Aren't you thankful for stuff? So are Mass residents (in various ways), a little girl for her dog, Yankee-haters, etc.

Now, why is Eric Wilbur channeling Dan Shaughnessy? He actually said "Interest has faded" in the Red Sox. We'll be the first to say there is work to be done on the 2011 team. However, Fenway will be banged out on Opening Day, hordes of Sox fans will appear wherever the team travels to next season, and unless there's a huge soccer riot involving Liverpool Football Club, the average member of Red Sox Nation won't give a crap about soccer. Go interview Dustin Pedroia and find out if he's healthy again. That matters.
For the second time in two weeks, a member of the New York Yankees admitted to getting on base by faking getting hit by a pitch. First it was the 21st Centry Mr. Yankee, Derek Jeter. Now it's Jorge Posada. Posada grimaced after a ball bounced toward his back leg and umpire Mike Everitt gave up 1st base to the NYY catcher. Both examples of cheating gamesmanship took place during games with the Tampa Bay Rays. [Globe]
He even has a Derek Jeter tattoo. Because sports should dictate politics, you must clearly let this affect your vote.
Tampa Bay loaded the bases with one out in the first inning. Ah, nevermind. Friday's game was washed away and will be made up as part of a doubleheader on Sunday. Josh Beckett, Clay Buchholz and Jon Lester will start the three games versus Tampa Bay. It remains a mystery to Bostonist why Lester had to take the mound. Defer to the meteorologist umpire because we have nothing on that one.
Since the rain nixed Friday's Sox game, all Bostonist has to worry about is the cost of pitching and beer. Both are expensive. According to OverTheMonster.com, Fenway Park has the most expensive beer in the MLB if you factor in the team's winning percentage.
Hey, after five consecutive losses to Texas and Toronto, Red Sox fans will take any kind of win from a Brad Penny start. Even against a Baltimore Orioles squad that the Globe says Boston is 28-6 against in their last 34 games. However, if Penny reaches the seventh inning allowing one unearned run on five hits in every start then you can expect to see him get the ball every fifth day. Penny had already thrown 76 pitches in the fourth inning but somehow managed to stay around long enough to hit 97 mph in the seventh innning.
Why is Derek Jeter making this face? Is it just because the Yankees have now lost all seven games to the Red Sox this year? Is it because first place in the AL East just changed hands? Or is he just going loco after having to stand in the field for long inning after long inning while his pitching staff lets the Sox run around the bases?
Rudy Giuliani might be out of the presidential spotlight, but one of his comments regarding the Boston Red Sox is back to haunt him thanks to the Topps Baseball Card Company.
Ya know the old theories that those who are dating slowly begin to resemble each other? Tom Brady's Stetson campaign leaves us with the sinking feeling that he's turning into the clone of his girlfriend, panty model Gisele Bundchen. Give the above image of Brady as a steaming slab of manliness a long once-over. You'll see he's channeling Bundchen with the come-hither stare, the eye color that has an intensity courtesy of Photoshop, the...
It looks like just might be a higher power looking down on the MLB postseason. He/She/It is a Red Sox fan and, judging from the sight of Derek Jeter slapping like mad at the bugs descending upon him at the Jake on Friday night, any higher powers out there have a wicked sense of humor.
It was all going beautifully, in a manner that would make any Sox fan proud: Yankees roll into town for a late-season showdown. The Sox, boosted by a division lead and recent series of dramatic wins at Fenway Park, seemingly plunge their bats into the heart of New York baseball by taking a decisive lead in front of a riotous baseball crowd. After seven innings, Boston is five runs ahead and sitting pretty after a...
Were we sore baseball losers, we might snicker about how Johnny Damon's version of a home run is about as wussy as his arm. We could hypothesize about what Yankee operative snuck into the Red Sox clubhouse to tamper with the Icy Hot Manny Ramirez and Bobby Kielty were using to prevent their backs from seizing up during play. We might even politely ask Cameron Diaz to quit jinxing our team and instead focus on...
We have a confession to make: we didn't pay a lot of attention to last night's Home Run Derby. Our tolerance for Chris Berman yelling "back back back" is low. Our desire to see kayakers crashing into each other in San Francisco Bay was present, but not overwhelming. And without Papi, what's the point? So congratulations to Anaheim's Vlad Guerrero, who won the Derby, despite the fact that no home runs landed in the huge...
Well, the Red Sox got to Felix Hernandez. That's the good news.
-- One down! After the five-game pounding that the Red Sox took from the Yankees at Fenway last August, Friday's matchup was more than just a game. It was more than just the first rivalry game of the season. It was about avenging the embarrassment that continued to smart for Sox fans over the winter and into the early season. The game itself was a battle of the best kind: one in which we came...
If you’re hiking, consider charging up your iPod, as Seattlest finds out that a man lost during a hike was found by the glow of his iPod. That cleverness seems to be devoid in cops who were using police cruiser instant messaging clients - although we imagine IMs “so are you nakie” to be included in cop shows, just for realism. If only the cops were busting the Hummer-driving jerk who made a poor...
Torontoist immediately wins our heart by using the word "Jackass" in a headline. In fact, we love their use of it so much that we're going to use it as much as possible throughout this post. For example, it looks like there are Toronto-area jackasses besides those who misuse the sidewalk: look at the crap on sale on Toronto's craigslist. But it looks like Toronto doesn't contain the kind of jackasses who pee in public...
Coming from someone who liberally threw around the "traitor" and "judas" labels, among others, Bostonist should probably be the last one to talk about how much of a raw deal Mr. Damon got from the crowd last night. But when you hear that one of the most beloved players on your team decided to sign with the enemy, of course there will be a knee-jerk reaction. Of course you'll call home names—and probably names worse...
