Well, the Twins aren't cooperating. Instead of being excited about the chance for yet another Minnesota star to come to Boston, they're dragging their feet on the inevitable Johan Santana trade. They now want Jacoby Ellsbury thrown in the mix, to counter Hank Steinbrenner's throwing-in of pitching prospect Phil Hughes. The Red Sox say maybe on Ellsbury, but that would mean no Jon Lester. The Yankees say if they don't hear from Minnesota soon, the...

Bostonist always knew that The Hub offered prime casting choices for the CW's Beauty & the Geek. This season features three local geeks and one local beauty.

If what they say is true, and Curt Schilling truly pitched his last game as a member of the Boston Red Sox last night... Let there be no mistake.

Somewhere in that stretch, the Red Sox...

It was a tense time at Fenway Saturday. Curt Schilling looked human (or worse). The Sox were suffering from a chronic case of "hitting the ball right at Miguel Tejada". Losing two in a row to the Orioles looked like a distinct possibility.

Bostonist caught the Reno 911!: Miami sneak preview a few days ago and fully intended to write about it sooner if it weren't for another unmentionable movie based on a TV show. Overall, the audience was pleased with the big-screen version of the Comedy Central COPS spoof.

The Globe said that symptoms include vomiting, nausea, and diarrhea. (Perhaps the symptoms inspired the Globe's borderline-inappropriate headline – "Intestinal Germ Leaves Trail of Misery.")
