The 15

Humid enough for ya?

I hope that Kevin Garnett bites his tongue when talking about Celtics draft pick Jordan Walsh.

So long Hallsy and Fliggsy.

This Shams thing reminds me Martha Stewart assured me that Ben Gordon would go #2 overall in the 2004 draft.

A Selkie, a Vezina, a Jack Adams and 1st & 2nd Team All-Star slots for the B’s. None too shabby.

Not sure calling Smart the heartbeat of the team is the compliment it’s intended to be when that team has mostly underperformed in six straight playoff series, Dr. Mudge.

Alex Verdugo is closing in on the long-believed untouchable Red Sox team record of grandmothers dying during the season of five, currently held by Manny Ramirez.

There’s a time to compliment someone on their Throw Power rating in Madden, but it’s not in the immediate aftermath of their tragic untimely death.

Cakes are cooking for John Elway, Michele Timms, John Cusack, Mary Stuart Masterson, Danielle Brisebois, Elon Musk, Kenny Cunningham, Alessandro Nivola, Marvin Jones (Hi Marv!), Kellie Pickler, Kevin De Bruyne, and Elaine Thompson-Helah.

Malcolm Brogdon is still a #BleedGreen.

The best BBQ in Boston is in Winthrop. And the best Himalayan food in Winthrop is in Tewksbury!

If you stay ready you never have to GET ready…

Kay Adams sounds like Tom Haverford in that Dick’s Sporting Goods commercial. She does!

It’s fun to get dressed up.

Never trust a guy with Air Monarchs. It’s right up there with don’t play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city.

I hope Putin tells us if he got home safe from work or not.

Hey gang of transracial trailblazers, this week’s Phrase that Pays is, ‘I’m on that Obama-level, which means you can’t see me.’

‘Alec Regula’ sounds like a character name from that Harry Potter prequel series no one cared about.

Jazz hands!!

I like the Big Cat. Seems to like sports, pretends he’s from Chicago, keeps the show moving along…

Orange Line Update: Southbound delays of more than 30 minutes due to fire department activity near Tufts Medical Center. Riders are encouraged to use Green Line service between North Station and Back Bay

Trammell in the Hall of Fame without Whitaker is like Gehrig without Ruth, like Groucho without Harpo, like Burns without Allen, Rogers without Hammerstein.

Framingham’s Own Reilly Walsh. Definitely good in the handshake line. #sporting

Revs U-19 won MLS Next for the second straight year.

I just got sent a presentation from a company that wants to do business with mine that was voiced over by… Gary Tanguay.

We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels ‘cross the floor.
I was feeling kinda seasick.
But the crowd called out for more.
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray.

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale.
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale.

I have mixed feelings about Hall. While he was a good player he should have been much better considering he was the No 1 pick.

Plainridge Park Casino?

Random thought — the Angels have not had a captain since 1982 (Don Baylor). Um, Mike Trout? Hello? What are they waiting for?

Honk if you remember the Cosmic Muffin Darrell Martinie.

if Roseanne thinks the Jews don’t like fishing shows, how does she explain her buddy Tom Werner keeping Charlie Moore around?

Sometimes I sit around wondering what numbers will be left for the 2090 Boston Celtics to use on their team jerseys and then I remember the planet probably will be uninhabitable by then anyway.

The thing that really makes this upsetting is that he was a nice guy to the media.

Adama Sanogo!

Can Lucy be sued for advising taking the Red Sox money line every damn day?

The Dakota Kai Kairopractor is nuts.

French labor unions think Dondero should work more hours.

Best bet for the weekend: the dreaded, ‘Players Only’ closed door meeting.

Material from interviews, wire services, Twitter, Meta, other writers, league and team sources, Bill James, Joe Posnanski, BSMW posters Big Fat O & Jforb, and the members of #the15 were used in this column. Though I hoped for something to find I could see no maze to unwind.
