Red Sox

Do you think Josh Beckett read what I wrote about him yesterday? I expressed some negativity toward him including my belief that he should have been traded or even released after last season. How did he respond? Eight fantastic innings pitched in yesterday's blow out Sox win in the home opener.

I should bitch about Clay Buchholtz today, huh?

Still, one awesome win does not a turn around make. They are still a stunning 2-5 on the season so far. Let's talk about a turn around when they are 10 games over .500.

The Red Sox play again this afternoon at 4:00. Who cares, the Bruins play at 3:00. Game one was a hell of a game, but needing more than thee periods to score one goal off of a third string goalie is worrisome to say the least. Defensively the Bruins were perfect on Thursday. Now today the offense has to show up and put this minor leaguer in his place, while still magically holding Alex Ovetchkin to one shot.

A couple of quick thoughts on a couple of other series. First, hey Marc Andre Fluery... WTF? Two losses, two blown leads, and what, 12 goals against? Or is it 13, I can't remember if it was 5-4 or 4-3 in game one, but what the hell, Penguins? They can't all be Fluery's fault. What, did you think just having Crosby and Malkin show up would give you the series? How about some freakin' defense? I HATE THE FLYERS!!!! You Penguin pukes have to beat them.

The second non-Bruins statement I would like to make is this:

Hell yeah, L.A. Kings! Keep up the good work! Two more wins and Canucks fans get to riot again. Go Kings!

More importantly though, GO BRUINS!
