It has been some time since I have posted. Over two months actually. Very simple reason for that. Bruins hangover. Something happened to me when the Bruins lost to the Flyers to become only the 3rd NHL team to ever blow a 3-0 lead. I stopped caring. For quite some time all my sports enthusiasm was simply gone. Strange but true. Any and all good feelings from BC winning the national title was stripped away.
Then last night the Celtics lost game 7 to the Lakers. Not a total shocker. I actually watched very little of the entire Finals. Watched mostly via ESPN Gamecast. As I have lamented in that past in this space, the officiating in the NBA has got to be some of the worst in professional sports (Jim Joyce's perfect game gaffe not withstanding). And from the sound of it, watching last night's game certainly would have done nothing to alleviate that bias.
And now today, the US World Cup team gets screwed by a whistle happy ref. A call that was so bad that no one seems to be able to agree on what the actual call was (foul on Edu, foul on Bocanegra, offsides, the voice in my head told me to....). So now the US is in a position where they must beat Algeria on Wednesday. A little help from Algeria today against England will mean that come Wednesday all they will need is a victory with no other help but I won't hold my breath (interestingly, Mr. Green is not in net for the English side today - I guess that gaffe against the Yanks was too much).
Either way, despite the bad news I think the funk is lifting. Better numbers by the Sox, Philly not winning the Stanley Cup and the general excitement of the World Cup helps a lot. I plan to be back to posting. Whether anyone is still reading is a different story.

Still here. But then, you're stuck with me, anyway. ;)
