    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (2) New York Knicks vs (7) Philadelphia 76ers - The Danse Macabre

    42-5 difference in bench scoring in a close game with each team scoring in the 110s has to be some kind of record as well.

    2024 Lineup (What we actually have - no trade speculation.)

    I assume he's a short timer (pun intended) given Grissom's supposed to be in the lineup tonight.

    2024 Lineup (What we actually have - no trade speculation.)

    Having him starting at first today was quite surprising given they brought in not one, but TWO first basemen! Reminded me of George Costanza quitting/getting fired and showing up for work the next day like nothing had happened.

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    When it got up over 30 after 3 minutes of the second half, that was it. They weren't going to get it down to a reasonable number a second time (15-19 range) and still have something left in the tank to make a closing run. Plus, if they kept doing what they did in the first half, a bunch of...

    BC Hoops 2023-2024

    Distant relative of a former BC basketball coach; I'm sure his family is pulling for him to make that move.

    Well, they won't be. That one's going to Friday for sure.

    Global Basketball Odds and Ends

    I remember Coach K calling Dave Blatt (Framingham/Princeton/Israel/Euro League coach/Cavs coach; no Russian heritage) a commie when he coached the Russian Olympic team in 2012. Not sure he was joking.

    Joe Mazzulla officially named head coach

    I thought that the game was still there to be taken - Miami cooled off, Celts had the last possession of Q3, the first possession of Q4 and the next 3 possessions before scoring. When Miami started getting some hoops again, the game should have been dead even; or the Celts should have been ahead.

    Casas has a left rib fracture. Transferred to the 60 Day IL on 4/27.

    ...and he keeps ending up batting in the middle of the order. I guess someone has to given the terrible options at this point.

    Well, you were half right!

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    But wasn't that fourth quarter stretch triggered by turnovers (which overall wasn't that much of a problem last night) and #4 hitting a ton of threes (the passive defense on which seemed to carry over to last night)? And I don't dwell on the ending of Game 1; some of us recall that the Memorial...

    The Pantheon of Boston announcers: Who you got?

    Down homey phrases for sure, but he was pretty frank with his assessments of what was going on with the team, especially in the years Haywood Sullivan was dismantling it. The White Sox version of The Hawk would not have been well received in Boston.

    The Pantheon of Boston announcers: Who you got?

    The Ken Harrelson who did color for the Red Sox was pretty good and even better if you compare him to the Ken Harrelson who had, in name only, the same job for the White Sox.

    That or his grandfather told him bedtime stories about the Cocoanut Grove fire.

    2024 Lineup (What we actually have - no trade speculation.)

    1. Regardless of who the error was charged to, that's a very shitty throw. A MLB outfielder grabbing a ball at that depth in the outfield is supposed to be able to hit a cutoff man standing more than 60 feet away from home plate. It's short and not straight. Yes, Casas probably should be...

    If you were a ballplayer...

    My glove won 6 or 7 games my senior year in high school. We had a kid pitcher who had a terrible glove (his family didn't have much money and what they did have went towards a real nice catcher's mitt, where he was supposed to play when not pitching), so he used mine. I was the statistician...
