Pity the Boston Sports Fan

Boston sports fans haven't had a lot of things to cheer;

Just a week and all our hopes for glory disappear.

We are plagued with injuries and not a lot of wins...

News the Red Sox hired players for their boyish grins.

Yesterday the Celtics' fans grew worried; 'though we won.

Rondo tore his ACL - which means his season's done.

That's a major problem.  Rajon Rondo has been key

Now that it's the Heat that cheers at "Ray Allen for threeee!"

I still cannot talk about the Patriots' collapse.

It left me depressed and I'm afraid I may relapse.

21 unanswered points? Just what the heck was that?

Since when is our Offense so spectacularly flat?

Good news is that now I can enjoy the Super Bowl.

If your team is in it, watching football takes its toll.

Patriots are out of it; they've packed away their pads.

I don't care who wins the game; I'll watch it for the ads.

Pity the poor Bruins though, with such a daunting task;

All the hopes of Boston fans on them and  Tuukka Rask.

Celtics are in trouble now that Rajon Rondo's out.

Boston fans need some sports team that we can brag about.

The Boston Celtics - 0 and 2

  I'm not optimistic for this series with the Heat

After watching last night's painful, overtime defeat.

Don't think the officiating helped us out at all...

But, I must admit, I'm not a fan of basketball.

Yes, I like the Celtics and I'm hoping that they win

(What I'm really praying for is football to begin.)

Basketball's exhausting - watching giant, sweaty men

Racing up and down and back and forth, then down again.

I'm just sitting in a chair and I am out of breath...

Celtics haven't had a rest; they've got to be near death.

'though they've played their hearts out - Rondo's been a joy to see -

I think they'll win 1 or 2.  At most - they might win 3.

Guess I shouldn't count them out.  The struggle will be fierce.

Still, we've got Garnett and Doc, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce.

Even though they're tired and despite their nagging hurts

Those are proud and seasoned fighters wearing Celtics shirts.

This Week in Boston Sports

Perhaps we were a (trifle) too cocky?

Summing up this week in Boston sports is not much fun.

Only good news to report is that the Celtics won;

Beat Atlanta's Hawks to make it to the second round.

They're the only Ray of light, in Boston, to be found.

Carl Beane - he's the Voice of Fenway - died; a heart attack.

Matt Light just retired; Brady's sure to feel his lack.

Seau's dead.  The Red Sox are imploding.  Holy crap!

Watched the news the other night and saw Josh Beckett snap.

He is taking lots of heat for playing golf when he

Should have been recovering from recent injury.

Fenway's Faithful booed him off the field and he was mad.

Can't say that I blame him; stuff like that makes me feel bad.

No team out there wants to lose.  Let's give the guys a break.

Not dissect their every foible, error, and mistake.

Give them time to work it out; watch basketball instead...

Thank God for the Celtics and the fact that you're not dead.

Carl Beane; the Voice of Fenway for the last 10 years, dead at age 59.
