It won’t be a series; it’s going to be a spectacle. Last night, the Celtics beat then Pistons and will move on to face the Los Angeles Lakers. It will be the C’s first time at the finals since 1987; the Celtics faced off against the Lakers and came up short in the series 4 - 2. The two teams have met 11 times in the finals; the Celtics lead that with 8 wins. As tough as a competitor Detroit was, they brought the......

All right, guys. You've done this 77 times this year, in every corner of the country, against everyone that's come to the other side of the court.

And with the Celtics' bench almost completely useless, they had to turn to the Big Five (Rondo and Perk get elevated for today; more in a minute), who played......
Let's start with the good news. Manny Ramirez finally broke out of his home run slump, and cracked career shot #499, a three-run shot off Seattle's Miguel Batista. Um, that's about it. The bad news is that Seattle won, 4-3, on a Jose Lopez single off Mike Timlin in the ninth. Julio Lugo got tossed for arguing a check swing, and Terry Francona was dismissed early when he came out to challenge it. "'Bout time," as Harry Doyle would say. But the most troubling news is that Daisuke Matsuzaka left......
