    Good to hear from you, Saul. It's always nice to see more Orange pride around here, and Boston pride of course. Feel free to get in touch with me via Twitter @dioselev.

    Good man. If we don't have any NBA this year, my basketball attention will be fully focused on the CAA.

    Let's hope my attention is split, though,

    No problem. Hopefully the Sox will give us something positive to write about this offseason and next season, especially since the most heinous collapse of all time.
