Note to the reader: It's never a good idea to write anything when you're pissed off, whether it's a letter to an ex-girlfriend, an e-mail to your boss or, in this case, a sports column that will reach a national audience. To prove my point, here's a column I wrote the morning after Boston lost Game 4 to Cleveland. I'm not nearly as irate anymore and, truthfully, I never wanted to become the proverbial turd in the punch bowl for a successful Boston team. After all, that's Dan Shaughnessy's job.
At least the headline writer and Dan didn't use the word 'Eerie' again. Even the first time that clever term appeared was once too many.

So can we expect another mailed-in Shank piece on the Celtics' sixth straight road playoff loss?
