so…I’ve got a big problem with the way baseball deals with the statistical idea of “consecutive.”
After yesterday’s Oakland A’s batting practice — I’d call it a Red Sox game, but the word game implies competition, and the Sox haven’t been competing since August started — they we’re talking about the fact that Curt Schilling has […]

so…does anyone remember, like 10-11 years ago, when Boston Market was called Boston Chicken?
that’s all…
nothing else…
just a random question…
have a nice day

so…is it Saturday and nobody told me? My train is empty this morning; normally each car holds 150 people and I’m forced to sit next to a chain smoker with no concept of showering, but today I count 32 passengers. It’s so empty that we’re 10 minutes ahead of schedule!
I’m going to be pissed if […]

so…contrary to the concept of melting: you really cannot take two tylenol with a mouthful of ice, in lieu of water.

so…it’s Tuesday. You probably knew that, but with me having Mondays off I need to remind myself at least half a dozen times throughout the day.

Jerry Garcia: August 1, 1942 - August 9, 1995
normally, I would put a few songs up as a memorial, but this year it’s time to make our own music. Tonight at 10:00pm EST break out your guitar, mandolin,keyboard, CD player — hell, hum if you have to — and play ‘Brokedown Palace.’

testing…testies…testies…1…2…3?
Attention K-mart shoppers…there is a blue-light special in the jock strap department…
Pinch hitting for Pedro Borbon…Manny Mota…Mota…Mota…
ok…so this thing seems like it’s on. Enjoy.

so…the heat wave has definately broken in Boston. It has to be at least 20-25 degrees cool today than yesterday.
with the sudden drop in temperature comes certain psychological changes, like wanting a pint of Sam Adams Oktoberfest. At least it’s not as screwed up as the squirrels I saw today running around, frantically burying nuts […]
