ETBlogs Sports: News flash: Bill Burt enters blog world

  • Matt · 2 years ago
    Glad to see you finally got a blog!

    What no mention of Randy Moss? How awesome is he going to be for the Patriots? I am truly excited to be a Boston sports fan.

    "Why wasn’t Jim Lonborg, the ace during the incredible Impossible Dream season, at the ceremony honoring the 1967 Red Sox on Opening Day?"
    well???

    Drew Bledsoe in the Hall of Fame? I know Canton is a little less exclusive than Cooperstown, but the only Hall of Fame that Drew belongs in is the Hall of Fame of Drive-Killing Interceptions.

    so, you answering those questions anytime soon or what?
  • Big B · 2 years ago
    Welcome to the world of blogging - you brave fool. Although you've requested "no cheap shots" expect them. It's part of the fun.
    Moss coming to the Pat's is going to be a big mistake. Just because he says how wonderful he is and all they great stuff he is going to bring to the table doesnt excuse the fact he is a punk. Expect him to snap by week 5.
    So who in the pen is coming down with sore shoulder syndrome to make room for John Lester?

    Congratulations on the Blog, I think. My first exposure to this corner of the internet, so dunno if I am responding properly.

    My guess is that Lonborg was not at the '67 Opening Day celebration because he was skiing???

    Good luck with this and I look forward to breaking the news of its existence to the n'ere do-wells that I hang with at 9's and various sporting venues.

    Congratulations, Bill:

    I concur with several of your readers that it's about time you got your own blog. And, I'm happy to write on your opening day. One question from me; Are the Yankees going to make a serious run for the division this year given the utter collapse of their rotation?

    All the best - John

    No John the Yanks are going to lay down and play dead. Get real buddy. Expect the Wizard of NY to reach into his bag and pull out a heart, courage, brains ... and a check book to buy a few arms. There's no place like home. There's no place like home. There's no place ....

    Hi Burt and welcome to the blogosphere.

    I just wanted to let you know that your RSS feed works and that I've added your blog to my newsreader successfully.

    I look forward to your comments on the Boston sports scene.

    Respectfully,

    Irv Arons

    $500 a pop for the WEEI gig!!! WOW and I thought major league ballplayers were way over paid!
    Also, I know as long as the Sox keep winning they are going to stick with Pedroia. Unfortunately this horrible trip he's on is only going to eventually crush his confidence and begin to hurt the club. Move him now.

    funny slant on the weekend that was.

    Hi Bill:

    It's nice they found something for you to do.
  • Bill Burt · 2 years ago
    I had to remove a few comments that crossed a line. Let's get back to sports. As noted earlier I will be answering any questions later today.
  • Martha Cadigan · 2 years ago
    Congratulations, Bill! Question: What is your opinion of Barry Bonds probably breaking Hank Aaron's homerun record this year, and how do you think this changes the history of baseball with the presumption that he was aided in this record breaker by the use of steroids? Does this change things for children as they see sports players as idols? (And for grown-ups for that matter?)

    Thanks.

    Billy boy,
    So your latest reporter to skip the LT snags a big job at the Herald (like JT) and you are taking over for him? Come on Billy Boy!

    Bill -
    This is the "Red Sox being Manny"... no slide, Crisp looking at a third strike (what happened to 'if it is close enough to get your bat on it'), Lugo swinging at a strike one a foot out of the zone... basic fundementals are lacking all around.
