Think back to the glory days of '04, when an odd phenomenon swept across Red Sox Nation. The day after we realized that our beloved boys of summer-turned-autumn were heading to the World Series, many a bleary-eyed Sox fan remarked that winning the Series would be amazing, unheard of, astounding. But there was an anti-climactic twinge to the remarks, because Shaughnessy's curse had already been broken for some of the crowd. The Sox had already...

It's been said that tonight is going to feature the loudest and longest round of applause to hit Fenway in all of 2007. We disagree - we think it will happen either this weekend or in September, when Joe Torre comes to get Roger Clemens in the fourth inning - but tonight's going to be special. Tonight, the Sox welcome back Trot Nixon, stalwart of the 2004 Championship team and one of the core members...

Bostonist explained last week the challenge that is describing the Ryan Montbleau Band's multi-genre sound, noting that "one never knows what the band's going to come up with next." Odds are good that the 700 people crowded into the sold-out Paradise Rock Club on Saturday night could come up with several hundred ways to describe what they heard.

Home for a very brief, and wet, four-game homestand, the Red Sox toed up with the Oakland Athletics before heading off on the last road trip of the season. The Sox dropped two of the games, both of which were painful. Game One showcased another unknown pitcher Boston had never seen before, Joe Blanton, and kept the Boston bats relatively silent and baffled. This continued the trend of seeing the Boston offense fall flat on its face whenever a new arm appears on the bump. Speaking of trends, Bostonist was hoping Curt Schilling's performance had turned the corner after the stellar job in NY a little over a week ago, thereby bucking his losing trend. Sorry, no such luck. Schilling gave up six runs on his way to loss number 8.

Yesterday the Boston Globe announced that it was completing a deal that would purchase a 49% share in Metro Boston for $16.5 Million. The New York Times owned Boston Globe will control nearly half of the Metro’s operation in the Boston location only. The Metro free newspapers operate domestically are in Boston, Philadelphia, and New York. The deal has more to do with advertising revenue. Starting today the Metro Boston and Boston Globe are offering...
