I got out of work at 6:15 tonight and then got on my bike and headed down Boylston Street  to check out the new Apple Store. Then, I saw the wicked long line and thought maybe I will check it out some other time. You can see pictures of the line which went around the corner, across Newbury Street all the way to Comm Aveafter the jump by clicking the more button.

There were many positives for the Celtics tonight. Number one being they one. They also played great defense in the second half and Rondo and Garnett had good offensive nights. That being said, they where way to sloppy down the stretch. Too many times they made idiotic passes that resulted in easy steals and baskets for the Cavs. If this was on the road, plays like that would have doomed the Celtics. ...<< MORE >>

When I was in Elementary School, I used to get cassette tapes from the Library and then make copies of them. (I got both of Naughty By Nature’s albums that way) Then years passed, and I stopped looking at the Library as a way to get music. Recently though, I’ve come to realize getting C.D. from the Library is a great way to free music without worrying about downloading a virus or getting sued by the RIAA. Recently, I have uploaded a couple of Beatles Albums, Black Flag’s Damaged, Blink 182’s Greatest Hits, The White Stripes Elephunt, John ...

            Paul you have the second best career scoring average in Celtics history. You led the Celtics this year in points per game. In short, you are a great scorer. Now act like one. Kevin Garnett is a great defensive player, but he is not a guy who can take over a game offensively; you can. Ray Allen has lost a step and can not either. Too often in this playoffs you have seemed timid while taking shots and just hoping to get fouled as opposed to trying to make the shot whether a guy was going to foul you or ...<< MORE >>

Bob Dylan’s song Lily Rosemary, and The Jack of Heartsis my second favorite story telling song of all time after Jay Z’s Meet The Parents. Much has been debated and discussed about Dylan’s songs’ complicated plot, but I believe the characters in the song could be partially based on Emily Bronte’s novel Wuthering Heights. Lets look at the main character first.

Bronte’s Heathcliff =Dylan’s Jack Of Hearts

In Wuthering Heights, Heathcliff is a mysterious character. He appears on the scene without ever getting any real knowledge of his past. Throughout the story he is the ...

^{On Sunday morning the Celtics and their fan base woke up to the prospect of being ousted in game 7 by the 8th seeded Hawks. In addition, the Pistons where clicking on all cylinders and they looked like the team to beat in the Eastern Conference. Flash forward to tonight, and the Celtics have a 2-0 lead over the Cavs and look every much like the dominant defense that they where in the regular season. Some will say the Celtics still need they can prove that they can win on the road but right now all the ...}

The whole game I was waiting for it. Lebron had been held in check the entire night and I was waiting for him to have a burst we he scored on 4 straight possessions or something like that. In never happened; part of the reason was  Lebron was just off, but most of the credit has to go to Posey, Pierce, and the Celtics defense which stayed in front of him and played him physical the entire night. The Celtics offense was off, but KG stepped up big tonight with 28 points. I hope Rondo who has a lot more ...<< MORE >>

There are a lot of interesting match up this series. Delonte West vs. Rondo which is something that
I am sure happened in a lot of practices in the past. Szczerbiak and his repaired ankles vs. Ray Allen and his repaired ankles. That being said, it is all about Lebron. I hope Pierce makes Lebron waste energy on defense and then the Celtics put Posey in a lot to help cover Lebron. Down low, KG and KP need to get more rebounds then the combo of Ben Wallace and Zydrunas Ilgauskas. In the end, the Cavs will win ...

No one thought the Celtics vs. Hawks series would go 7. So the question is now was the series foreshadowing flaws of the Celtics that will cause them to lose or where their loses just an anomaly and a byproduct of being rusty. The series did show off the Celtics weaknesses; Doc Rivers is an unproven coach in the playoffs who makes questionable decisions, the team does look kinda old sometimes and thus was vulnerable to the young and athletic Hawks, KG and Pierce seem like neither wants to be "the man" which a team usually needs in the playoffs, ...<< MORE >>

Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon is on the mound. He winds up and throws a 98mph fastball by the batter. Strike 3 and the Red Sox win. The next sound you are likely to hear at Fenway Park aside from the crowd cheering is the first guitar lick of the classic song by the Standells "Dirty Water" with its familiar refrain "I love that dirty water, Boston you’re my home." The dirty water in referenced in the song is of course The Charles River.

Both the house I grew up in and my current home are less then a ...

That was a sad display tonight. The Celtics fucked up in so many different ways. They got out-hustled for rebounds. They came out of time outs and either Doc Rivers called idiotic plays or the players decided to run idiotic plays like that rushed 3 Ray Allen took (and missed) with under a minute to go. Perkins, Powe, and Posey are the only 3 Celtics who did their job tonight. Garnett for all his intensity is pissing me off right now. In the 4th quarter when Pierce was out he should have took the game over and take shots from ...<< MORE >>

Before I get to the positives from tonights game, 2 quick negatives. One, I did not like how the Celtics had a sloppy 5 minutes in the third quarter to let the Hawks stay in the game. Stuff like that when you are on the road against a young team can let their crowd get in it and allow the Hawks to gain confidence. Two, our home crowd was pretty crappy tonight. I think over 15 years of the Celtics being not very good has made our home crowd forget how to root for the favorite as opposed to the underdog ...<< MORE >>

I went to the Sox game tonight. I had pretty good seats at the State Street Pavilion Box (section 9) on the first base side. (pictures at the end of the post) It was a national league or old school style game tonight. Both Lester and Halladay did a good job of throwing strikes; that combined with a pretty cold night and the wind blowing in made for base runners being few and far between. The game flew by and for a while it looked like it might head into extra innings after Pedroia made a great run saving stop ...<< MORE >>
