Sunday, July 19 7:00 p.m., Grub Street (160 Boylston) Dirty Water Reading Series with Ben Stein and James Scott

     

Sunday morning, more than 100 swimmers left the River Dock on the Esplanade, under the watchful eye of the Arthur Fiedler bust, for a mile-long race in the Charles River. Swimming in the Charles: it's a phrase that would make most Bostonians cringe. But, for the Charles River Swimming Club, who hosted Sunday's race, it's a matter of pride.

The New York Times did a flyover article about Boston now that Boston is a sports powerhouse. Why they choose to recognize this fact now is beyond us, but the author reveals a change in New York's attitude toward Boston. Instead of a blazing contempt (displayed in the past by Radar and Gawker), the New York Times is feeling some ambivalence now that Boston is winning games left and right. Here's a paragraph:

Oh no, there's another Red Sox pitcher song - and it's only a matter of time before we see Jerry Remy rocking the air guitar to the new tune. Fresh on the heels of Daisuke Matsuzaka's "Gyroball," the Boston Red Sox pitching staff brings you "Okajima, Oki-Doki."Okajima translator Jeff Yamaguchi admitted recently that the song, well, kind of sucks when you first listen to it, but it will needle its place into your heart if...

We know that Massachusetts is the albatross around Mitt Romney's neck as he campaigns for the Republican nomination. We know he talks about us like an old fling he had, that doesn't really mean anything. And for the most part, it's mutual.

Ah, the New York/Boston debate. While many point their fingers at Boston for stoking the flames on a regular basis (chants of "Yankees Suck" heard everywhere might have something to do with it), we can now point a little of the blame back to NYC. Gawker, having decided that they'd chastised Britney Spears' parenting techniques enough, shocked readers across the globe today by turning its typically New Yawk-centric eye beyond the boroughs. But, in characteristic...

We're hearing a lot of negative thoughts about the Red Sox lately. For a team with a 10 game lead and the best record in baseball, the Negative Nellies are out in full force, predicting doom and gloom in the form of (1) injuries, (2) guys who are hot cooling off, (2b) guys who are cold never heating up, and (3) an inevitable Yankee rally.

Another week, another webcast review. This week we went looking for a webcast that focused on giving us the lowdown on all the cool, hip things to do in Beantown. Sure, we have our finger on the pulse of Boston. Sure, we already know all the cool places to be each week. But, we do these reviews as a service to our loyal readers and not as a selfish endeavor. Boston Union's Dirty Water describes itself as a weekly Boston music and events calendar and that seemed to be exactly what Bostonist was looking for.

Here’s a shocker: this video is about the Red Sox. Perhaps you’ve had enough of the hype for today’s home opener – if that’s the case you should really hop in the car and spend the rest of the day in Albany because it’s coming at you from every angle. We know that one of our fun-named players, Coco Crisp, is out with a broken knucle for some untold amount of time, but take a look at the starting montage. Background music is Dirty Water, c’mon you know you want to hear it again.
