Manny being childish

Jimmy: If McCormick is fine with it, we should also be fine with it.

Red wonders if we're really seeing a sudden personality change or some management propaganda to set us all up for them not re-signing Manny when his contract's up.

'Course, what do they know down there in ma's basement? The Real Sports Writer, a.k.a. CHB, DEMANDS ACTION NOW; his only question is: Firing squad or hangman?

Danny Downer makes his triumphant return

After a day of pretending to be happy, the true CHB is back, with a column reminding us that it's all downhill from here, that Boston teams used to really, really suck, that kids today just can't appreciate how badly those teams used to suck back in the last century and that Bill Belichick sure sucks.

Meanwhile, Seth Gitell wonders why no special Celtics section in the Globe today.

You know, the Celtics could crash and burn

Shaughnessy's hoping against hope, now that the royalties on his Curse books are dwindling down.

The Globe's own Debbie Downer

That would be, of course, Dan Shaughnessy, who, on the possible eve of the first Celtics championship in ages, feels compelled to bring up two decades of Celtics failures, from Len Bias dropping dead from cocaine to Bill Walton breaking his foot. It's surprising he didn't mention Rick Pitino (UPDATE: He did mention Pitino, my faith in his ability to leave no depressing stone unturned is restored).

CHB and Bob Ryan go head to head

Through the miracle of the Interwebs, Don lets you watch Bob Ryan's and Dan Shaughnessy's takes on last night's Celtics/Lakers game. His conclusion:

... I wish Danny boy would take a buy-out and start writing for the NY Post or something. Moron.

Dan Shaughnessy: Yes or no?

Boston Sports Media Watch holds the vote.

There's a lot the CHB doesn't know about Cleveland

The Outraged Liberal, a Cleveland native, couldn't get past the fifth paragraph in Shaughnessy's column today because it's so riddled with factual errors about his birthplace.

A couple days ago, Rob expressed disgust with the way Dan Shaughnessy compared Kevin Garnett to Alex Rodriguez. He e-mailed Shaughnessy to let him know. Shaughnessy responded:

sorry -- no time for fanboy rants.

Which Rob also analyzes, concluding:

... Who else wants to start a collection/bake sale to raise enough money to get Carl Everett back here and pay him to kick Shaughnessy in the nads?

Bob Ryan slaps CHB upside the head

Could Bob Ryan be blogging about this Curse Boy train wreck of a column when he writes the following?

Have we no institutional memory? People are beginning to act as if something odd is going on in the Celtics-Hawks series, as if we've never seen this before.

If so, that would be so cool.

Dan Shaughnessy has all the time in the world

Because, as Dan Shaughnessy Watch notes, he keeps writing about it:

... Time travel has become Dan's most recent obsession, so much so that one has to wonder if it has bumped Curt Schilling down a peg on the CHB-obsession meter. (If I am counting right, there was only one dig at Schilling all week). ...
