There was so much going on in the world of Boston Sports on Thursday with the Red Sox-Rays battle for first place in the AL East and Game 1 Celtics-Lakers NBA finals to fill up the Random Thoughts, Sights and Sounds post for this week. There were enough sights and sounds to give us enough to talk about for a while.
From the Red Sox-Rays game:
You had the Coco brawl with James Shields. While Dioner Novarro held Coco down Jonny Gomes and Carl Crawford spent their time in the pile taking swings at Coco. Seeing Coco run out to the mound as quickly as he did goes to show that he's not planning to sleepwalk thru the entire season after losing his starting job to Jacoby Ellsbury.
I love the Tampa player at the 32-second mark trying feverishly to get his shoe back on so he can get back into the fray.
Who knew Manny had the ability and the makeup to get angry?
Jacoby injuring his wrist and having to leave the game. Players on the Red Sox are dropping like flies, like my fantasy baseball team (which lost another player to the DL- Carlos Pena). The Sox have put nine players on the DL so far this year, Beckett, Schilling, Dice-K, Buchholz, Ortiz, Brandon Moss, Alex Cora, Sean Casey, Mike Lowell. Various players have had smaller nagging injuries (Jacoby, Manny, J.D. Drew, Okijima).
Whew!!! Now we can talk about the Celtics and their Game 1 battle with the Lakers in the NBA Finals.
The biggest moment(s) of the game came in the third quarter when Paul Pierce injured his knee, was carried off the floor and put in the wheelchair to get to the locker room. Then he game back two minutes later and drained consecutive three-pointers to give the Celtics a lead they would never relinquish.
Just another ordinary ho-hum day in the world of Boston sports.
