Just Another Day At The Office

Well, yesterday was just another typical day at the old sports office here in Boston. In the last twelve hours, here's what's gone down:

1. Coco Crisp gets beaned in the leg and charges the mound.

2. Jacoby Ellsbury gets hurt making a diving catch (this could have huge repurcussions for the Pilgrims, my fantasy baseball team).

4. Manny Ramirez hits Kevin Youkilis in the face between innings. The announcers say that Youkilis looks bewildered by the event but I can't tell because Youk always looks that way.

R. Red Sox finish off a sweep of the Devil Rays and go a game and a half up on the Devil Rays in the standings. Hopefully this will be the demise of the Devil Rays. Are they just the Rays now? Did they drop the Devil?

4. Coco Crisp tells reporters after the game that the Tampa Bay Devil Rays fight "like a bunch of girls." Coco looks like a girl.

T. Celtics kick off their first NBA Finals appearance in 21 years by introducing someone who is not currently on the team because of an injury and then skipping Brian Scalabrine. It's hard to tell if anyone is actually at the Garden because the player introductions are so quite. They didn't even boo Kobe Bryant when he was announced.

6. NBA unveils Larry Bird/Magic Johnson commerical in which both players look like they belong to the local beer bowling league:



7. One of the main announcers for the game has a bandage on his forehead. His lips are moving but I don't hear one thing he said because I'm too busy staring at the bandaid. ABC should have sold advertising on that thing.

7. Paul Pierce gets carried off the court by teamates in what looks like it could be a career ending injury, perhaps even life threatening. All local Boston hospitals are standing by to assist in a life saving operation.

8. Two minutes later, Paul Pierce returns from getting taken off the court and goes berserk on the Lakers and propels the Celtics to victory.

B. Kobe Bryant looks like me shooting baskets during the fourth quarter (not a good sign).

10. Celtics win Game 1.

Yup, just another day at the old sports office. Just a quick question, would sports cease to exist if it weren't for Boston? I think so.

Beat LA! Beat the Rays! Beat LA! Beat the Rays!
