The Red Sox rotation is going through a little upheaval right now. But not Josh Beckett. This guy's job isn't going anywhere.

It wasn't one for the history books. But the Bruins, while integrating some new faces and welcoming back some old ones, got the better of Colorado and opened the 08-09 season with a 5-4 win.

Movie mogul Samuel Goldwyn once famously said of preachy movies, "If you want to send a message, call Western Union.". Well, Western Union is now out of the telegram business, so the Celtics had to send a message to Detroit some other way, playing stifling defense, fundamental offense, and grinding out a win that - well, that sends the message - that they just might actually be the best team in the East.

Any gripes anyone has with Curt Schilling - his ego, his politics, his whatever - roll 'em up in a ball and store them somewhere for a while. Because the man is clutch.

Say "goodbye" to the Idiot with the beard, the flowing locks of hair, the speed, the ridiculous lead-off numbers, and - yes - the throwing arm of an arthritic grandmother.

Yes, Bostonist knows its only April and we've got a long way to go this baseball season, but things are looking good for the boys so far. With the last two nights bringing victory to the Sox over the Baltimore Orioles, the Red Sox are currently in first place in the AL East. Sure, Baltimore is only one game behind, but the pinstriped boys from the Bronx are three games back and are feeling the...

No way in hell was there going to be a celebration like this without Bostonist being on hand to witness it. By this point, a full day after the celebration and game has gone by and there's nothing that can be said or written that wasn't already put to paper, or typed on a keyboard. For an entire afternoon the masses at Fenway basked in the air of an absolutely perfect day for both reflection, and baseball.
