BOSTON SPORTS AND LESS IMPORTANT SPORTS LINKS

Bout fucking time

I'm not giving a link to the story cause its too sad to read at the moment, but I was pissed to see James Sanders get cut. Definitely one of my favorite players over the last couple seasons and a pretty good ballplayer overall. He didnt really get much run in camp, so I'm hoping they bring him back, but either way, tough to see him get let go

Brandon Spikes and Mike Wright are finally back at practice. Thank fucking god to hear that about Spikes. Wright too, but with what was added to the DLine, I think its a much bigger deal to have Spikes back. Wright seems on the bubble to me

Sox-Yanks start tonight. I like the pitching match ups for the sox for the three games and taking 2 of 3 would be huge but they'll probably sweep them

Amazing the stuff going around about Ochocinco's start in New England. He gave an interview today, ESPN's headline was optimistic and boston.com's headline was the complete opposite. I'm not sure I get why people are reading so much into it. If anything, you could say he's had a better camp than Branch since 85 has actually had a catch and touchdown, but in reality its irrelevant until the season starts, so talk to me when he's got 10 TD's.

other stuff:

hardballtalk talking AL rookie of the year today. I'm pretty biased since I've been following Michael Pineda since mid season last year, so he's my boy. But who gives a shit about WAR and all those other bullshit stats, just go with who was the best player out of the rookies. Pineda is my pick

Bruce Pearl got a job with a Tennessee grocery company today. He got banned for recruiting violations and shit last season so the NCAA gave him the boot for three years. He's now the VP of marketing which I think should suit him since he bullshitted himself a top team at Tenn the last few seasons

The Sun is reporting that Arsenal are closing in on Chelsea's Florent Malouda. My only real problem with this is that some scum United fan at the pub said Chelsea would sell him and I said there was no chance. I don't want to hear his "I told you so bullshit" even though I'm certain he had no clue. I still don't think they'll sell him.
