Bedard's Daily Briefing 04.08.19: Red Sox win (hooray!), C's beat up, Leafs-Bruins on deck

Good morning!

A few random thoughts while I wonder 

• The Red Sox finally got their third win of the season and it only took 11 games and a, ho-hum, 1-0 victory over the Diamondbacks.


• Seriously, has a team this talented ever had to grind so hard for all three wins to this point?


• Figures: the man who has the best start for the Greatest Staff Ever was the throwaway fill-in starter (Hector Velazquez).


• Of course the Red Sox are not going to get booed on Tuesday, and they shouldn't. But all bets are off after the first pitch...


• Having two starters leave with injuries in a meaningless game ... not optimal for the Celtics.


• Will those injuries change anything?


• Yes ... playoff hockey is here.


• Some questions for the Patriots.


• Revs ... yeah.


• Good call in Auburn-Virginia, but brutal miss on the double dribble.


• Frozen Four starts Thursday.
