Look outside the window. Grimace. Then realize that somewhere, in a magical land known as Florida, spring is only one day away. Pitchers and Catchers Day is almost here, which means that spring is creeping closer to our frozen city. Ballplayers will be ready to welcome in the season when they finally get back to Fenway. The journey just happens to take them to Florida, Japan, Los Angeles, Oakland, and Toronto before spring finally reaches us. Why do we live in New England again?

So we were driving home from a party Saturday night, and heard on the radio that BC lost. Almost reflexively, we went, "Figures; as soon as we start paying attention to BC, they start losi....". Then we stopped and thought for a minute. Being reflexively negative and miserable just doesn't cut it when four of the five pro teams in town are either undefeated, in the championship game, or current World Champs. We know we're...
Forget the 2008 Presidential Race for now. The biggest decision any voter can make right now is the one forced on us by Major League Baseball. Since the All-Star game is in San Francisco, a National League park, the designated hitter is not an option. Which means the Red Sox had to designate David Ortiz to be in the First Baseman section of the All-Star ballot. Which means Kevin Youkilis is on the outside looking...
The Bruins had their last game after flaming out so spectacularly toward the end of the season. They took on Ottawa and did what they do best - they lost, 6 to 3. When the Celtics are fighting harder than you are, you know it's time to hang it up. Coach Dave Lewis offered his typically cheerful thoughts on the season finale: "It's an awful feeling to play the last game of the year in...
In national sports news, there's a new star in heaven today. Kentucky Derby winner Barabaro lost his long battle with leg injuries and was put to sleep. We feel really sad losing an old friend - not so much the horse, but the easy go-to "I hear he's in stable condition" joke that served us so well, and now will have to be shelved until another thoroughbred is in trouble. Alas.
Celtics, 84 vs. Indiana Pacers, 97 – Perhaps the play was less "selfish," but the outcome wasn't any better when the Celtics were up against Jermaine O'Neal and Jamaal Tinsley. And Tony Allen, the go-to-guy of the moment, got hurt. This means everyone got hurt. Doc Rivers is even more down in the mouth: "This is just terrible. Tony (Allen) is probably an ACL. Tony's injury really hurt us, obviously. Not just because of his...
Bostonist won't waste your precious time fawning over our most very favorite Superbowl quarterback, but Tom Brady turns the ripe old age of 28 today. Happy Birthday, Tom. Bostonist got to thinking that Brady is only 28, has 3 Superbowl titles, a hot girlfriend, and a sweet condo on Commonwealth. Although Brady does have a few years on Bostonist, we would like to think that we too can achieve all that. Okay, we'll settle for...
Bostonist will be the first to admit that we don't give our boys in Celtic Green the coverage they deserve. Sure, we mentioned Antoine's return mid-season, which has definitely put the Celts on the path to the playoffs. They have been battling the Indiana Pacers this past week and pushed it in last night's game in Indianapolis. With team owners (both Celtics legends back in the 80s: Larry Bird for the Pacers and Danny...
