y*nkees have a way of getting to Pedro late in games. I think that Tito is too worried about aggravating his starters and not worried enough about winning games. 2. Timlin should not have pitched the 9th. The only reason he got out of the 8th was because of a wild pitch and a

THE 2004 ALL OVERRATED TEAM It's football season which means the sound of John Madden slurping up Brett Favre's residue echos from Green Bay to Milwaukee and a number of other players get touted for no good reason. I decided to make a team of these overrated players. The first position is quarterback and there are so many candidates for this position it isn't funny. There's Chad Pennington who

PATS STREAK HITS 17 The New England Patriots started the 2004 season right where they left off in the Super Bowl. Close but convincing victories. The Patriots also purchased the remaining 10% of the Colts and finalized their deal for the ownership of Peyton Manning. The defense wasn't all that impressive particularly against the run. I think it will take time for Wilfork to adjust to being an NFL

SWEEP, SWEEP, SWEEP, MOTHAFUCKA! We own Chokeland! 23-7! I think the most remarkable thing about this Red Sox team is its depth and its 3 dimensionality. We have pitching, offense, and defense. Just look at this depth chart: C: Varitek, Mirabelli, Sandy Martinez 1B: Ortiz, Millar, Mientkiewicz, Bellhorn, McCarty, Kapler 2B: Bellhorn, Reese, Mueller, Gutierrez, McCarty 3B: Mueller, Youkilis,

CLASS Everyone always talks about how classy and professional the Y*nkees are especially compared to the seemingly playful antics of the Red Sox. Just a few questions that I have NEVER heard raised in the national or New York sports media: Where was A-Rod's class when our #5 pitcher hit him? Bronson has hit a number of batters this year and none of them seemed intentional. He's a young pitcher

WHY I DIDNT UPDATE Well first of all, I have acces to 2 computers at my house. My computer and the family computer. The family computer got fucked (pretty much by me) up with spyware and adware and I could use AIM but IExplorer didn't work at all. By the way, if you're looking for anti-Spyware software, I recommend SpyHunter if you're willing to pay $30. The first time it scanned my computer, it

SOX EARN SPLIT WITH O'S Thank God. We need to win every game this weekend. Man of the Game for Game 1 is Melvin Mora. He went 3 for 4 with a pair of HRs and a double. He also wlaked, had 4 RBI and scored three times. He aboslutely kills us. He has something like 8 HRs against us this year. Man of the Game for Game 2 is Tim Wakefield who went 7 scoreless. There was some question as to whether or

BLOW THIS TEAM UP! I'm writing this in preulde to the sweep the Orioles will inevitably carry out today and tonight in the doubleheader. This team needs to be blown up. We need to trade Nomar ASAP and get some prospects. We can get some AA guys for Lowe or a bullpen guy and I wouldn't mind trading Nixon. With Shoppach coming up and the ebst backup C in baseball, we shouldn't resign Varitek

PATRIOTS TRAINING CAMP ABOUT TO OPEN Isn't it nice in New England that we have one team that we can watch without puking in our collective mouths? Isn't it nice knowing that if the game is close, someone is going to step up and make a play? Whether its Brady throwing a 14 yard pass on 3rd and 13 or Bethel Johnson returning a kick for a TD or Deion Branch scrambling and getting those extra yards,

SOX RETURN FROM 3-3 ROAD TRIP Not a terrible road trip and we've all seen worse west coast swings. However, we really should have swept Seattle, one of the worst teams in baseball. This team has done just enough to stay in the race but not enough to give them some security or get them back in the divisional race. This homestand will be huge cuz they have a 12 game, 4 city road trip against teams

PITCHERS BETTER THAN cl*m*ns Remember, his name doesn't deserve vowels or capitalization. Anyway, the All-Star Game buildup on Fox and r*ger's solid performance this year has caused alot of sports pundits to throw that term around that they like to throw. "Best ever."

MARINERS LOWER THE BOONE Good God! Boston Red Sox baseball, ladies and gentleman! Why have the Red Sox not won a World Series in 86 years and the Y*nkees have won 26 in 86 years? In the late innings, the Y*nkees make the defensive plays and the good pitches and make the clutch hits, we make the crappy plays, the shitty pitches and have guys thrown out on second on sacrifice bunts.

ARSENAL FC BEGIN 04/05 SEASON WITH A BOOM After being the first team to win England's top soccer league by going undefeated since the 1800s, Arsenal FC was bound to crush Barnet FC, a Conference team.

SOX LEAVE ANAHEIM WITH A SPLIT Not a terrible weekend. The Red Sox are 7-3 in their last 10 games which is pretty good. However, I think we need to sweep Seattle and end the road trip over .500. This team has won at Fenway all year and if we can just go over .550 on the road, we'll be fine.

COMEBACK FALLS SHORT Cleveland Indians 6 Boston Red Sox 4 W: Cliff Lee (4-0) L: Tim Wakefield (2-2) Ugh. Three errors. The Red Sox are the worst defending team in baseball. Millar and Ortiz aren't exactly John Olerud-esque over at first, Bellhorn has poor range, Mueller's arm verges on erattic, Reese has 5 errors, Manny is Manny, Damon has no arm and reduced range, and the right fielder,

I figured that with a full spring training, and being matched up mostly against #3 starters, he'd be able to win at least 16 and up to 22 games. However, he's .500 and his ERA is over 5.

FLAWLESS VICTORY KC Royals 1 Boston RS 9 W: Kurt Schilling (4-2) L: Jimmy Gobble (1-1) The bats came alive and Schilling was near perfect. Reese became the first Red Sox player to hit an inside the park homerun and an outside the park homerun in the same game since Tony Armas did it in Tiger Stadium in 1983. He is also the first to do it in back to back at-bats since Yaz did it many years ago.

SOX SWEPT IN ARLINGTON There's nothing more annoying then watching the Sox offense flounder while Joe "John Madden" Morgan babbles nonsensically and Vin Scully says EVERYTHING with the same sequence of emphasis. Here was my favorite Morgan quote after a high knuckleball was absolutely killed into the upper deck but 20 feet foul: "The low knuckleball is better to hit then the one that's down."

It's a shame the scoreless streak had to end but the sellout streak and the bullpen scoreless streaks are running strong. Kim had a solid start going 5 and giving up only one hit and one walk.

RED SOX ARE RAINED OUT LAST NIGHT AT FENWAY PARK IN NEW YORK WEEI joke. Hehe. The game has been rescheduled as a day night doubleheader on Thursday. Here's what confuses me though. They're skipping Wakefield's turn in the rotation and Kim is making his first start of the year in Thursday's day game. Why? i don't fucking know!

The Sox belted Contreras forcing him out of the game in the 4th. Millar, Manny, Mueller, and Mark all had a homerun. Burks and Reese stole 2 bases off Contreras who is

Last series one of our aces lost a game and we won the series. Maybe it'll happen again. The Man of the Game is Chris Gomez. He went 2 for 4 with a grand slam, 5 RBI and 2 runs scored. All his RBI came with

MIRABELLI BEATS JAYS Doug Mirabelli 3+1 Toronto Blue Jays 2 W: Tim Wakefield (2-0) L: Ted Lilly (0-2) S: Keith Foulke (5) H: Lefty Embree (3) We gotta see if we can get Mirabelli in the lineup more. He's batting .556. Wakefield di well and the pen pitched 2.1 perfect innings. Beating Toronto is very important. We have to make these solid border line teams like Toronto and Baltimore feel like

PATRIOTS DAY WIN FOR SOX NY Y*nkees 4 Boston RS 5 W: Mike "Still Timid" Timlin (1-1) L: Tom "Flash in the Pan" Gordon (0-1) S: Keith Foulke (4) Great win for the Sox. Arroyo pitched adequately giving up 4 in over 6 innings. The bullpen kept the Y*nkees at 4 runs and allowed the Sox to tie the game up and eventually take the lead. The Sox chipped away at a 3 run lead by scoring a run in the 5th,

SOX DROP ONE TO THE SCUM NY Y*nkees 7 Boston RS 3 W: Paul Quantrill (1-0) L: D-Lowe (1-1) Tough loss for the Sox. I figured we'd win today because the pitching matchup favored us with D-Lowe goign against Jose "Not Worth It" Contreras. Well, Lowe went 2.2 IP and allowed 7 runs off 8 hits and 4 walks. Truly a terrible start for Lowe. On the positive side, Manny continues to crush the ball and the

PEDRO AND ARROYO BLOW Baltimore Orioles 12 Boston Blow Sox 7 W: Buddy Groom (1-0) L: Bronson "Not Rolando" Arroyo (0-1) Somehow the Sox used 9 pitchers. Really dissapointing performances by Pedro and Arroyo. The Man of the Game is BJ Ryan. He pitched 2 perfect innings and struck out 3.

BASES ON BALLS What's killing you? Bases on balls. The ball is the equivalent of the called strike. The umpire deems it to be outside the strike zone. Four balls make a walk. The purpose of this is to force the pitcher to throw pitches the batter has a reaosnable chance of hitting thus moving the game along. Walks hurt. They run up pitch counts and put runners on base. They also move runners

Really great win for the Bruins. If we can beat Montreal in a small number of games, we'll be very well off for the Cup run.

MILLAR OK, MUSSINA SUCKS After colliding with Johnny "The Missing Link" Damon, Kevin "Moose" Millar is fine. Story Manny also had a bruised left quad and was pulled in the 8th. Millar will probably play tomorrow, Manny's status is unkown. The last thing we need is Manny to be out of the lineup. Mike Mussina really sucks. He got his second straight loss to the Tampa Bay Double A's. He's given

We should be scoring more runs than this. Schilling pitched very well even though he gave up a good number of hits in 6 innings. The 3 perfect innings of relief

MORE REACTION FROM SUNDAY'S LOSS Tim from Musings from RSN had this to say, sarcastically of course: With a 7-2 win over the Boston Red Sox and their staff ace Pedro Martinez, the Baltimore Orioles and new coach Lee Mazilli took a commanding 1/2 game lead over the Yankees, Blue Jays, and Devil Rays in a hotly contested American League East with the Red Sox dropping back to last place, a full

SOX LOSE TO O'S IN FIRST GAME Boston Red Sox 2 Baltimore Orioles 7 W: Sir Sidney Ponson (1-0) L: Pedro "God" Martinez (0-1) S: BJ Ryan (1) H: Rodrigo Lopez (1) All I can say is that the offense needs to get on track if we're gonna win this year. We need Millar, Mueller, Tek, Ortiz, and Damon to do near what they did last year especially with Trot and Nomar out and Reese replacing Walker. The Sox

SOX WIN THE COVETED MAYOR'S CUP Schilling threw 60 pitches in 4 innings. Uncharacteristically for Curt, Varitek called every pitch. Story The Sox now go to Turner Field to play the Braves Friday and Saturday night. The first game is Sunday at 8 on ESPN. BRUINS TIE CAPS 3-3 So that's one point. The Bs take on New Jersey Saturday and sunday and then the playoffs begin. MY FANTASY TEAMS Team 1:

NOMAR ON THE DL Story That's not good news. We got Reese and Bellhorn though. Maybe we can play Kapler at third and move Mueller to second. Potential lineups: 1 CF Damon 2 2B Mueller 3 LF Ramirez 4 1B Ortiz 5 DH Burks 6 RF Millar 7 3B Kapler 8 C Varitek 9 SS Reese Not a bad lineup considering two starters are out.

BRUINS BEAT CANES 3-2 If the Bruins take 4 of the next 6 available points, they'll clinch 2nd in the Eastern Conference. As it is, they need Tampa to drop at least one available point and get all of their own available points. They take on the Caps tonight.

BASEBALL IS BACK Good game between a great team and a shite team. The scum lost to the Double A's 8-3. Mussina did not look too sharp at the end of his outing giving up a homerun, and then 3 consecutive doubles in the 6th inning. This was probably because it was the first game of the season and spring Training isn't even over for the Y*nkees. Paul Quantrill releived him and looked good until

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
