naked truth

No is the answer if you think this post is about Britney Spears posing nude for a magazine while she is pregnant. This is the naked truth about the Boston Red Sox’s defense. When Theo Epstien traded the Nomar Garciaparra during the championship winning season of 2004, it was more due to Nomah’s defensive liability [...]

bittersweet

I am not sure whether you caught it on Sportscenter – the return of Pedro to Fenway Park. Pedro is to Boston what Tendulkar is to Bombay. Pedro won Cy Youngs in Boston. Pedro won the world series in Boston and Pero kicked some serious ass in Boston. Even on a day when he did [...]

zero marks…

Easy pickings

Who wouldn't want to make a "A" in a class? Someone here thinks that there are ways to get a A other than studying. How I wish this were true because there were days during college when I had six roomies .

Miami. Uh Uh Uh… Miami

The party is already hitting high gear in South Beach. Miami Heat have won the NBA championship for the first time ever.  Even though you will hear numerous post match interviews where people would say it was a team effort but I beg to differ.
