Your Morning Dump...where we may have seen the last of Alfredo Aceves
Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here... highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. The Red Sox announced following Wednesday’s 6-5 victory over the A’s that they have optioned right-hander Alfredo Aceves t...

So if I come up with one out and a man on second and strike out but the guy hitting behind me drives in the guy on second, do I get a LOB?

Recap: Farrell, Sox take Game 1

What does the "LOB" stand for in the individual batting stats? It's not "left on base" since the number is 33 for the Sox and the max you can possibly leave on base in 9 innings is 27.

Manny Ramirez goes deep for first time in Taiwan
I heard about this on Mut and Merloni on WEEI and, of course, had to drop everything to watch it. Manny Ramirez, who is playing baseball in Taiwan, and ready to audition for the next Alien vs. Predator movie, went deep for the first time this season. That may be the best homerun call I have e...

Your Morning Dump...where the buzz is back
Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here... highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. The Red Sox opened the 2013 season in a big way with an 8-2 victory against the Yankees yesterday. But, something stood out ...
It was a little frustrating to see Rondo completely unguarded behind the arc standing there looking for a 3 point shooter when we were down late in the game. It's sad that I have more confidence in his 3 point shot than he has.

Video: Rajon Rondo... defiant to the bitter end
Some people might not like this, but I loved it. After Doc Rivers had an emotional ending to his press conference, Rajon Rondo came in and was defiant and angry. Make no mistake, he was just as emotional as Doc was, but it manifested itself in this icy death glare when he was asked if ...
THANK YOU Reds Army for another great season of the best blog in hoops.

Ladies and Gentlemen, We stand here tonight in our green and white gear... perhaps reading on a cell phone at a bar... on a tablet at some Starbucks, or on a computer at home... as a fan-base hoping for history. We stand here tonight, as a diverse group of young and old... black and wh...

A. Try and find the owner

The refs are finally getting fed up with Chalmers' holding, shoving and flopping. They probably saw it on replay at halftime and that got him the deserved tech for shoving Peaches after a celtic's basket in the 4th.

The Basketball Gods smite Miami with block-to-3-pointer comeuppance
This play was all kinds of amazing in a very short time: The block by Wade on the Bass dunk attempt? Nasty? Rondo recognizing in the span of less than two seconds, that Mickael Pietrus is in the corner and then slapping it to him while getting fouled (how big was THAT no-call??) was ridiculo...

Celtics win the craziest F'ing playoff game I've ever seen, 1 win from returning to Finals
Do you know what just happened? Does anyone? I'll repeat what I said on Twitter earlier during the game. I've never seen a team so close in a basketball game but teeter so close to total collapse like the Celtics did all night. They had a million chances to fold, and it looked like they'd t...

Recap: Rondo saves Celtics from epic collapse
There are two guarantees with the Celtics. They'll play tough and gritty. And nothing ever comes easy. We witnessed both in tonight's 101-91 victory in Game 3. Rajon Rondo scored 8 of his 21 points in the 4th quarter as the Heat slowly whittled away a 24-point deficit. Knowing the Heat are goin...

Got an issue with the refs? Do something about it
We’ve all had problems in our lives. We either accept them, complain about them, which accomplishes nothing, or we hit them head on and resolve them. That’s the decision Celtics fans, for that matter all NBA fans, face when it comes to the quality of officiating in what’s marketed as the world’...

Is Kevin Garnett planning a "proud, strong exit?"
NBA.com's Steve Aschburner has a speculative column on Kevin Garnett's future in which he cites a "friend of Garnett" who thinks the Celtics star is planning on retiring after the season: Back to Boston? To another NBA team? Or home to stay, where he can glare at the kids who stray onto his la...
I've been saying for years, all he has to do is be a legitimate THREAT from the outside. On the positive side, that game changes everything. I predict a solid 10-15 point victory at the garden on Friday.

A few words about Rondo's night
I don't want to get into any "I told you so" disguised as flowery prose with Rajon Rondo. I don't want to get into fights about his consistency or how he should play on any given night. Right now I just want to appreciate for a minute the amazing performance by Rondo last night. For 5...

Foolproof plans to ensure a Celtics victory
The Celtics need to win tonight. Falling behind 2-0 to the Heat could be a death sentence. Better defensive rebounding and foul shooting would be nice, a consistent 48 minutes from Rajon Rondo, and someone other than Kevin Garnett as a scoring option would go a long way to giving the C’s a reali...

My favorite day of the year is the day Lebron's season again ends with a loss and he is one year closer to retiring without a ring.

There are certain things you just don't do. And laughing in KG's face is one of them. Maybe LeBron feels like he can get away with it. The Celtics obviously need KG, so he can't do anything there that could get him tossed or suspended. The referees were obviously quick with the tech...
With Avery, that game is a nailbiter at worst, Ray needs to shut it down and come back next season with us. Sasha would do better right now.

I'm not going to lie to you folks. I think Miami is going to win this series. When you look at this objectively, the Celtics are just too banged up. Without Avery Bradley, their best scoring option off the bench (Ray Allen) is now starting. Their only other option is Mickael Pietrus, who ...

I searched around and could not find whatever he was talking about. Considering the Reds Army recap was written immediately after the game, one possibility is that CSN plagiarized your account and then took it down.

Recap: Rajon Rondo takes over down the stretch, Celtics advance
It looked like a killer moment for the Celtics. Paul Pierce had committed his 6th foul with 4:16 left in a 3 point game. The tide appeared to be turning. This was truly a game changing moment. Except... It changed the game in the Celtics favor.... because Rajon Rondo went absolutely effing ...
