With a full broadcast schedule last night, the one thing I didn't want my TV telling me was that the channel would be changed. It seemed the DVR was full-up, but not for the same reason that Brian Scalabrine's was. My wife was recording American Idol and I was doing the same with Lost. One … Continue reading DVRs Aren’t Keeping Pace With The Boston Sports Fan

Hey, we're Boston, the nation's most homeristic sports town. But even we can appreciate the drama that is unfolding nightly on the hardwood. For me, it's more engaging than an episode of Lost, even though I don't know what is happening with either. So, have we had enough of the Bulls? Are we ready to … Continue reading One For The Ages . . . Or One That Enrages?

What could be better than a spring afternoon that finds the grass greening, the birds singing, and the Habs golfing? It's almost as good as Yankee Elimination Day - especially given the manner in which the Bruins dispensed with them - but that's half a year away and this is now, so let's talk some … Continue reading What’s Bleu et Blanc et Rouge . . . All Over?

Golf aficionados may not be masters of their own domain this weekend as Tiger Woods takes on Augusta and the Masters, making his first Grand Slam appearance since his dramatic win in last June's U.S. Open. To the action, where Golf Week's The Masters Blog has Arnold Palmer bringing 16 clubs for his ceremonial opening … Continue reading Week Log: Tiger Looking Good In Green?

A crossover weekend ahead, as we turn the college basketball lights off and flip on the baseball overheads. We'll have more on the NCAAs in a bit, but MLB's Sunday start-up warrants a special baseball edition. BTW, it was particularly difficult rummaging around the backroads of the internet with all those April Fool's posts out … Continue reading Week Log: Play Ball!

The four top East seeds have advanced to TD Banknorth, where #4 Xavier takes on #1 Pittsburgh and #3 Villanova takes on #2 Duke in Sweet Sixteen action tonight. College Sports Blog has Xavier not wanting to be judged by its conference, and Villanova looking to spend more time in Boston as the Wildcats and … Continue reading Week Log: Big Dance Comes To Town

From diaper dandies during Midnight Madness, through a season of super, scintillating sensational slams and Maalox mashers, we've finally reached March Madness. By Sunday, we'll be down to the Sweet Sixteen, but the action just started a little earlier this afternoon so let's jump in, baby. College Sports Blog starts off with its take on … Continue reading Week Log: Season of the Alliterative

When the Dow is outperforming the Celtics and your broker's hottest tip is to short the Bruins, you know the Boston winter is a little long in the tooth. That's where we find ourselves today, as the B's and C's lose on consecutive nights, the second straight for each. The undermanned C's draw praise for … Continue reading Week Log: Oh, That Sinking Feeling Follows Me

Sorry about pulling a J.D. Drew on you last Thursday. While Bruce is away, the mice will play, and they seem to have chewed right through the lines. We're making up for it with some Monday blog links, although they'll be only slightly longer than a Joba Chamberlain start. Starting off with J.D., Heidi Watney … Continue reading Week Log: March Coming In Like . . . An Injury Bug

Ours is a battle-tested lot in Red Sox Nation. We've overcome two 0-2 deficits in best-of-five ALDS, another two 1-3 deficits in best-of-seven ALCS, and the granddaddy of all, the 0-3 comeback in 2004. So, we probably shouldn't get too hyped about dropping the opener of the best-of-five Mayor's Cup to the Ft. Myers-rival Twins, … Continue reading Week Log: Grapefruits Are Back In Season!
