Okay, okay. The masses, or at least one person in the tips section, have spoken. You want celebrity sightings, you got 'em! A tipster has announced that soccer star, husband of Posh, friend of Cruise David Beckham was spotted in a local Cheesecake Factory. Beckham was in the area with the LA Galaxy to play a game with the New England Revolution. He didn't actually play, though, so he had spare time to enjoy New......

Remember May? When this kind of thing happened all the time? The Red Sox and White Sox played a close, competitive game for six innings. Then the Chicago bullpen melted down in a big way, and the good Sox found themselves on the right end of a 11-2 win. The Red Sox had a 2-1 lead going into the sixth, when a J.D.

Everyone knows that the orange-accented Baltimore ballpark is known fondly in Red Sox......

Last week the teams-named-for- historical-episodes battled it out in Foxboro, and the New England Revolution put Chicago’s Fire out. Bostonist was left thinking to ourselves wouldn’t it have been hilarious if the “molasses flood” put the fire out. Well, that and it’s like the World Series of soccer. Well, almost the World Series of soccer, if we discount the World Cup, Euro Cup, the European Premier leagues, the South American leagues, and just about any......

Bostonist went down to the Loews Boston Common last night to catch that space odyssey film that everyone has been talking about. Yeah, that’s right Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Much to our dismay the show had been cancelled in lieu of the little known Lucas film Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Honestly we really did go hoping to catch Hitchhiker, we even checked Fandango. Seeing as they still had a couple......
