Patriots Keep Pace
After the New England Patriots put yesterday's game out of reach scoring TDs on their first three possessions, didn't you sympathize for all those die-hard fans in rainy Oakland Coliseum? Me neither. In fact, nothing stirred me more than the still quiet of the Black Hole, interrupted by raindrops echoing off chainmail vests and the … Continue reading Patriots Keep Pace

C’s Bust Through Number 23
Not to go all Jim Carrey on you this fine Friday morning, but Bucky Dent's homer did put the Sox in a 2-3 hole, and Bill Buckner couldn't come up with #1's bouncer, allowing #22 to score the winning run.

Huh?
I'm on the record as being a Bob Lobel fan, but he's got me scratching my head with this opener to his OT column today: Reading unsolicited e-mails from people you don’t know — unless, of course, they are secretly your immediate family — is a practice to try to avoid at all costs.

Hot Stove (finally) Warming Up
It's been a busy week here, with the hack plus a bunch of other stuff going on, so I apologize in advance for the irregular updates. That's going to continue for the next week or so as I balance in a trip to the West coast beginning tomorrow night. The Red Sox aren't involved yet, … Continue reading Hot Stove (finally) Warming Up

Boston.com has revamped their online sports offerings, with Tony Massarotti coming on, and Chad Finn serving as a jack-of-all-trades on the website.

…and we’re back…
For the moment anyway. It appears that someone hacked into the database that runs the site and changed some passwords, and corrupted some data.
