Thinking of the Boston Red Sox, after watching this version of the team play I’ve decided that they are one of the most interesting teams in the league for two simple reasons:
- They have a lot of young players with great futures ahead of them.
- They are good enough to beat the best teams on any given day, and also bad enough to lose to the worst team on any given day (They split series with the Braves AND the White Sox who had lost 14 straight.
That means it’s always worth watching because you never know what’s coming up on any given day.
Watching the left go absolutely ape-shit over Israel rescuing four of their hostages has been one of the most interesting spectacles I’ve ever seen. I suspect it has been an eye opener to a lot of folks who didn’t recognize what they had become.
The Obama (oops I mean Biden) administration’s determination to not only save Hamas but to avoid any credit on this point is rather astounding, well given as I said the fact that it’s the Obama team running the show perhaps it’s not.
But all of this makes a great backdrop to Bibi’s speech before congress coming up.
That will be quite a spectacle complete with insurrectioney leftists outside and perhaps inside, who will of course not be prosecuted.
Unexpectedly of course
A long time ago my former radio co-host John Weston told a story about Obama that I won’t repeat without evidence but I will say two things:
- All of the actions of this and the first Obama terms are consistent with said story
- Just about unthinkable things that has happened in our culture over the last 10 years was predicted by John 15 years ago
If he knew stock futures like he knew America’s future he’d be rich today
Unlike the Redsox the Celtics have been less interesting to watch as they have pretty much rolled over everyone they have played lately.
So far the Boston Celtics have been unstoppable in the finals. Dallas is going to need to go 4-1 against the Celtics over the next five games to take this title.
While this is possible in theory the Celtics have not gone 1-4 or even 2-3 over any five game period this entire season.
At this point the only real danger to the Celtics are themselves and you can see that both Tatum and Brown have bad memories of their last trip to the finals and are determined not to repeat it.
That’s a good sign for the team but bad for talk radio who are running out of things to say.
The fuss about Catlyn Clarke being left off the US Olympic teams has made for an interesting dynamic.
The US woman’s team has won seven straight goal medals at the Olympics in fact their winning streak is seven years older then my 1999 LeSabre. They have not lost a game in the lifetime of my youngest son who was born in 1993.
Given these facts it’s safe to say they are a better bet to win the Gold then the Celtics are to win the NBA title up 2-0 already. The team doesn’t need Clarke to win and I suspect not a woman on that team wants her straight white untattooed ass on the court with them. But Clarke’s omission does create one problem for their team.
With the length of this 32 year winning streak it would be only natural that sooner or later they would drop a game as the rest of the world slowly catches up. Under normal circumstances such a loss on the road to Gold would be no big deal.
But can you imagine what the reaction will be if they finally lose a game the year Clarke is left off the team?
I think the reaction of fans would be humiliating for the team and the coaches and this is going to mean extra pressure for that team to win and win big.
Well you asked for it.
