Sox, sticks and whistles

Quite the time of the year with the (flailing) Boston Red Sox and hockey's Boston Bruins and basketball's Celtics in their leagues playoffs there is plenty of excitement and angst to go around. After the Sox winning last season's World Series then the New England Patriots winning the Super Bowl there has to be a hope for a sweep of all the major New England's sports teams grabbing championships. No idea if it has happened before. There is no sure thing with the Bruins and Celtics in the middle of their 2nd round playoff games both with tough opponents but a fan can dream.
