    Happy Maye Day

    I guess I could see a circumstance in which Washington was agnostic as between Daniels and Maye, and so they wanted to put out some misinformation about maybe considering MHJ to scare Arizona into wanting to move up from 4 and giving up something to do it. This assumes Arizona really wants...

    Anxiety is Good for You

    So the Red Sox are falling into a somewhat predictable pattern. They mostly beat the bad teams and they mostly lose to the good teams. With all the injuries and stuff, the truth is that it could be a whole lot worse. If it can stay that way all summer, I'd take it.

    Anxiety is Good for You

    Yeah, it's fun when it happens. Especially like when you got those bunts for a double back when there were crazy shifts. But it seems like maybe it works two or three times a year tops even for teams that do it.

    Anxiety is Good for You

    I would put a premium on a team of guys that can't bunt because it removes the temptation to do it.

    2024 NFL Draft 1st round gamethread: Maye the odds be ever in your favor WITH SPOILERS

    I'm not sure whether this is a spoiler or not, so I'm going to post it here. I've seen what happens when you get on Sherm's bad side and I don't want any part of that. Anyway, I'll be stopping to get fish tacos for the draft on my way home tonight. Just thought I should say something...

    Put Your Exasperated Guy Takes Here

    I think the focus here tends to be on what the Celtics do wrong instead of what the Heat do right. It was the same way last year, even though they had beaten two teams pretty handily in the first two rounds. Should the Celtics handle them pretty easily? Of course. But it's just freaking...

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    Is there a way for NFL teams to trade a player but retain some of the contract? I thought that was a baseball thing. I could be wrong but I thought in football you have to restructure and then trade. Not sure why I think that. I probably made it up.

    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    There is an angle that I saw on Eck’s roundup that makes it look like embellishment. I hadn’t seen this angle on tv. The video will annoy you because it is Leaf-centric but the play is around 3:50. View: https://youtu.be/fITu9FaCzPw?si=481XYRnO2zt_camo

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    Just looking at Jones’ contract, it is mostly base. He did not get a very large bonus. So he comes with a $36 million cap hit. That makes it a non-starter.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    What if JJM were to go 4 or 5 though?

    Happy Maye Day

    Looks like fan duel has taken down its line for pick 2. Not a ton of mystery at this point.

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    Everyone was making threes last night, but the constant over the last nine playoff games against these guys seems to be Caleb Fucking Martin. 27-55 overall and 19-33 in the 5 wins. (He was 5-15 against the Celtics in the regular year.)

    2024 NFL Draft 1st round gamethread: Maye the odds be ever in your favor WITH SPOILERS

    I like seeing it unfold on tv too, don’t get me wrong. But even when people say “we are trading down” before Roger says there is a trade, it doesn’t seem that spoilerish to me. In fact, usually the way you find out about trades is that the logo of the team on the clock just silently changes...

    Isn’t the “spoiler” going to come when Washington picks anyway?

    April 24. 2024 Beat the Heat

    Yeah, that's true, but the Heat's great shooting is masking what I thought was the bigger problem. The Celtics just were out of ideas on offense all second half and were getting intimidated and pushed around. They scored 40 in the second half. They needed to hang with the Heat by matching...

    woot! That was almost 3-2 the other way.

    April 24. 2024 Beat the Heat

    Heat were just better all night. Played harder. Defended harder. Were more physical. Celtics thought they could just show up. Other than that 1:30 period at the end of the first half, the Heat just dominated the game. I can't even fucking believe it's possible. But of course it is...

    I think they've actually had a better winning percentage without him. I think I read that today.
