In the bid to make 2007 the first season when all four LDS's were sweeps, the National League took care of business yesterday. The Rockies bid adieu to Philly, while the Diamondbacks went to Wrigley and broke Cub fans' hearts for the 99th straight season. Which, if you're a Red Sox fan, at least means that when we win the World Series, at least we won't do it on the back of long-suffering Philly or...

We refuse - flat out refuse - to get emotionally caught up in a spring training game. Even if it's Sox-Yankees. Especially if A-Rod, Jeter, and Johnny Demon didn't make the trip down to Fort Myers. But if you saw a nuclear-bomb-like flash to the south yesterday evening, it may have been the million flashbulbs trained on the first U.S. meet-and-greet between the two Japanese superstars: Sox' Daisuke Matsuzaka and the Yankees' Hideki Matsui. "He...
Fall seems to have set in, at least for now. the temperatures are dropping and people all over the metro have been forced to put their flip-flops away for some more sensible footwear.

One of the problems with being as terribly derivative as Bostonist sometimes tends to be is that it's hard to find photos. It's easy to re-hash a Globe story and add some snarky commentary, but using the Globe's actual pictures that they paid actual photographers to take is, well, frowned upon. Because of this, we're very interested in the Free Culture movement, which seeks to challenge existing rules about the ownership of artistic creations. Most of the Free Culture movement isn't as crass and self-serving as we are, and we imagine its better elements will be on display on Thursday, when Northeastern hosts a panel discussion on the movement.
Last month we found out security was breached at ChoicePoint through some creative social-engineering and heads roll. Yeasterday, Bostonist heard that 119 applicants to the Harvard Business School are being denied admission after prematurely looking at the status of their application. An internet persona going by the name of "brookbond" posted intstructions on how to gain access to the ApplyYourself online admissions site to view the admission decision letters. A posting to a public forum on the BusinessWeek website showed methods to access the information nearly a month ahead of the anticipated mailing. In the course of 9 hours (before the letters were removed from the site) 119 applicants followed the instructions and took a sneak peek at the results of their application for Harvard’s Business School.
Today the New England Patriots take to the streets in Boston’s own Duck Tour boats for the championship parade. This will be Boston’s second World Championship parade within five months, but complacency is not setting in. All the speak of a new dynasty in football gets us excited to bring the Lombardi trophy home more often, with more parades. The Patriots will roll down Boylston Street starting around Copley Square and turn onto Tremont Street...
