June 26, 1876

June 26, 1876 The Battle of the Little Bighorn —also known as Custer's Last Stand and, in the parlance of the Native Americans involved, the Battle of Greasy Grass Creek—was an armed engagement between a Lakota–Northern Cheyenne combined force and the 7th Cavalry Regiment of the United States Army. It occurred on June 25 and June 26, 1876, near the Little Bighorn River in the eastern Montana Territory, near what is now Crow Agency, Montana.

Anyone know what the score of the Cubs playing the Red Sox that very day?

Say it ain't so, Manny

Ortiz and Ramirez Said to Be on the 2003 Doping List!

Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz, who both somehow ended the Boston Red Sox 86-year World Series drought, then did it again three years later, were among the roughly 100 Major League Baseball players to test positive for 'something' in 2003, according to lawyers with knowledge of the results.

All I can say is that I'm shocked, shocked to hear this shocking shocking news!

So? Can we put an asterix on the Red Sox World Series Wins, then? Can we dial them back to 91 year drought?

Sports News

Patriots road to the Super Bowl just got a lot easier. Colts DE Dwight Freeney will probably need season ending surgery...

Boston Celtics have won their sixth straight game to start their season. ESPN is already chattering about how they're going to match the 95-96 Bulls 72-10 record. Sure... They won six games, let's not start talkin' trash about the Dynasty Bulls just yet. Maybe if their Big 3 stay healthy, Boston could possibly make it. I say that they wouldn't make it out of the second round if they were in the Western Conference...

Some blog listed Clemens, Matsui among the names on Mitchell list. It was also mentioned on an XM sports talk program - even though the rumors seem to be growing out of control - IF the public can get their hands on the Mitchell report, it won't be until after the New Year. If there are suspensions (probably not) 50 or more players out could make for a terrible spring for most of the clubs.

Oh, and Grossman's back. And as much QB drama that the Bears have, it ain't nothin' compared to the Panthers. Another note - I'm lovin' the Dolphins really sucking like a vacuum cleaner for some reason. Oh, I know why, because they could potentially blank an entire season and the 72 team might finally get eclipsed by Tom Brady wonderhouse, do-no-wrong-team.

Now that I think about it, Boston is the anti-Chicago right now. World Series, NFL Dynasty, and the Celtics are good again. What's in the water in Boston?

Baseball news, June 27th

Big Hurt 500 without an asterisk,
Maddux just took his 345th,
Cubs won their sixth game in a row-
...by sweeping the Rockies...
...who swept the Yankees...
...and took two out of three from the Red Sox.

So, uh, by some goofed up logic -
did the Cub$ just win the World Series?

Red Sox know how to deal with interference

Would have LOVED to have thrown my pizza at Bartman.
