For a mid-April Saturday with no rings or trophies being awarded, it has been one of the most incredible sports days in the Northeast I can ever remember. In Boston, the Red Sox, Bruins, and Celtics were all in action, and after yesterday's heroic triumph over evil, what a day for celebration! For New York, the Yankees, Knicks, Nets, Mets and Devils were all playing and gave fans a great show.
Here's the rundown:
- Boston Red Sox triumphantly return to Fenway with a great ceremony, dramatic three-run homer in the bottom of the eighth to win it; Ortiz returns and contributes, Buchholz goes to 4-0
- New York Yankees win in 11 innings; Kuroda pitches a gem and Rivera saves the game
- New York Knicks matched up with the Boston Celtics in playoff action
- Brooklyn Nets trampled the Bulls in a dominant playoff debut
- New York Rangers win in a shootout
- New Jersey Devils win big
- Boston Bruins returned to home-ice action with an emotional ceremony and played a great game
- New York Mets played a great game with the Nationals and at least got to see Bryce Harper show some magic
