Boston Media Will Now Officially Cover Anything (And So Will We)
Because no Boston Red Sox stone shall be left unturned over NESN, Scott's Shots points out an odd video that features Manny getting intimate in his hotel room — watch yo mouth! — with his hairdresser, named LMonstro. (You have to sit through an annoying ad to watch the video.)...

Well, Chalk Up A No-Hitter For Curt Sch ... Doh!
Notes from a day in baseball:...

Do Not Taunt Julian Tavarez
Of all the athletes you'd want to make fun of while he's holding a baseball, Julian Tavarez seems like a particularly dangerous choice....

It Tastes Like The Back Of A LA School Bus
Ever wonder what it would be like to see Manny Ramirez savor the aroma of fine wine? (Manny, that's not grape juice ... Manny ... Manny ....) Get yourself to Yawkey Way tomorrow to see three Red Sox show off their new wines. It will be nice to see Schilling use a spit cup for something other than ch...

The Series That Could Bury The Yankees For Good
Notes from a day in baseball:...

Julian Tavarez Is The Doris Kearns Goodwin Of Baseball
In this day and age of instant gratification, it is reassuring to know that today's stars have the proper respect for those who came before them....

Roger's Back In Town
What they're saying around the blogs on Roger Clemens signing with the Yankees ......

Curt Schilling Accused Of Being Self-Aggrandizing. Really.
We're not sure it matters, ultimately, whether or not Curt Schilling, as Gary Thorne famously (and obliviously) claimed last evening, actually painted blood on his sock in the 2004 World Series. We don't think he did, and his performance was rather amazing either way, but Schilling has always seemed...

The Daily Closer: Red Sox Send A Message
Notes from a day in baseball:...

Those Red Sox Fans Sure Do Travel Well
Thanks to The Tao Of Stieb, we present you this video from the Blue Jays-Red Sox game in Toronto. We didn't know men named Sully were allowed north of the border....

Marathon Man
Tim Gorman, a correspondent for the Boston Globe (read: unemployed writer), decided to conduct a social experiment and run the Boston Marathon dressed as a Yankees fan. This could have ended very badly, but didn't, thank heavens. There was this, however:...

Some Morning Fun Time At Fenway Park
So some of you might have seen the video of the infamous pizza-throwing incident at Fenway Park yesterday, but if you haven't — and you haven't heard Jerry Remy and Co's hilarious commentary on NESN — it's above. The NESN announcers didn't have the ability to talk to the fans, though, so The Bosto...

Mnookin: Another Crazed Night At Fenway
Last night, Fenway Park came alive once again, in that weird, psychotic way that only Fenway Park can come alive. Even though it turned out to be the King Felix show, it still had the feel of a historic night ... well, for April, anyway....

Ichiro Vs. Dice-K, Round One
Because we grew up in the middle of a cornfield surrounded by nothing but grain silos and chubby cows, the whole Boston Red Sox/New York Yankees madness sometimes escapes us. But even we can't ignore the inherent excitement of a Dice-K vs. Ichiro matchup tonight at Fenway Park....

J.D. Durbin Is Quite Clear About What He Likes
Yesterday, in one of those small roster moves that no one every pays any attention to, the Red Sox signed reliever J.D. Durbin to help out with a somewhat banged-up bullpen. We won't say it's a desperation move, but in his last appearance, Durbin "pitched two-thirds of an inning, giving up seven ear...

Which One Is Mothra Again?
On Wednesday, Daisuke Matsuzaka will make his Fenway Park debut ... and it's not just a big day for him and the Red Sox, it's also huge for the Japanese baseball fans. Because it's not only Dice-K out there; he's going to face Ichiro Suzuki. If only they could pull Hideki Matsui off the DL for a day...
