Schilling rips ALDS umps again
By: Jerry Spar

Former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling, following up his prescient comments about the ability (or lack thereof) of ALDS umpires, posted a story this afternoon in his 38 Pitches blog, expounding on his criticism of C.B. Bucknor & Co. Bucknor blew a couple of calls at first base in Thursday night's Game 1, a 5-0 Red Sox loss. He is scheduled to work behind the plate in Friday night's Game 2.

 

On Wednesday, Schilling wrote: "To be honest, one of my biggest fears is the umpiring crew. This is about as bad a crew as I have ever seen assembled. Joe West, for all his pomp and circumstance, can ump a game. C.B. Buckner? Greg Gibson? Not so much. I’m blown away that A) They made the postseason and B) They are umping what I think will be the most-...

Julien: Rask a 'possibility' for Saturday
By: Joe Haggerty

WILMINGTON — Bruins coach Claude Julien put his players through a grueling sprint-filled practice on Friday morning, and said afterward the challenging practice was designed "to grab [the players'] attention right now." Julien also said that rookie goaltender Tuukka Rask is a "possibility" to make his first start of the season in Saturday night's game against the Islanders. Thomas has struggled with a 1-2 record, a 4.00 goals-against average and an .868 save percentage, and a Rask start could allow the reigning Vezina Trophy winner to find his bearings.

King on D&H: Denver D confuses
By: Jerry Spar

Sports Illustrated's Peter King appeared on the Dale & Holley show to talk about the Patriots' game at Denver on Sunday and other NFL news. King is impressed with the league-best Broncos defense and the way the players have adapted to new defensive coordinator Mike Nolan.



"What Mike Nolan is doing, he's playing a 3-4 on obvious running downs and then a 4-3 the rest of the time," King said. "A lot of times, what he's doing is, it's not quite a zone blitz philosophy where you move one of the defensive linemen back into coverage and a linebacker or defensive back comes up. He'll move a defensive lineman out of his gap just at the snap of the ball, move him into a neighboring gap and have somebody else flood that gap. So, all of a sudden there's this moment of indecision for the guards, the center, the tackle. 'Should I stay with my guy, or am I moving and picking up this next guy that's coming in.' It's created a lot of...

By: Mike Petraglia

FOXBORO — On stop 29 of his tour of all 32 teams, NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith visited with Patriots players on Friday and told them to be prepared in the event of an owners lockout in 2011. "When it comes to the issue of the lockout, it's why we've asked every player to save 25 percent of their salary this year and 25 percent of their salary next year," Smith said. "It's why the players voted to increase their dues and hold their royalty checks." For more, visit the football blog It Is What It Is.
