Next I will either be commenting on how the Celtics blew it or, how they can beat the Rockets/Warriors.
The Tampa Bay Devil Rays’ rookie phenom Willy Adames made his major league debut this past Tuesday night against the Red Sox and Chris Sale. Sales struck him out the first time but he homered in his second at bat. I can’t say I’ve seen a happier kid round the bases. Good for him! Of note: Sale struck him out on three pitches his next time up.
If the Red Sox’ Rafael Devers was on their Triple-A affiliate Pawtucket Red Sox, he would be the youngest player on their active roster. If the Red Sox’ Rafael Devers was on their Double-A affiliate Portland Sea Dogs, he would be the youngest player on their active roster. He hit his 9th homerun with the big boys earlier in the week.
Trivia #1 hint: He was inducted into the HOF in 2015.

LeBron was waiting at the scorers’ table for a whistle so he could check into the game the other night, Game 5 at the Garden. Where was he?

You could see people trying to see around him. What a dink.
