SANDY BUT NOT A BEACH
July 6, 2004 – Want to attempt something difficult, perhaps impossible? Say the word “Iraq” and try to envision happy faces at the same time. Didn’t happen for you, did it? That may change momentarily. The U.S. efforts in Iraq are the subject of great debate and tomes of propaganda. There’s no chance of resolving […]
SOUTH BOSTON RESIDENT: I’VE GOT YOUR PARKING SPOT RIGHT HERE!
SOUTH BOSTON RESIDENT: I’VE GOT YOUR PARKING SPOT RIGHT HERE! Nora Lyons, a YH cap owner and website visitor, sent us the following snippet from South Boston: “On the Channel 5 news tonight, they were interviewing people from “Southie” [South Boston] who can no longer save shoveled-out parking spots with the traditional lawn chairs, road […]
Decision on Schilling contract worth the “weight”
Curt Schilling will return to the Red Sox for the 2008 season, which is happy news, but I’d like to know more about the $2 million of pay that is tied his weight.

No noise from the Twins on that topic this year, but there should be. The delay caused by the production can amount to 20 minutes or more, which […]
GET YOUR OWN RIVALRY
OCT. 7, 2004: I have a friend who also happens to be a Twins fan. Predictably, he hates the Yankees. It’s the sort of trait that usually makes bonding easy. But not at the moment. When the Yankees dusted off a familiar script and stunned Minnesota with a classic comeback on Wednesday night, normality quickly […]
The BOSTON HAIR FORCE
October 10, 2004 For many Yankee fans, serving up a syncopated 1918 or making a reference to The Curse is the same thing as being clever. Are you a Yankee fan who needs to save face while engaged in a heated debate with a Red Sox fan? Simply make a selection off the tiresome List […]
GREAT BALLS OF IRE
BRONX, N.Y., October 12, 2004 ” I have seen Hell. It’s far worse than anyone in Boston could have imagined. Start doing good deeds, Red Sox Nation. Get out there as fast as you can and make like a reformed Ebeneezer Scrooge. This is not a place you want to be. My journey started innocently […]
