And another loss

The Red Sox designated Travis Shaw for assignment this afternoon and I can't say I blame them. Nice guy and he used to be a good ball player but at this point, he's done. They are bringing Franchy Cordero up from Worcester and he will be on the roster for tonights game in Baltimore.

I have a feeling they are thinking about sending Dalbec down to Worcester because he's not hitting anywhere close to where he should be. Something isn't right with him and maybe a week in the minors will help him get his swing back.

They start a three-game series against the Orioles tonight and I'm hoping they win all three games.

No. Let me rephrase that.

They *need* to win all three games against the Orioles.


The Bruins won last night and are now one point behind the Lightening.

Tonight is their final game of the season and they are playing the Maple Leafs.

They don't have the best record against the Maple Leafs but they just beat the number one team in the NHL (Florida Panthers) so it's not a stretch to think they can beat the Maple Leafs.

If they beat the Leafs and the Lightening lose to the Islanders, the Bruins will move from fourth place to third place and out of the wild card.

That would kick them up one notch in the seeding for the playoffs. If they go into the playoffs as the number four seed, they will play the number one seed. If they go in as the number three seed, they will play the number two seed.


Speaking of sports, tonight is one of those nights where I'll be flipping back and forth between NESN and NESN+ because the Red Sox and the Bruins both play tonight.

While I do that, you can do these:
