It's some obscure statute in Boston that they have to have a white guy... I think its called the Scallabrini clause or something.

This year's run is much more significant than last seasons strong finish. I guess the "Fools Gold" avatar of mine is flat out wrong now that we have gone 16-6 over the last 22 games.

I once attributed our success to a soft stretch in the schedule, but this last run of games has beat the skeptic out of me.

I can't wait to see the rest of this season- it has been a great ride so far, and should only be getting better over the next few years.

I would have thought we had a better chance of going 3-9 than the reverse. Hopefully we bounce back against NJ like we usually do after losibg the front end of a back to back.

Hats off to those who predicted success during this brutal stretch of games.
