Over the month or two, from draft night or to the biggest trade for one player in NBA history, we have seen the Celtics improve their team so dramatically that they might be in the hunt for their 17th NBA Championship. With a starting lineup, of Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Rajon Rondo and Kendrick Perkins. You have a real contender in the Eastern Conference.
Wait...What....Reggie Miller. Thats right folks, let us stack this starting five even more. Lets go with, KG, Pierce, Allen, Reggie Miller, and Kendrick Perkins. The only man in that starting five you have no idea who the heck he is, is Kendrick Perkins.
The Celtics are going to make some noise in Boston and it has been a long, long, LONG time since a lot of noise has been coming out of the Fleet Center, or now, the TD Banknorth Garden.
PS: If you ever want to venture out to see this team play, make sure your over 25. Otherwise no beer or alcohol for you. They have problems with fake id's. Folks...They have big problems and they arent the fact that they cant tell fake from real... It is Boston what can you say.

Alex Rodriguez and his 500 Home Runs
Mark down the date of August 4th, 2007 because that is when Alex Rodriguez hit his 500th career home run. At 32 years and 8 days he is the youngest player by 330 days to hit his 500th career home run and only the third man to do so in a Yankee uniform and only A-Rod and Mickey Mantle hit their 500th in Yankee Stadium. It sure took a while, but it was worth the wait. The first pitch Alex saw from Kyle Davies he crushed over the left field wall. You can't help but think that if he is healthy for the remainder of his career he will be the only man to ever hit 800 home runs and I personally hope he does it wearing a Yankee uniform. Now many thought that Ken Griffey Jr. would be the all time home run king (he was certainly on pace), but injuries cost him any chance. If Griffey didn't get hurt he would have broken it and I think the same is true for A-Rod. Not to mention the best part is that there is no suspicion of cheating on the part of A-Rod. That idiot Jose Canseco says he has "stuff" on A-Rod, but I personally think it is just a ploy to sell more books. A-Rod has done it the right way and if he does someday break the soon to be Barry Bonds home run record we can all be proud to say that he did it the right way. A huge congrats to A-Rod goes out from Bill and I and we both hope to see him hit #600 while wearing a Yankee uniform.
