Eddie Adelman and the Sports Huddle had an immense presence on the Boston sporting scene. And Eddie was must listening on EEI. My condolences to his family.

Why we love baseball: Red Sox have two (2) swinging bunts in the same inning! You’re lucky to have one a month.

And those cheesy “hits” led to two runs. No other sport has anything like it.

50th anniversary of the famed 1976 Game 5 Triple OT. Me and my blue Olivetti Lettera 32 had a nice courtside seat.

It ain’t pretty, but what we’re setting pretty much sums up the difference between the Spurs and the Knicks: not much.

Don’t tell me you’re a true basketball fan if you don’t appreciate what the Spurs just did to win this series.

It’s setting up for a great Game 7 4th quarter. People who aren’t sports fans have no idea what they’re missing.

The Thunder and Spurs are giving us what we want in a Game 7. Sit back and enjoy.

Attn Celtics fans: what the Knicks did in their Game 4 destruction of the Cavs was play classic Tom Heinsohn basketball. That was the greatest fast break clinic since the 70s Celtics, and that includes the 80s “Showtime” Lakers.

That might be a distance record desperation shot by a 7-4/5 guy. Whaddya think?

Gretzky was a great offensive machine. That’s undeniable. Orr was an unparalleled two-way player whose career was cut short by injury. Orr was a better PLAYER.

Why do I listen to the SiriusXM Beatles channel Top 100 Beatles songs each Memorial Day weekend when I know am only going to get angry?

RIP the irreplaceable Congressman Barney Frank. My favorite Frankism: regarding a political opponent Barney said, “He should run for shortstop because he can go to his right or left with equal facility.”

Hey, everybody. Chill. Wemby ain’t Wilt and Wilt wasn’t Wemby. Very different players. But thanks to Wemby’s versatility you could pair them, and wouldn’t that be frightening?

Everyone has a local favorite baseball broadcaster. We in Boston know how insightful and incredibly creative the great Ned Martin was. He practically invented the beloved Jerry Remy. And the Martin-Jim Wpods duo was as good as it gets.

I erroneously cited Bob Cousy as exclusively being a Celtic. I forgot about that regrettable 7-game stint with the Cincinnati Royals.

I’m wondering what Ralph is thinking when he sees Wemby.
