Congratulations, Sox fans! You made it through approximately three minutes of the Red Sox Rally Monday festivities at City Hall Plaza before the first chants of "Yankees Suck" filled the air. New record! Well done! A few thousand fans descended upon the plaza early Monday afternoon to cheer on their hometown baseball team (and decry the arch rivals) for the Boston version of the shindigs going on across the country. Rally Monday was a tradition...

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...
There's so much going on across the Ist-a-Verse that it's almost impossible to keep track these days. Fortunately, we do it so you don't have to! Londonist took a walk through Oliver Twist's London, thanks to a gorgeous map layer for Google Earth. They also caught up with modern-day fictional London, with the Fantastic Four and 28 Weeks Later. It was a week of insanity over at DCist. They started the week off with...
For those who love reality television, you are most likely familiar with the FOX series, "Trading Spouses", where two “couldn’t be more different” families swap the mothers for a week to see what happens when mothers stop being polite and start getting real. One recent episode had the fathers so riled up over one another's spouses that a table was thrown with shouts of "You're going to kill him. Stop it!" in the background. (Riveting, right?) So when this posting popped up today on craigslist’s “creative gigs” section, Bostonist had to give those Fox Television execs some credit. While they might have misstepped by killing off Mischa Barton's character on "The O.C." recently, FOX might be onto something good here:
Tonight the Red Sox are back home at Fenway for a three game series against the Yankees. They're ahead of the Yanks by a game and a half in the division. When playing the team you're on top of we all know it’s a good chance to lose ground fast or break away in a hurry. But we're riding high until the first pitch tonight. The Olde Towne Team will still be on top of the leader board out in left field for the rest of the day, guaranteed. And, we still feel like we've got the world champs, even if it's been a whole season. In order to take tonight's game and the next few in the series without a severe (and crippling) strut we're going to look back at Game 6. Yes the infamous Game 6 – played in it's entirety on RBI-Baseball for the NES. Sure it's when we fell to the Mets, but it'll help keep our ego in check as we watch the Red Sox take the field against the Yankees.
It was only a few short months ago that Boston washed its hands of center fielder Johnny Damon and his decision to move to the Yankees. Did he think the city was going to throw him a roast at the .406 Club or something? This is the city that declares oh so eloquently that “Yankees Suck” and when Johnny was photographed wearing the pinstripes and that spic and span haircut, Bostonians definitely gave him a roasting over some hot coals. Well, it seems that Johnny has decided to be a gentleman and poured his heart out in a full-page advertisement in the Globe yesterday. Bostonist thinks that all that bad press after he left town got through to the cave man months later and he felt this ad would help ease the pain. Or perhaps he’s scared of the obligatory “boos” when he’ll take the plate this spring. Either way, we do admit it was a smooth move on his part. But the Herald wants Damon to know that they’re not bitter he didn’t place an ad in their paper. They think it might have something to do with his ex-wife perhaps?
Oh how Bostonist loves irony and when speaking about the Red Sox right now, we think it is all very ironic. The Herald featured an article yesterday about how Red Sox management is discouraging fans from sporting their eloquently worded, "Yankees Suck" t-shirts when visiting ol' Fenway Park. They kindly ask fans to turn their classy t-shirts inside out, because those "Yankees Suck" t-shirts aren't very "family-friendly." According to the chief communications guy for the Sox, "We are determined to keep Fenway a place where families feel comfortable." Bostonist would like to point out that the t-shirts don't actually shout out that the Yanks suck; those are the fans who lead a park-wide chant of "Yankees Suck" when Jeter steps up to the plate. Perhaps a little talking to the crowd about good sportsmanship will do the trick? Right now, the shirts aren't fully outlawed at the park, but Sox management legally does have a right to ban any sort of offensive material.
