--The BPD must love that Burger King commercial that punks customers with the information that BK has discontinued the Whopper. Upon hearing that information, the customers promptly freak out. Perhaps a man thought he wasn't going to get his Whopper in Dorchester last night. Police had to go to the Burger King on Washington Street when a guy returned to the BK after security officers tossed him. He assaulted them and had weed on him.......

--Not every day is a crimefighting day, at least not in Methuen last week. A sergeant for the Methuen PD was on duty - while watching the Patriots play a preseason game on TV. One could argue that it was fine if nothing was happening, but other officers joined him, and only two officers were left on duty. They must have been rookies.

A bullet struck a woman in the neck while she was leaving a Dorchester Burger King on Sunday night. Latoya Johnson's 4-year-old son was with her. Police are saying that she was "in the wrong place at the wrong time" and that the bullet was likely a stray. The child was covered in his mother's blood.

So, assuming he gets Josh Beckett money (and, hopefully pitches better than Beckett), we......

The initials "GM" have taken on an entirely new meaning for the Red Sox of late. "Gigantic Mess" seems appropriate. It's been two weeks since the press conference where we saw Theo Epstein depart the position everyone assumed he'd hold until at least his twenty-year reunion at Yale. It's been two weeks since we saw principal owner John Henry, at the very same press conference, speak in a manner of disbelief usually reserved for those......

Coming off a six-game road winning streak, fans of the Red Sox had a weekend of baseball, fireworks, and (Fenway) franks to look forward to. Of course, the Indians did come in and put a damper on things, taking two of three in the first series. The tribe rode the back of Travis Hafner on their way to those two wins. But - credit where credit is due here - the Indians had one Mr.......
