BU Wins 2nd Leg Of Home and Home Vs Merrimack

Boston University knocked off Merrimack 6-4 last night. Props to the Warriors, as they trailed 4-0 after 1, and cut it to 5-4 midway through the 3rd. BU and the Mack split their home and home, both winning at their own barn. BU outshot the Mack 34-29, but in the past that would have looked like 39-9 in favor of the Terriers.

Merrimack falls to 3-2 in Hockey East play, good enough for 6th in the league. UMASS Amherst still leads the way at 4-2 in the league. For more Merrimack information, check out an interview with Captain Chris Barton from earlier this week.

We Hate BC Tonight And Sunday!

Their cheerleaders aren't even that hot. They are okay. I mean, I wouldn't say no.

Usually we like BC, not tonight as they take on our TEAM!! Merrimack is on fire right now. After big wins against Holy Cross, Army, UConn and Vermont, the Warriors now dip into their challenging portion of the schedule. Boston College and Merrimack will start a home and home tonight in Chestnut Hill, they wrap up the series Sunday in North Andover.

Now, I am going to go out on a ledge here and say Merrimack will take one of these games. That would be huge. They need to nut-up against #12 BC, and get at least one win. Next week it stays challenging with an H and H with BU - thus these Eagles game are that much more important.

Tonight in Boston will be great. It doesn't get better as a Merrimack fan to go into Chestnut Hill and watch the Warriors destroy the Eagles in front of 1,200 screaming fans. This game will be poorly attended (as usual for Warriors games!) so we don't need to worry about lunatic fans acting as that 'extra man' on the ice.

Another prediction - although I have utmost confidence in the Warriors winning, they will be outshot in this series 81-25. Haha. Watch for it!

Wish We Had A Shortstop

Jimmy Rollins hits a remarkable 2-out 2-run walkoff double against the Dodgers, Phils 5-4 winners. Phils lead 3-1. On their way to the Series. Wish we had a shortstop like that. Wish Broxton could have closed the door. Who wants a five game NLCS?

Wish we had a catcher like this. Jeff Mathis slams an rbi walkoff double to sink the Yanks, 5-4 in 11 innings. Thank God, because after Mo got out of a bases loaded jam with no outs, I thought the series was over. Still pissed about Arod and Jeter hitting homers tonight. Am I being too negative? Should be more positive after a 59-0 win over the Oilers/Titans and a Merrimack hockey player being named Hockey East Player of the Week. Jeez!
