Your Morning Dump...Where there is something to look forward to

Every morning we compile the links of the day and dump them here... highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump...

Brutal loss for the Patriots tonight.

Pitchers and catchers report in two short weeks. It's baseball season.

Globe:There is some good news

Short and sweet today. The Super Bowl was a tough pill to swallow. Thankfully, there are some damn good teams playing right now in the Celtics & Bruins. But as Abraham said, its two weeks away until pitchers & catchers report and prepare for the marathon that is the baseball season. So to all of those that are feeling down (or hungover), there is no time to wallow in your sorrow. This is why the Boston sports scene is incredible, one team will break your heart but there are three more ready to pick you up.

Former C's big men make picks for next Sox manager

 

Let me begin by saying this was just awful. These guys don't care about the Sox manager and they don't even know or have very little knowledge of the MLB. Even NESN's Chantel McCabe doesn't know baseball. Yeah, she is easy on the eyes, but she couldn't answer Leon Powe's question of who the old St. Louis Cardinals manager was. World Series champions manager, Tony La Russa is not a hard name to remember, especially since everyone in Boston was praying he would fill Tito's spot. He didn't ask who the Arizona Diamondback's manager was. She avoided the question after 35 seconds, and Leon went on to pick himself to make all well.

Papi and Pierce show the B's some love

 

I am still on the Bruins high and will be for some time. The Bruins are getting love from everyone in Boston and some fellow athletes that have nice pieces of jewelry on their fingers.

It is awesome to hear other Boston superstars giving the B's some love and wanting to get a chance with the cup.

After the victory, word spread that the Sox celebrated at their hotel and they wanted to drink champagne out of the cup. Shawn Thornton told reporters when the team arrived at the Garden, that he talked to Youk and Ortiz and he wants to give them a chance to drink out of the cup.

The parade is set for 11am on Saturday and the Red's Army/Ted's Army crew will be there (likely intoxicated) to get a glimpse of the cup.
