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’s Bleu et Blanc et Rouge . . . All Over?
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?
Week Log: Tiger Looking Good In Green?
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?
Week Log: Play Ball!
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!
Bill Reynolds Takes Us Back To ’78
I took the news of Bill Reynolds' new book, ’78: The Boston Red Sox, A Historic Game, And A Divided City (New York: New American Library, 2009, 320 pages, $24.95), with a heavy dose of ambivalence. After all, this was one of the most exciting seasons ever played and it’s maintained a Greek tragedy hold … Continue reading Bill Reynolds Takes Us Back To ’78

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.

Selection Sunday Has Spoken
It's a busy Monday after a busy weekend, with both the B's and C's splitting two, but the big talk today will be a dissection of the NCAA Tournament as pools around the country open for business. Let's see what the experts say. Jerry Spar is cutting out all the top-seed and which-bubble-got-screwed? debate, as … Continue reading Selection Sunday Has Spoken
Late To Bed, Early To Rise Thanks To Big East
Glad to have you back this morning. The sports world was closed for only a few short hours last night after that classic Big East tourney game at Madison Square Garden ending at 1:22 this morning. I know we're a pro sports town, but I have to lead with some college hoops today. NCAA Basketball … Continue reading Late To Bed, Early To Rise Thanks To Big East
Week Log: Oh, That Sinking Feeling Follows Me
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
