Halfway through the NBA season, on the verge of the first exhibition games of the spring, just past the trading deadline in the NHL...there is plenty to talk about...Let's take a look.
First off...Sox:
John Lackey -- coming off a disappointing debut year with the Sox, in which he finished with a 14-11 record and 4.4 ERA, decided there was one thing he could manage coming into camp...his weight.
Youk is gung-ho to move back to 3rd. And I bet he'll be sweaty getting ready.
Adrian Gonzalez is itching to go back full tilt...but he'll be patient as he awaits the Docs OK.
Lucchinno contends that Fenway is not going anywhere.
The Sox brass did a lot of talking today.
Manny is enjoying his first few weeks in a Tampa uniform.
Of course Papi knows how to make an entrance...plus -- I got to get me a "I still (heart) white people" shirt.
Jeter thinks the Sox are "great."
Tek is in great shape for his backup role...which -- judging by the other catchers on this team -- could become a starting role once again.
JD Drew may be hurt yet again ... but at least he is honest.
Hold the presses: Carl Crawford has made a good first impression with the press.
Now onto a few NBA notes on this All Star weekend.
Ray Ray and PP didn't couldn't stand up to the Heat in the 3-point contest.
The Herald's Mark Murphy gives out his mid-season grades.
Also -- the Herald's Steve Bulpett has a great piece on the hard-headed Rondo.
KG is happy at the break...but also defends his intensity.
Heading up the East, Doc is hearing praise all around.
The Cs are getting high praise from many around the league.
The Globe has its always good Basketball Notes.
A few notes on the Bs, who may have improved their chances at the trading deadline...
Speaking of the moves...
Fluto Shinzawa has a nice piece on the Bs new additions.
The current Bs are happy with the moves.
Lastly, in a non-sports story - the Globe had a great feature today on Brad Delp, the now-deceased front man of the 70s rock band Boston...it never ceases to amaze me how people who are so talented can be so dark.
That's it for tonight...be back soon.
