Most of the local Buzz around here lately concerns the Celtics World Championship victory in Game six against the Lakers by 30+ points. The game was on the 17th n it was the 17th title won. (Last in '86). It's being called "Sweet Seventeen." .

.I wasn't really paying much attention all season until they made the playoffs. Remember back about World Series Baseball time I had the rally thought that I wondered if the Red Sox, Patriots, Bruins, n Celtics could all win big in the same sports year? Well two within a year of time is pretty decent, I think, with the other two major teams at least doing fairly well. .

Really, Boston teams all doing so well consistently is a recent phenomenon. We've been getting used to waiting for decades to see any action, now New England has become quite the sports hotspot. Being able to talk sports is a prerequisite to living here. .

Then there's depressing sports news that Schill (Mr. Bloody Sock) is going in for shoulder surgery to allieviate pain, n may be all done pitching. I hope he at least gets to coach- There's always Cape League Summer fun here where we see what college kids do with wooden bats just before drafting into the big leagues. .

Anyway, I hope the local sports successes continue to keep us entertained.
