B’s Back on Track – Thanks Tyler

A bottle of blue Gatorade and some Advil on the nightstand was all it took, as the B’s quickly cured their Cup hangover and are again thirsty for victory. The young Tyler Seguin has stepped up his play immensely this season, leading the team in both overall points and goals while claiming the NHL’s first Star of the Week today. Last season he ended the year with 11 goals and 11 assists. Not bad for a Rookie who also contributed to bringing home Lord Stanley’s most prized possession. This year, only 15 games in, he has already racked up 11 goals and 9 assists for 20 points, 1 figure more than his age. Begs the question: What am I doing with my life?

P-A-T-S…PATS, PATS, PATS!

Tonight the Patriots capped off a solid weekend for Boston sports fans. The Bruins continued their much needed hot streak, and the Pat’s refused to lose their third straight to take their rightful position atop the AFC East. For the first time all season both sides of the ball came out firing, shutting up Rex Ryan and the overrated J-E-T-S. If we play out the season this way, we won’t be stopped. On a side note, it’s always good to see Eli fail miserably. Anyways, great overall Sunday of football.

Celtics Game Day – Mock Season

After starting the weekend off right Friday night against the Clippers, the C’s went to visit the Cav’s for the second time in this early season. The boys looked a bit sluggish in the first half, most likely from the overnight travel and back to back games. Either way they manned up in the second and pulled through for the routine win.

Papel-Bon Voyage

So just like that Papelbon’s off to the Phillies. Personally, I don’t like this move at all. Sure he hasn’t been as dominant as he has been in previous years, but come on! He wasn’t involved in the infamous chicken and beer scandal of the century; he was just posted up in the bullpen waiting to do his thing. It just so happened that come September we didn’t enter the 9th with a lead so he couldn’t get out there. I think it’s a mistake to get rid of him. And to the Phillies nonetheless? I mean they’ve been alright the past few years but we don’t need to help them get any better. Questionable move at best. Sox have to come up with something big before April…we’re going to need it.

The NBA Lockout: A matter that aggravates just about everyone who enjoys basketball. I’ve been trying to avoid talking about the lockout because in hindsight, nothing has been going on. It’s been an endless cycle of scheduling meetings, “hope” from inside sources, meetings running 15+ hours for three days straight, even more “hope”, then it all blows up within hours and sides are even further apart, repeat. Now I could go into the details about the BRI and the entire CBA discussions but there’s no use. The owners have already won this lockout in a landslide victory. Now they’re just rubbing it in. Chris Mannix (@ChrisMannixSI) of SI.com dives into the details in his article, “Owners to Blame if Season’s Lost”. And on a side note, the second to last paragraph is on point! If a deal isn’t made today, you can kiss the season goodbye.

Celtics Game Day – Mock Season

Celts are set to take on the Charlotte Bobcats at home tonight in what should be a good old fashion beat down. The struggling Cats haven’t seen victory yet in the young 2011-12 season while the red hot Celts are coming off a big W on the road, advancing to 3-0. Unless Charlotte pulls a rabbit out of the hat or suits MJ up for the game, I see this game being pretty much one-sided in favor of the hometown squad.

Sunday Woes

I’ve been putting off commenting on Sunday’s game vs. the Giants. It’s not that we lost that I’m aggravated. Although below our expectations, the Pats are still sitting atop the AFC East alongside the Jets and the Bills. It’s not that Brady threw three picks or that Stephen Gostkowski missed a field goal from 4 feet away. It’s the fact that we added to the ever growing ego of “Mr. Close Your Eyes Toss the Ball”. I despise Peyton Manning along with most Bostonians, but we can admit he’s a premier quarterback. I despise Eli Manning along with most Bostonians because he thinks he can fall in the same category as his brother and Brady (and because of some other minor event that occurred which I will chose not to bring up). Regardless, we need to step our game up. The first half was clearly a defensive battle, with the Pats showing signs of life on that side of the ball for the first time all season. Then finally once the offense decided to come around, the defense backed off yet again. It’s only a matter of time before Belichick pulls them together though. Pats vs. Packers in the bowl. In Bill We Trust.
