Commissioner Rob Manfred got people’s attention with today’s ruling. Major League Baseball announced today that Yankees reliever Aroldis Chapman has been suspended for 30 games for violating the league’s new Domestic Violence policy.

Local High School Shows You Exactly How to Lose a State Championship Game. (Video)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Sorry, I couldn’t help it. I know I’m suppose to feel bad for these kids but hey, you reap what you sow. You don’t inadvertently throw a ball up in the air because you think time has expired. Its never over until the clock says it is. Shame on the Burrillville coach for not reminding his players of this prior to breaking the huddle on the next to last…
Doc’s Daily Blurb: Kyrie Wants Out of Cleveland. GOOD!
The Cavs are a disaster. Its not good when your second and third best players want out of town. It looks like David Blatt wasn’t the problem after all. This team has a major chemistry issue and it starts with Lebron. James runs the show in Cleveland. GM David Griffin and coach Tyronn Lue are puppets. They work for Lebron and do what he wants. Owner Dan Gilbert allows it…
Black and Yellow Blog: The Bruins Paid a Steep Price for Two Mediocre Players.
The Bruins gave up future assets for two average players in Liles and Stempniak. (Image courtesy of CBS local) Let me start off by saying that I can understand why Don Sweeney didn’t trade Loui Eriksson. I don’t agree with the decision but the Bruins are a playoff contender. It would have been hard to take a lesser package for Eriksson knowing that the team is in contention and…

So what should the Bruins ask for in return for Eriksson? The conversation with…
Doc’s Daily Rants: Weekend Edition.
Donnie Sweets will have a lot to ponder in the next 24 hours. 1. To call Steph Curry ridiculous would be an understatement. He is the best shooter we’ve seen since Larry Bird and when it’s all said and done, he could be better than Bird. 2. The Celtics win over the Heat was huge yesterday because that’s the team the Celtics have to ward off if they want to…

Idiot of The Day: Dexter Fowler (Outfielder, Chicago Cubs)
People around the baseball world are applauding Dexter Fowler for being a “team” player because he took a one year, $8 million dollar deal with the Cubs yesterday. Team player?? The guy is an idiot!

Doc’s Daily Rants for 2/26/16
Courtesy of Larry Johnson/WEEI Pablo could be a pretty good pulling guard for the Patriots. 1. What a shit show that Republican debate was last night. No wonder the rest of the world hates us. That’s why I’m an Independent. 2. Make it nine in a row at home for the C’s after last night’s 112-107 win over the Bucks. They’ve got the next four at the Garden and they…
