Mark was one of the friendliest and most outgoing people I have ever met. He loved life, and made me love life. He was an eternal optimist, and could always find the good in everything and everyone. To him, the word ugly didn't exist; there was beauty in all, and his funeral reflected it.It was sunny and warm today, the perfect day to have a funeral, if there is such a thing. The church was

It was my first day of Kindergarten, and I didn't know anybody in my class. I was shy, and scared, not knowing what to expect. But then he came up to me, introduced himself, and declared that we would be friends for the rest of our lives. He was wearing giant glasses, bright red overalls, and his favorite Pokemon shirt. He had buck teeth, and long floppy hair. I thought he was crazy, and weird,

Dear Red Sox batters,What the hell was that? Getting 2-hit by the Rays after Beckett struck out 14 is just unacceptable. Our starters are out there busting their asses for you guys, and the best you can do is 1 run in the past 2 games?And what is up with all of the swinging at first pitches? Is that what you have been taught to do? I don't think so, so stop it RIGHT NOW!Tomorrow is an off day for

The Bruins season ended as of Tuesday. I am not as angry or dissappionted as I thought I would be. Sure, I wanted them to win game 7 , but they worked their butts off this entire season just to get to game 7, and I couldn't be prouder of this group of guys. They were an entertaining group of guys to watch, and I can't wait to see what they will do next season. This season, the Habs were just

Photo by Bill Sikes from Yahoo.com Last night's third period of the the Bruins/Habs game was unlike any other third period I have ever seen. It exemplified what being a Bruin means this season.Coming in to the playoffs as the number eight seed, and playing against a team they have failed to beat once in the regular season, it seemed to most of the hockey analysts, and most of the fans that a Habs

They have beaten the Indians 5 straight times, dating back last year's ALCS. Each time, the Indians

In the days of Bill Russel, Larry legend, Bob Cousy, Kevin McHale, John Havlicek, wearing the Celtic Green was the envy of every player in the National basketball Association. They were far and away the greatest franchise in the NBA, with their 16 Championship banners hanging majestically from the rafters of the Gahden, and the plethora of stars calling Boston their home.Every night fans would

And unlike the team they were playing, they actually clinched a playoff spot for themselves, instead of having another team do it for them.It also looks like Patrice Bergeron and Marc Savard might be back in time for the first round! If this actually happens, this team could be very dangerous in

This is what comes up when I google "off days suck"I hate off days. They suck. Especially ones so close to the beginning of the season. I was just getting used to watching baseball every day, when all of a sudden they stick an off day in there. Do they not know that I need baseball to live?????Today was a very frustrating day, and having no baseball to watch tonight is just making it worse. The

Because if it is, the Bruins would definitely get it.They have suffered through so many injuries this season, and have just lost Chuck Kobasew for the rest for the season, and Marc Savard(No!)for at least a week. It is basically like the end of the Sox' 2006 season, but throughout the whole

The first time I laid my eyes on Manny, I was four years old, and attending my first baseball game at Fenway. I got to the ballpark in time to see Manny take BP.He was leaning against the batting cages, waiting for his turn to hit. He looked just like another ballplayer to me, until he stepped into that batting cage. The very first pitch he swung at, after letting 3 pitches go by him, he hit a

I believe that one of the main things it takes for a team to win is chemistry, and this years Bruins team is proving that.They lost their best player, Patrice Bergeron, near the beginning of the season, and have had to battle though various other injuries, the most recent being the loss of Zdeno Chara. This team has had to battle thought all of these injuries, and is doing it very well. Today's
