Adrian Gonzalez is Ready to Play!

For years now, the Red Sox have wanted to get Adrian Gonzalez on their team.  They finally signed him this off-season, and today he is making his first appearance of the spring.  I can't wait to see what he can bring to the team, and I know I'm not alone.  He just seemed destined to be on the Sox, and he seems like a perfect fit.  Gonzalez is one of the best players that hasn't been talked about over the past few years because he was on a small-market team in San Diego.  He's so good that he could easily contend for MVP of the American League this season.

Red Sox Storylines

Spring Training is rolling along, and in a couple of weeks the regular season will be here.  Red Sox fans have a lot to look forward to this season, and this Spring Training has been a good introduction to what fans might see.  Daisuke Matsuzaka so far has been exactly what Red Sox fans have come to expect: unreliable and unimpressive.  I know that he has been "experimenting" with some new pitches, but having an ERA over 11 is not a good way to get ready for the season.  Luckily the Red Sox other starting pitchers have been exceptional.  Josh Beckett has looked good even after the scare when he got hit in the head while throwing in the outfield.  He has the tendency to be great every other year and this year should be one of those years.  Clay Buchholz  might be the most impressive Red Sox pitcher so far having nine innings pitched without giving up a run.  The way things look, the Red Sox might have a few pitchers in the Cy Young running.

Criminal Investigation for Zdeno Chara?!

I have waited a few days to write about this topic because I wanted to see how it would play out.  Earlier this week, the Bruins captain made headlines for a hit on Montreal Canadiens' Max Pacioretty. Chara's hit sent Pacioretty into a partition at center ice, causing a fractured vertebrae and a severe concussion.  The NHL held a conference call with Chara on Wednesday and later determined that no suspension is necessary since it seemed that the incident was not done on purpose.

NFL Labor Talks: I'm Sick of It

For months now, the NFL labor talks and talk about a lockout has dominated the sports world.  I understand that there is a lot of money on the table and that both the owners and the players want to split it up as fairly as possible, but in these difficult times for our country I don't like hearing millionaires and billionaires arguing about money.  Today, when the average American is worrying about how they can pay their bills, the NFL is making record profits and they can't agree on how to split it up.

I have an idea....

Dustin Pedroia Looks Like a "Moron"

Today the "Baseball Tonight" crew from ESPN was at the Red Sox Spring Training facility, and they had an interview with Terry Francona and Dustin Pedroia.  They talked about the upcoming season and Dustin's injury problems from last year, but the highlight of the interview was when Dustin revealed his new haircut.  He called it the "convertible haircut" because the "top is always down".  It looked funny, but when coach Terry Francona said that he looked like a moron I couldn't stop laughing.  Not only were they laughing about the haircut, but Dustin Pedroia was joking around with Carl Ravech telling him that he would beat him up.

Bruins are streaking!

Right now, the Boston Bruins have won 5 games in a row.  With the playoffs coming up, right now it the best time for them to click.  Last year, they really disappointed fans in the playoffs against Philadelphia, and I want to see what the chances are that they do that again.  Right now, they are only three wins shy of their total wins from last year, even though there are twenty games left on their schedule.  Last year, their point differential was +6 for the season, and as of right now it is +46, best in the Eastern Conference.  They are currently in third in the conference, only 7 points back from first place.
