We had been at a birthday party for a couple school buddies (here’s a big 4th birthday shout out to Jack and Sydney!!!) of H during the game yesterday. We checked the score on our cell phones periodically and as the party was winding down, the Sox were tied 6-6 in the 10th. We got […]

Zinedine Zidane in his final game (ever) for the French World Cup squad took his head and rammed it into an Italian player and was issued a red card for his unsportsmanlike action. Good-bye Zizou and France. Of course, all Red Sox fans witnissing this knew the outcome of this final before the rest of […]

Deal or No Deal, the game that asks, “Are you greedy, stupid or both?” is far more entertaining when you discover the games within the game.

Game 1: Imagine the contestent as GM for a day. You have 26 players with various salaries that must be purged Florida Marlins style. The banker is the teams […]

The last day or so these are the words that jump out when reading blogs or news stories with personal accounts from the Gulf Coast. If you’ve been reading or hearing reports from BBC News - the view of this tragedy is more graphic, real and heartbreaking than anything you’re likely to hear from […]

Rap/sing using your best Tone Loc lower register:
Ton-y […]

Rumour has it that with the Fenway “Curse” reversed, our local scribe Dan Shaughnessy is on the move to establish a whole new bag of quasi-Curses. And we ask you, what better town to propagate his particular brand of tomfoolery than Chicago.

Word on the street is that he’s moving to either the Sun Times or […]

Couple of interesting items. First, a producer from Red Sox Stories (on NESN) sent us an email yesterday inquiring about our feature “Red Sox Baby Boom” and the Globe story “Birth of a New Nation”. Who know’s if these stories will make the cut but we’re just thrilled to be in the orbit of positive […]

This blog entry will not mention suspect pitching or ninth inning disaster scenarios, not today because there was a grand celebration in Boston and nothing coming out of Texas last night can compare. With the Pops, the esplanade and a dazzling fireworks display over the Charles between Boston and Cambridge, the bases were covered (sorry […]
