We try to be optimistic at Bostonist even when it comes to the Red Sox during their worst September since 1926. It's what 5-19 now? We don't want to look at the results again to count. Do you blame us? The Sox lost to Baltimore last night, a "AAA" team according to Dennis and Callahan, and Tampa Bay beat the Yankees to create a tie with two games left. Someone named Robert Andino, batting ninth, hit a three-run home run in the sixth inning to put Baltimore up for good in a 6-3 loss. Did we mention it was an inside the park home run? more ›

It seems that the dismal Boston Bruins have traded their sandy colored haired team captain, Joe Thornton, to the San Jose Sharks last night in a move that shocked many hockey fans. Bostonist will admit that we don’t spend enough quality time with the NHL, thus the lack of posts... more ›

After bringing home a Superbowl title and a Worlds Series win, Boston sports teams have had an excellent year. As we grow closer to the one-year anniversary of the Reverse of the Curse, Boston sports players have been confusing the hell out of Bostonist this past week. The Patriots training camp started up today with some big gapping holes in their defensive lineup. Last week, Tedy Bruschi decided to opt out of this season... more ›

There’s nothing like a little (*ahem*) VB roaming around in Beacon Hill to get you going in the morning. Nothing like it, except for Bob Lobel’s sports commentary on WBZ 4’s Sports Final. Well, OK, there’s something a bit more idiotic about those live on location spots that VB has used to spice up Fox 25’s morning newscast. Bostonist has been known on a number of occasions to sit in front of the TV and... more ›
