There is hockey tonight

The first place Bruins will take on the Hurricanes this evening and if they want to stay in first place, they need to win.

McAvoy is still out and I don't blame him. Getting hit in the face with a hockey puck would put me out for the season.

The 2026 Baseball Hall Of Fame ballot is out and I'm surprised to see Rick Porcello on it. I did not realize that it has been five years since he retired.

Pedroia is still on the ballot. I didn't think he would get the requisite 5% minimum votes to stay on the ballot last year but he did. As a matter of fact, he got 12% of the votes last year. Maybe he'll get more than 12% this year.
