RED SOX INJURY UPDATES

The Red Sox were rained out tonight. The game will be played as the first part of a day-night doubleheader Thursday afternoon at 12:35.

Jed Lowrie had surgery on his wrist and is out 6 to 8 more weeks. But Julio Lugo should be coming back soon.

Rocco Baldelli's injury woes continue as he was placed on the 15 Day DL with a hamstring strain. Jeff Bailey has been summoned from AAA Pawtucket to take his roster spot.

CELTICS COME THROUGH, BUT SHOULD C'S FANS STILL BE NERVOUS?

Ray Allen's winning 3 pointer made all the highlight reels, both locally and nationally, this morning. But I for one, am losing my positivity on the Celtics' chances, even in this series.

It's hard to be negative after a 118-115 gut-wrenching, hard fought, clutch victory. But it's hard to be positive when the Bulls split in Boston, and they've put 220 points up in 2 games.

Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo had ridiculously good games. Allen with 30 points (28 after halftime), and Rondo with a triple double. Rondo is the 3rd person EVER to have a triple double and 5+ steals. The other two are Gary Payton and Magic Johnson.

But the Celtics won the 2008 Championship with defense. They won 62 games with defense. And now we hear that Leon Powe is out for the rest of the season with a torn ACL.

The C's are going to win this series, but it won't be pretty. And it won't be fast, either. So while other fans are jubilant after last night's amazingly entertaining show, I'm not so thrilled.
