What the fuck is going on in Washington?- BG
I know a lot of you saw this yesterday and when I first saw it, I thought it was a joke. I thought that another plane hit a flock of fucking seagulls and went off track. But no, this was a designed fly over or NEW YORK CITY by the White House Military Douche Bag. I know this is mainly a sports website, but I had to address this. Now Barack "The Messiah" Obama says that he is just as furious as anyone. Listen Barry, I have seen enough 24 episodes to know that when something comes from the White House, they do anything they can to shelter the President from blame. All so he can save face with the American public. Apparently Barry, the media whore, needed some snazy, sexy new pics of Air Force One flying around in the sky. Next time you choose to take jerk off pics of your plane, try not to come within 500 feet of the Statue of Liberty with F16s trailing close behind. Or try not to fly over a city in which, eight years ago, two planes were hijacked, knocked down two of the most recognized buildings in the world, killed thousands of people, and started a war on three fronts.

Bruins-Frogs Preview! Drop Those Gloves!- BG
There were many Bruins fights and power moments this year, but that was hands down my favorite. For those of you who did not watch the Bruins or the first round playoff series last year, Milan Lucic and Mike Komisarek went from occasional rivals to wishing they could run a hockey stick through eachothers hearts, Steve Irwin style. I mean, it got nasty. The only issue was that they never fought because they were both too valuable to their teams in the playoffs to be off the ice for 5 minutes (possibly more). Well in their second meeting, first B's home game, Milan Lucic finally got his wish and beat the fuck out of that Canadian Fraud (Actually Komisarek is from NY and Lucic is from Vancouver, but THAT ISN'T MY POINT!! Milan plays for Boston now!). What that video didn't show is that Komisarek was out a month after that with a shoulder injury. The Bruins won that game 6-1 and never lost again this season to the Frogs. The regular season for these two culminated in a game that closely resembled the Battle of Antietam. It was by far the cheapest game with the most penalty minutes and from what I hear from my father, mostly resembled the old B's-Frogs games. I expect nothing less in this series. So to start off, I'm going to break it down for you, and tell you how the Bruins will finally get off the schneid.
Offense: The Bruins were second on the year in the entire NHL in 5 on 5 scoring. This stems from three legitimate scoring lines, led by the first line of Phil Kessel, Marc Savard, and the other day in practice it was crafty vet, P.J. Axelsson, on the left wing. The left wing has been a rotating position on this first line, Kobasew and Lucic have also spent time up there. Either way, when the Kessel/Savard line comes out, the Frogs will be retreating quicker than they did when Hitler invaded Paris. The other two lines have been shuffled around throughout the year, brilliantly by Claude Julien. Right now it looks like Bergeron (more on him in a moment) and the unsung hero David Krejci will be centering the lines, with Ryder, Wheeler, Lucic, Recchi, Kobasew, and "Sweet Revenge" Michael Ryder on the wings. The Canadiens do not have nearly the offensive depth that the Bruins do and simply because their best offensive player, Alexi Kovalev, looks like the Prince from Shrek, the Bruins get the nod. Edge: Bruins.
Defense: Let me start by saying Zdeno Chara deserves the Norris this year. You really cannot ask more or expect more from a Captain than Zdeno Chara. The only way to describe Zdeno, is to use this gem from Jack Bauer, "The only purpose for RP 7 rocket fuel, is to fire missiles!" Zdeno has been running on rocket fuel and firing missiles all season long. He leads the team in minutes and is second in shots on goal. These are not just shots, as Jack points out, these are 105 mph missiles. Chara has been playing with veteran Aaron Ward. Wideman, rookie Matt Hunwick, Shane "The Sheriff" Hnidy, and Mark Stuart round out the B's defensive core. On the other side the French Frauds might be playing without their best defenseman Andrei Markov. Markov is also their second leading scorer. Mike Komisarek will have to do more than pick on the smallest players on the ice to stop the Bruins attack. It will not be enough Major Edge: Bruins
Goaltenders: Tim Thomas leads the league with a 2.1 GAA and Carey Price is 31st in the league with a 2.83 GAA. There really is not a need to compare the two. Tim Thomas is just that much better. This is like comparing who is a bigger whore, Britney Spears or Mother Theresa. Enough said. Major Edge: Bruins
Special Teams: Here is where the Frogs can have their day and I will tell you why. The Bruins are far and away the better power play team (23.6% vs 19.2) and their penalty killing is equal at 82.4%. The reason the Frogs can have their day is because they are a team full of antagonist pussies. They slash, cheap shot, rabbit punch, and then when it comes time to face the music they hit the ice quicker than a fat kid at an all-you-can-eat buffet. They lead the league in diving penalties. If they announce your name for a diving penalty, they might as well say "#27, 2 minutes, for lack of balls." Anyway, this Canadian team can get under the Bruins skin because the Bruins are tougher and more physical and they have balls. If you don't believe me watch LaPierre, Latendresse, or either of the KGB Kostitsyn brothers during this series. It is a pathetic sight. Edge: Push
X-Factors: For the Bruins its Patrice Bergeron and Mark Recchi. Bergeron's game is rounding in to form and has finally started to show signs of pre-"I almost broke my neck and died" Bergey. The game winner last Thursday against Montreal, where he flattened the Hab defenseman, stole the puck, and then fed fellow X-Factor Mark Recchi for the winner, was all the proof you need. Mark Recchi is an X-Factor because he has been here before and has been crucial leading up to the playoffs after being acquired at the trade deadline. When the Bruins were struggling towards the middle of the year, Recchi's arrival applied some stabilization to this team. They are going to need that leadership if this thing starts to go goes south. For the Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys, the X-Factors are Matheiu Schneider and their Vaginas. These two go hand in hand because Matthieu Schneider has really given the Frogs a huge boost on the power play, since being acquired in February. If their Vaginas start hurting during this series and the Bruins get caught up in a cheap shot, penalty-fest, the Habs can pick up a few power play tallies and change the game in a hurry. Just like last Thursday's game. I am not as worried because the B's are a fairly disciplined team and if you don't think Claude Julien has promised that the wrath of God will come down on them if they take stupid penalties, you are kidding yourself. Edge: Slight edge B's, but slight.
I would really like the B's to take this one in five, at home in the garden, but something tells me that is not going to happen. Maybe it is because I am a natural pessimist, but I am going with B's in six. This way they will close it out in Montreal and put away the ghosts of playoffs past.

That's a Ten Point Buck-BG
Well Opening Day has come and gone for all teams in the MLB and overall I am thrilled baseball is back. If I could only figure out which DH to hang on to, Ortiz or Thome, in my fantasy league, I will be all set. Why did I draft two power hitters who cannot start at the same time in my fantasy lineup you ask? Because on draft night I got slightly inebriated and forgot about the draft. By the time I realized this it was the 11th round and I had three DHs. I don't want to talk anymore about it.

Lets Get It On -TOMP
Welcome to the greatest weekend in sports. As all are well aware, the Final Four finishes this weekend, the Cavs get dominated not once but three times and Allen Iverson is out for the season! These events only occur once in a blue moon, but all are overshadowed by the ever epic annual spectacular that seperates the men from the boys, puts the 'dic' in ridiculous and reveals the ultimate champion.

My Sex is on Fire- BG
Moving on to something that normal people think about: Sports! Kind of mixed bag in the coming week. We have the C's limping to the finish and an Orangeless Final Four. On the other hand we have the B's hitting there stride again and ...Opening Day for the Sox! Here comes my Red Sox 2009 preview. Get some cold water, take off those sweatpants, and put some jeans on, cause you might get a little excited. Let's start with the lineup. The biggest question for me is whether David Ortiz will get back to being Big Papi and stop being Big Pussy. Everything that I have read states that he is healthy again. No clicking wrist, no spaghetti knee, and he has apparently got his "Cojones". My hope is that Big Papi, determined to prove to everyone that he can produce without Manny, goes for 35 and 130. If this happens, there is a very good chance that we will be hearing Mayor Menino mispronounce words again at the parade route announcement. I predict a big year from Jason Bay. Yes I am gay for Bay, big fan, don't judge me. (no homo) I also predict Mike Lowell will have a huge comeback year because he is playing with a "Paris-sized" chip on his shoulder. Mike Lowell will go, .290 with 22 bombs and get this.....110 RBIs. You heard it here. He is my favorite player on this team and Mikey was none too happy about all the Leigh Teixiera and Mark Teixiera signing talks. If you are an above average, World Series MVP, blue collar player, would you be happy being replaced by a guy who is $60 million overpaid, who lets his wife make his decisions for him? Leigh and Mark also haven't won shit in their lives. Mike Lowell, two rings. The good thing for Leigh and Mark is that Mark isn't the biggest fairy boy of the team, but he might be the most hated. The reason I say this, is because A-Roid has officially gone off the deep end. There aren't words to describe how messed up this guy is and although I hate him, it's so easy to hate him, he is starting to take the fun out of it. Maybe this is part of his master plan, I don't know.
Time for some Rotation talk. The biggest key for this season is getting Beckett off to a good start. Last year he came in a little overweight and then he had to go to Japan. Not only is everyone in Japan 5' 3", but all they eat is raw octopus and rice. They are skinny as fuck. It probably just magnified the issue in his mind. When you are a big "I live in Texas and slaughter my own cows" kind of guy, you are used to some fat ass people. I can't blame him. Add in the whole time zone thing and this is one mentally fucked up ace. I know it's the first start, but Opening Day will tell us a lot and let's hope we got the Texas Josh back. NEWS FLASH FOR EVERYONE!! Jon Lester has developed a changeup! My favorite pitch in baseball is a good changeup, ala Johan Santana, Pedro Martinez, Cole Hamels, just to name a few. A lefty who throws mid-90s, has location, a mean cutter, a smooth hammer, and now a devastating changeup!?!? I need a cold shower or a towel. Dice-K will be the same as last year. He will average 5 innings, 110 pitches, 6 walks, 7-8 Ks, and somehow win 15 games. I don't get it. I cannot stand watching him pitch and I will scalp my tickets if I know he is pitching. He has overtaken Steve Trachsel as the new "Human Rain Delay". This is me during every Dice-K start. But I will take the 15 W's. The wild card in this rotation is Brad Penny. When Brad Penny was at his best, he was flat out un-hittable. He just throws straight gas. High 90s and says "Hit this motherfucker!". This, however, will be a different Brad Penny. He might have to re-invent himself, like Schilling did. He is still going to have that low to mid 90s fastball, a table dropping slider, and a curve that resembles Beckett's. Let us not forget, that Penny was on the 2003 Marlins Championship team and was 2-0 with a 2.00 ERA against the Yanks. Will the real Brad Penny please stand up!
The Pirate Ship in the bullpen. The ship has lost its captain, Mike Timlin, and by all accounts will either be without one designated captain or the reigns could be handled to Jonathon Papelbon. That's about as good an idea as taking a floozy home and drunk driving along the Chappaquiddick bridge, right Ted? I love Paps, I mean the guy is a stud, when "Shipping up to Boston" comes on, I go crazy. However, after seeing Eastbound and Down, I cannot get the Papelbon-Kenny Powers comparisons out of my head. That scares me just a bit if Kenny Powers is the closer of my team. I know Kenny Powers is more Jon Rocker, but Paps is next. I am just saying, do not be surprised that come free agent time he demands 8 years $1 billion and starts ripping on Boston when they say "fuck you". If that happens, hello Daniel Bard, bye-bye Paps. Look for Okajima to have a bounce back season and Ramon Ramirez will overtake Delcarmen, who will be traded this year. Sorry, Manny. You grew up in Boston so you should know the expectations, live up to them. Justin Masterson will be in the rotation next year, I am praying to god, but his sinker is nearly untouchable, and should set up nicely in the 7th and 8th. I think that the bullpen is the strongest part of this team and much better than the Yankees, especially because Hank has put Joba the Hut in the starting rotation. If Joba was in the bullpen, it would be lights out if the Yanks had a lead after 7. I just don't get it, I never will, but I also do not care.
That is it for my preview. I don't do predictions because I am superstitious and I don't do previews for other teams, because I don't care about other teams. If you have not seen the six episodes of Eastbound and Down, I highly recommend it. I'm out for now, time to do something called work. I am still pissed that I missed the best C's game of the year when I could have gone for 12 bucks. FUCK! Last night just reminds me why Ray Allen is my favorite player. Till next time.
