I guess they felt that Wash. needed to use all that confettit and shit, not save it for next season. Bizarre seeing a celebration like that when they didn’t win the series.
I’m not even at a Coach Betard level when it comes to evaluating replays, but when DC ran the trap at the end, there were two Celts stuck in the same corner, neither one anticipated what might happen and got themselves in position to help out. And the other person close to IT was Smart… and the more I see him out there the more I see him as a weak link.

Did I ever tell the housekeeper story from the coworker of mine who liked to call that poor Woonsocket bastard a rubber?
No. We’re all ears.
So I need a housekeeper to clean my apartment, I ask people at work if they know a housekeeper they can recommend, Paul does, he’s highly recommending one and even offers to call to set up the appointment. Paul doesn’t do shit for anyone, unless it’s dumping a bottle of Drakkar Noir in their unlocked K-car, so I don’t know why I didn’t suspect anything, I’d say it’s because we’re friends and I’m 22, but Paul reserved the best shit for his friends so it’s no excuse.
So the next Saturday the housekeeper shows up, I tell her what needs cleaning, tell her I have errands to run and just to lock the door behind her. I head off to a full day of Bed Bath and Beyond, maybe Home Depot (drinking in town and watching the Red Sox on tv).
Get home that night and she did a good job, it’s not immaculate but she did her best for a house of 4 early 20 year olds. She drank 4 fingers of Capt Morgan, but didn’t touch any valuables.
Following Monday at work – Paul’s “Kid how’s the housekeepah” Yeah she did a pretty good job, “Yeah she does”, we were meeting up so I told her I had stuff to do so I took off but she only got into the rum hahah, “Oh yeah you had stuff to do”, Paul, you went out with us what the fuck are you talking about, “what on Saturday kid?”, yeah what other Saturday we just went out, “Oh shit”, (light dawns on Marble Head) what did you do Paul, “she vacuums nude and then beats you off on her tits, whats wrong with you she’s not a maid”
I know I told that before, I mean I’m pretty sure, but the Paul stories exist in an alternate universe for those who were subjected to his presence, like one of those comic books where they’re like “hey this isn’t the real comic book world, we’re pretending Batman is fighting Spiderman it’s not ‘real'”
that stupid f’n asshole, his big thing was asking if we’re going out for lunch so he could buy a gallon of milk, because if he was entertaining a lady he’d put a gallon of milk on his nightstand to drink during the night
That’s some Luca Brasi shit right there.
That’s a shame for the Penguins.
Pittsburgh can all go frak themselves if you ask me.
Dammit the rubbah was from warwick not woonsocket
“Whoa, hah; that means Marty, you, er, you messed up the setup. Its like the time I urghk, I asked the ah, not-cleaning lady if she’d do ah, anything for 150 bucks, and she answered, ‘I won’t paint your house, buddy!’ (pause) No, that’s not how that one, oh…goes…(trails off)Nothing will be saved. All will be lost. And our new onion-headed sad emoticon is unable to convey the depth of that loss. -10/22/25 (sic) Daily Thread
Hey, I don’t read the Globe, but since today is Mother’s Day, is there a Bob Hohler hit piece in there about Tom Brady’s mother? I would expect one about how she gave her kids cane sugar, or something.
Mine showed up too wet to read. Grrr.
I did struggle through some of the Nick stuff. His first or second paragraph quotes JP Ricciardi. He also thinks Bobby V was right in Aviles-gate.
Apparently Liverpool is going to win the Champions league.
Edit: correction. They’ll qualify for Champions League as the last seed from EPL.

Intern-researched litany of Boston Game 7 heroes from Heinsohn to Bird … Isiah Thomas quote about “where legends are made” … more filler: stats that everyone already knows (Home team has won every home game … complete waste of space: a couple of hundred words of neener-neener blather about Celtics’ wearing black outerwear… close with a clever turn of phrase/80s culture reference, the signature move of Shaughnessy’s: the Celtics were the “Men In Black.”
Nick “Waiting on the Telephone” Cafardo (Baseball page)
Quote from J.P. Riccardi … Mookie Betts thinks candlepin bowling is more difficult than 10-pin … Nick’s Rule Change (deactivating the starting pitchers who likely wouldn’t pitch that day before every game and replacing them on roster with position players. Tongue-baths for past and (hopefully) sources, including Ruben Amaro Jr. and Dana LeVangie. BURYING THE LEAD: Nick’s spirited defense of binky Bobby Valentine after David Ortiz. Surprise! Nick has the exact same take on it as Bobby V. SHAME on Mike Aviles and David Ortiz. Despite Bobby Valentine’s devotion and unparalleled insight, theSox finished LAST! They have no one to blame but themselves.

Pot roast and a Cadillac? That’s Howzie’s music
The pot roast was a whim. It’s cold and raining, seems appropriate. Been home for 4 days with the flu and strep, need a decent meal.

“You won, George, you won!” “Did I? Yes … yes, I suppose I did.”
On the whole, SP suffers somewhat in comparison to Tinker, Tailor. Still, a great series. One of the best things about SP was that it employed two of my favorite weird Brit character actors, Hammer Films veteran Michael Gough (Mikhel) and the creepy Vladek Sheybal (Leipzig), plus Curd Jurgens and Michael Lonsdale, another kind of creepy guy. The interrogation of Lonsdale’s Girgoriev is one of my all-time favorites.
Slightly disconcerting that they had to recast Peter Guillam when Michael Jayston (who played him in Tinker, Tailor) had a conflict. And why did they have Esterhase change his accent (to a more Hungarian-sounding one)?
“Bobby Ryan” scored the game-winning goal in OT for Ottawa last night. Somehow I had never heard his story before. LINK.
-
Bobby Ryan was born Robert Stevenson in 1987 and grew up with the name
-
But in 1997 his father, Bob, beat his mother so badly she ended up in hospital
-
Despite his mother forgiving her husband and refusing to help police, authorities moved to charge him so the family fled to California with a fake surname
-
In 2000 the ruse came crashing down when Bob was found and jailed
-
But Ryan felt comfortable with his new identity and decided to keep it

Pomeranz left the Red Sox game today with an arm injury. Dombrowski has pretty shitty luck, because that’s the fourth out of six high-profile pitchers he acquired who have come down with sore arms/shoulders, etc. Kimbrel and Sale had better not emulate Brady and tempt fate.
Even if Espinosa ends up flaming out in Double-A, I can’t understand why the Red Sox didn’t back out of that trade when Preller’s shenanigans were discovered last summer.
So, it’s settled now. Sunday Night Baseball has the Yankees; Monday Night Baseball boasts the Mets. The national game schedule in lockstep with NYC “look at me” moguls of various sorts? Naaah. Just coincidence.
If the Cubs have an intra-squad game, it will be on ESPN.
Can’t wait to hear Sam Kennedy’s state of the nation address on why today’s game was not sold out.

Popovich had something to say after the game about the commander in chief:
“It’s dangerous to our institutions, and what we all stand for and what we expect the country to be. But for this individual, he’s in a game show. And everything that happens begins and ends with him. Not our people or our country; every time he talks about those things, it’s just a ruse. That’s just disingenuous, cynical and fake.”

Farrells said something to the effect that “he might be able to make his next start”. Usually with the Sox that means he’ll be out two months at least.

I hope this doesn’t put MacGruber 2 in jeopardy
