Justin Masterson — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 20:10:21 +0000

What a trip we have had the last 9 days. We started in Washington D.C, went down to Atlanta and then finished our time off in Baltimore. Why we did not just play the first and last series one after the other, I do not know. I guess we needed a little breather or a [...]

Gary Tanguay — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 15:53:51 +0000

I spoke with Bill Stickland, the agent for Rasheed Wallace moments ago . He told me… Danny Ainge wanted to show up on Rasheed’s doorstep Wed. Night at midnight…which is when the free agent signing period began. Wallace told Danny that was not necessary so team green flew out Thursday instead. Danny, Coach Doc Rivers, managing partner [...]

Let’s get right into it… On Wednesday afternoon, the Boston Business Journal announced that David Ortiz has purchased the Metro 9 Steakhouse in Framingham, and will change the name to Big Papi’s. One of the highlights of the menu will be a special Dominican single malt scotch. It’s only aged 32 years, but you’ll [...]

Hyperbole, Thy Name is Moneyball: A Revisit Six years Later

Kevin Henkin — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 03:04:23 +0000

When I first read Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game six years ago, I remember wondering repeatedly how all those young players highlighted in the book would turn out. At the time, of course, those players were all still mere prospects working their way up through the minors. Readers were therefore left to [...]

Big Baby Update

Gary Tanguay — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 02:34:20 +0000

I was told earlier by a source close to the Davis camp that the Spurs, Pistons, Grizzlies and Knicks were interested in restricted free agent Glen Davis. Since Zach Randolph has signed with Memphis it would seem they would no longer be in the Big Baby sweepstakes.

Baby is a Wanted Man

Gary Tanguay — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 21:50:43 +0000

I was told by a source close to the situation that Celtic restricted free agent Glen Davis is wanted by at least four other teams. Those teams are the Pistons, Memphis, New York and San Antonio. I was also told that Joe Dumars wants him bad. It is no wonder considering Baby hung 20 points in [...]

Boston Power Rankings: Inaugural Collector’s Edition

Chief Web Kahuna — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 19:09:10 +0000

It seems like everyone and their grandmother does some variation of these Power Ranking lists. Well our grandmother hit it big on a scratch ticket and doesn’t need the money anymore…so she let us take over. We’re doing it with a twist, though. This list isn’t about a particular sport. It’s about Boston. It’s about New [...]
