Random Thoughts (April 14, 2009)

Who was the guy that said the Red Sox would challenge the 1998 Yankees, who won 116 regular season games and the World Series? I would not want to be that guy... It's bad enough that he was too big of a jerk to be kept off the 1992 Olympic "Dream Team" and that he has ruined the Toronto Raptors, the CBA, the Indiana Pacers, and the New York Knicks, now Isiah Thomas has decided to take the head coaching job at Florida International University. Expect to see the Golden Panthers in the basement of the Sun Belt Conference sooner than later... So, will Hasheem Thabeet be the next Dikembe Mutombo or the next Shawn Bradley? A team at the top of the Lottery will know by this time next year... If I could be so bold, maybe it's time for Terry Francona to stop being so loyal to J.D. Drew. Drew is not a run producing hitter, he needs to be dropped from the fifth spot in the lineup... When will the real Jon Lester show up? Hopefully this weekend against the Orioles... Bruins-Canadiens in the NHL playoffs. It doesn't get any better... Watching "Something About Mary" on television reminds me that it was one of the best comedy movies of all-time. Franks and Beans... You know something, I'm sticking to my predictions of greatness for the Red Sox... Enjoy Daisuke Matsuzaka tonight...
