Latest News From the Past Week

I know, I know, I've been on somewhat of a hiatus for something like a week now. I don't really remember why, I just never got around to writing. But, if you follow me on Twitter (@DirtyWaterBuzz) you would see some news that I've put out in 140 characters or less (can't stand that part of Twitter). Anyways, here's what's been going on in the past week:

The Red Sox:

• It appears the manager search is down to two candidates. Bobby Valentine and Gene Lamont. Both are just horrid, horrid choices. Why didn't they call Dave Martinez again?
• Apparently the Sox asked the Jays about talking to John Farrell. Anthopolous' response? "Give us Buchholz and you can talk to him" What a pissy piece of shit. It's not like your team is any good anyways.
• Gio Gonzalez is a name that has been widely discussed internally by the team. Gonzalez is a lefty starter for Oakland who has also drawn interest from the Yankess and the Marlins. The A's have yet to engage in serious discussions with anyone about Gio yet though.
• The Sox are still pursuing free agent lefty C.J. Wilson, according to John Paul Morosi of FOX Sports. I personally would like to see the Sox stay away from him. his regular season numbers are impressive no doubt, but he sucked in the playoffs and that makes me wary of signing him to a long term deal. Morosi also says that the Sox have checked in on Luis Ayala, who pitched 56 innings for the Yankees last year and had a 2.09 ERA.

The Bruins:

• The Bruins were red freakin' hot this week. They took a 10 game winning streak into yesterday's game against Detroit. They did lose in a shootout to the Red Wings, but they got a point out of it and that makes it an 11 game point streak coming into tonight's game against Winnipeg.
• Tyler Seguin has been on fire all year and has already topped both his goal total and his point toal from last season. The kid belongs in the All Star Game. So, go on Twitter, follow me (@DirtyWaterBuzz), get #SeguinforAllStarGame trending, and be sure to follow @writeinSeguin to get the link to write the kid in.

Also, some breaking news. It appears that the NBA and the NBAPA have reached a tentative agreement to end the lockout. It still needs to be ratified by the players and owners though, but it would make for a 66 game season that would start on Christmas Day.

Damn it. That league needs an entire season off. The players have far too much power and the owners are subject to a league office full of pussies that won't do a damn thing about it. Absolutely pathetic.
