After trading away four of their better players, what was left of the Bruins played hockey like a professional hockey team and they shutout the Lightning 4-0.

Maybe management/ownership does know what they are doing...

They didn't move up in the standings but they are now tied at 66 points with two other teams so they are still kinda in the mix.

The Red Sox beat the Braves 7-3 this afternoon.

Fitts got the start and man, that is one big boy. I would not want to stand in the batter box while he threw a baseball at me.

Tomorrow they are on a well-deserved day off and on Tuesday they face the Phillies.
