The timing of Mike's comments about Singleton was comedy gold. Gorman wasn't wrong in what he said, but it's not an exaggeration at all when BigMck says it was "seconds before Pierce went off."

Enemy Chatter: Paul Pierce lit up Chris Singleton
I often wonder what opposing teams, their beat reporters and bloggers are saying about the Celtics after playing the Celtics. Here's a dose of 'enemy chatter' from Washington. Paul Pierce just lit up Chris Singleton in the second quarter, teaching the rookie some veteran lessons. On one play, ...
Ah, very nice. Raptors Republic keeping it very classy with the stroke comments.
And for all the talk of him going senile (I've said it myself and I can see why others would), several times a game he'll drop a nugget that makes you go: Damn, this guy really knows his stuff. He's a HOFer for a reason and he's still competent enough to pick up on little things that I won't even notice myself on occasion.
And plus, dude has been a Celtic for over 50 years! I'd probably be super biased towards them, too.

Enemy Chatter: Tommy Heinsohn is unlistenable
I often wonder what opposing teams, their beat reporters and bloggers are saying about the Celtics after playing the Celtics. Here's a dose of 'enemy chatter' from Toronto. Caught the better part of this one on a stream which had Tommy Heinsohn mouthing off randomly. The man is the greatest ex...
There is a 0% chance the Red Sox sign Aramis Ramirez. Don't think I need to explain this but...players 30+ years old with deteriorating skills (he can hit, but he will have to DH or play 1B as soon as 2013) who are looking for 3-4 year contracts at around 13-20 mill a year do not fit the mold of what the Sox are looking for. In fact, these are the kind of contracts we are trying to avoid.
Any team that sings him is signing him for his bat. He isn't adequate enough at 3B for the Sox to consider him in the field, and I'm sure they'd rather have Lavarnway and company manning the DH spot than pay that much for a full-time DH.
File this one under: Not in a million years.

Aramis is looking for a new home
There are a million and one ways this offseason can play out for the Red Sox, but at least two paths have the Sox looking for someone new to play third base -- trading Youk for pitching help, or letting Ortiz walk and throwing Youk in the DH role. If either of those becomes a reality, you might...
By most metrics (including UZR/150), Damon has been a well below-average OF since the early 2000s. He won't make the HOF.

Should the Caveman be in the Hall of Fame?
It's a question that's gotten a lot of traction lately, as Johnny Damon notched his 500th double over the weekend, making him the 11th guy with 500 doubles, 100 triples, 200 homers, and 2,500 hits. The other ten are in the Hall of Fame, causing some, including my Rays fan friend, to argue that...
The short answer here is: absolutely not.

Good pitching always beats good hitting...the Padres just don't have good pitching.

Enemy Chatter: Always walk Gonzo
I often wonder what opposing teams, their beat reporters and bloggers are saying about the Red Sox after playing the Red Sox. Here's a dose of 'enemy chatter' from San Diego. That was effing embarrassing. The Padres just proved all their naysayers right. They can't compete. Good hitting bea...
Frankly, I can't wait for Big Baby to leave Boston.

Taking Stock: C's - Heat Game 4
After each game, we'll be taking stock in each players... and maybe coach's... performance. If we like what we see, we're buyin'. If we don't, we're sellin'. Or maybe we'll just hold onto our stock until we see more next game Rajon Rondo: This is just one tough kid. He didn't have a gre...
Doesn't everyone remember the Yankees the season after they signed Tex and CC? They were 5 out in May too. What happened? They won the WS.

Enemy Chatter: The Sox were not clutch and are not that good
I often wonder what opposing teams, their beat reporters and bloggers are saying about the Red Sox after playing the Red Sox. Here's a dose of 'enemy chatter' from LA. Don't be fooled by the scoring, this game was a failed gutcheck with no clutch hits until it didn't even matter ...and so then...
As Chuck said, should we expect anything classier out of Detroit?
Oh, and nice blog JTS. Thing is an unreadable POS.

Enemy Chatter: How's the knee?
I often wonder what opposing teams, their beat reporters and bloggers are saying about the Celtics after playing the Celtics. Here's a dose of 'enemy chatter' from Detroit. Of course, Kevin Garnett, after earning three unwarranted superstar calls, filibustered his knee and had to leave this emba...
Sure, D'Antoni's teams have been successful...in the regular season. Everyone knows his style of basketball does not translate to the playoffs, where the half-court offense rules.

Your Morning Dump... Where the Knicks defense still sucks
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 Knicks are following the D’Antoni blueprint, which means a fast pace and lots of 3-pointers. At almost 25 attempts per game...
