What a game. This team is a lot of fun to watch, and their teamwork; toughness; and selflessness shines.

With the exception of the 1990s, Boston/New England has now won a title in every decade since the founding of the National League in 1876. I have listed the very early Braves and Red Sox teams by the names we use today.

1870s: Braves.
1880s: Braves.
1890s: Braves.
1900s: Red Sox.
1910s: Red Sox, Braves.
1920s: Bruins.
1930s: Bruins.
1940s: Bruins.
1950s: Celtics.
1960s: Celtics.
1970s: Bruins, Celtics.
1980s: Celtics.
1990s: 🙁
2000s: Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics.
2010s: Bruins, Red Sox, Patriots.
2020s: Celtics, ???

A pretty great history, I think.

PS: The Boston Bruins are now on the clock with the longest drought in Boston.
The 1990s were very dark days indeed. Especially in 1993. I'm still in disbelief that the Canadiens had 10 wins in OT! And then you had the Jays winning back to back championships, and the Yankees dynasty.

At least the Lakers didn't win any titles in the 90s. And the music was good in the early part of the decade.

Not really a basketball fan. Who is that?

The parade being Friday and Boston is going to be in the middle of a heat wave. If you go make sure you hydrate folks

If you go don't come by the Pro Shop.

I prefer to be home sooner rather than later.

PS Again, I'm no basketball fan, and I realize Kyrie Irving is... special.

But he was a class act at game's end. I don't care what anyone says,



If you can view my photo attachments, the guy hugging my co-worker DeShaun was literally *crying* with joy.

As I did when the Wings won it all in 1997, and when the Bruins at last inhabited the firmament as champions in 2011 after 39 tortuous, tortured, punch in the gut and repeatedly kicked in the teeth years, largely courtesy of Harry Sinden and Mike O'Connell.
