Ray Allen re-signed. Paul Pierce resigned. Doc is coming back.
Sweetness!
We're also looking to add Kwame Brown, Shaq, Brad Miller or Jermaine O'Neal for some added depth while Perkins recovers from his knee injury

Youk is out for the season. This season is over... smh...
Wasting a good Lester/Bucholz season and a strong 2nd half by Beckett and Dice-K.
Shaq and Jermaine Oneal signed with the Celts.
I'm excited. We got outrebounded so bad in game 7 after Perk went down.
Looks like we're making sure that doesn't happen again

Eh...I'm not doom & gloom about the Red Sox just yet. Youk going down gives the Sox a reason to pursue Adam Dunn, and they're getting back a few more guys really soon. The pitching is starting to come together...just waiting for the cavalry to come in from Pawtucket to give the relievers some relief.

Our middle relief has been terrible all season.
I'm not down bc Youk went down... I'm down bc
Youk, Pedrioa, VTek, VMart, Beckett, Lowell, Buckholz all missing time... and most still missing them
Add to that, Palp is having a rough season. Loaded the bases again today prior to shutting the door.
I'm not as confident with him in the 9th as I used to be. Not during this stretch at least. (I still love him as our closer from now til he retires)
We've just been to banged up... I'm surprised we're still only 6 games out.

Ya, but those guys are coming back and since most of them missed a significant portion of the season, they're coming back fresh.
The starting pitching is so good, it almost doesn't matter what the rest of the team does. Getting Pedy and Tek back will be huge. They just need to keep grinding.

You see it as coming back fresh.
I see it as coming back rusty and the team chem on defense lacking.
We'll see I guess.
Taking game 1 was huge last night. Bucholz is a monster.

Let's not get too excited. He got to face the 7-8-9 hitters. Then again, I'll take any positive I can get at this point.

Exactly. This is the first season I don't shut the game off after the 8th inning.
Pap'll get his swagger back in no time. I'm sure of that.
This Bard's gonna be our closer-talk needs to stop though
unless the plan to make Pap a starter is back

I'm starting to get excited about the 2011 Red Sox... The off-season should be really interesting because of all of the players that could be leaving, but the pitching staff looks great and there are a lot of young guys that will finally be coming up.

You just had to bring it up :(. Pierce looked real good last night too. Read an article a few days ago with him saying he hasnt felt this healthy and excited for a season in a long time. I'm excited about what this team can do.

Celtics
Rondo is playing like a man possessed. I love it. I'll admit, I thought we'd start off slow. The age factor with our team always scares me but it looks like we're playing like we truly are pissed we didn't win the Championship last year. I love it.
Red Sox
BoSox picked up the option on David Ortiz. I love the move. He hit 30/100 last year even with the first 6 weeks being terrible. Some things I would like to see:
-Trade for Adrian Gonzalez. Padres picked up his option but it's likely that this is his last year in SD. I say we go get him. If so, he'll play first and Youk'll shift to third
-If we don't then I'd like for us to resign Beltre. Dude played like a beast for us and on top of the big bat- he's amazing with the glove.
-If all the above fails- sign a low level FA or promote someone and grab Prince Fielder next summer.
-**** JD Drew. I'm sick of paying him to sit on the bench. I'd love if we get J. Werth. It was on the news that BoSox are the favorites to sign him though the Phillies will make a strong push for him. Crawford would be nice but he's like Ellsbury and I don't know whered he fit in the lineup. Leadoff goes to Ellsbury and Pedroia's 2nd. Crawford 5th? 6th? Main reason I'd want him is only bc I konw the Yankees want him bad.

Oh! That guy... does he even play much?
I've only seen two games this year (MIA and Chi) and I didn't see him on the floor for either one

Yeah, he plays quite a bit right now and will probably play even more with the injured O'Neils.

He's played 10-15 minutes the last couple games and scored like 6-9 points each game I think..7 feet, pretty athletic from what i've seen and gets to the line/hits (literally) all his free-throws...im decently high on him from the ferociously small sample size.
