I feel like I am 11

By Kevhines | Published: 6/12/2008

I haven’t watched a full NBA basketball game on TV in over 15 years. But I have watched two in the last week. Last night the Boston Celtics came back from a 24 point deficit to beat the Los Angeles Lakers. They now lead the best of 7 series, 3 to 1. I haven’t been [...]

Another Kevin Hines: Three Otters in One Week

By Kevhines | Published: 2/18/2008

So I have a google alert to send me any web sites that come up with my name. Most of the time I get emails about the Kevin Hines who lived after jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge and now tours the country telling people not to commit suicide. Actually, his name is actually John [...]

Mike Tyson: Philosopher

By Kevhines | Published: 2/5/2008

“Everyone has a plan ’till they get punched in the mouth.”    This is one of the best quotes I have ever heard. Michael Strahan said it after his New York Giants beat the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII but it is originally a Mike Tyson quote.

Red Sox’s Believe it or Not!

By Kevhines | Published: 10/30/2007

The Red Sox won the World Series this past Sunday. This is the second World Series win for the Red Sox in 4 years. That is even more impressive if you can put yourself in the sad mind state of most of Red Sox nation 5 years ago. When the Red Sox lost game 7 [...]

We won the American League East!

By Kevhines | Published: 10/8/2007

So last Wednesday I was at home watching game 1 of the Red Sox/Angels playoff series. The Red Sox ace pitcher dominated the injury plagued Angels. He pitched a complete game and shut out the other team. Watching the final inning when he came in and finished off the Angels for game 1 I found [...]

My First Sports Love

By Kevhines | Published: 8/2/2007

The Boston Celtics have made me care about them again. Basketball was the first sport I really followed, and this was around 85-86 when the Celtics won the NBA Championship with a team that included Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and Danny Ainge. Eventually these players all had to retire and the Celtics lost their next [...]

Master Haggler

By Kevhines | Published: 10/10/2006

The only good thing about how poorly the Boston Red Sox did this season was that I got to go see a game at Fenway Park. Red Sox tickets are the highest priced tickets in Major League Baseball. Also, it is the smallest stadium so there are the fewest number of tickets. On top of [...]
