‘Member? Perfection No Longer Exists In Boston.

Whas Happened In Sports Last Night

• NBA Playoffs 2008: Detroit flexes their muscle and beats Boston 103-97 to give the Celtics their first defeat at home. This series is going seven for sure, which means Boston will have played 21 games if they even reach the finals. Think they’ll have enough in the tank for the Spurs, or Lakers? [Boston Herald]
• Copa Libertadores: Santos FC’s run in the Copa ends in a bittersweet battle as they beat Mexican club America 1-0, but lose on aggregate, 2-1. For America, they provide their fans a substantial reason to keep cheering this year. [IHT]
• FMF Playoff: Monterrey were held to a 1-1 draw at home against Santos. Do you know how difficult it is to keep track of the entire fucking world in playoff mode right now? Anyway, Santos will probably win at home and steal the clash on aggregate. [Reuters]
• MLB 2008: Johan Santana became familiar with the phrase “you got lit up” after he allowed three earned runs in the seventh inning, inevitably losing the game. NY Mets 2, Atlanta 4. [ESPN]
