[caption id="attachment_2232" align="alignleft" width="224"] Celtics fans may not get to see THIS again, but Brian Scalabrine's retirement and migration to CSN means the return of a player whose popularity defies both his own talent and logic in general. (basketbawful.blogspot.com)[/caption]
Bust out the "Hope" signs. Dust off those ironic posters you used to bring with you to the TD Garden. Heck, gas up the duck boats while you're at it.
Brian Scalabrine is coming back to Boston... sort of.
Fans hoping to see basketball's version of the red-headed stepchild once again jogging eagerly up and down the court in a green jersey for 13 minutes or so every night are in for some disappointment: according to multiple sources, Scal's retiring and joining the CSN broadcast team.
