I just don’t think it’s a race thing. Chris Rock, when was baseball ever cool? I watch it because I played it. I watch basketball and football for the same reason. Growing up in inner-city Boston without a lot of money, a used glove, a few balls, and a bat or two was enough to keep 20 of us entertained for an…

This team is not a bunch of white guys. Latin Americans will be at least 30% of the population by 2050. I think MLB will be just fine.

Great. Now every “edgy” “non-conformist” “rebel” in America will have this picture on a poster on their bedroom wall.

So when my Dad would sprinkle salt into his Gansett he was just making a gose. Excellent.

“To kill a gopher, you must think like a gopher.”

Deadspin should have placed its “May contain graphic material” disclaimer on this GIF and greyed it.

Old Fashioneds are Goddamned delicious. Rachel Maddow shows you how to make a great one. Here is her recipe:

That sure looks like a 2012 Sonata Hybrid. Disabling the ESC has allowed it to easily make it through a pretty tough New England winter this year. ESC plus snowy roads equals go nowhere.

One of the dumbest things the BRAC did was to close Loring AFB in northern Maine. The reasoning at the time was that the Cold War was over, so having a bomber base in close proximity to Europe was not needed. Well, as an air traffic controller I occasionally work B1 and B2 bombers on their way back to Texas and…

The Korean alphabet is goddam beautiful.

If he took a shit, you must acquit!

Can't we all just agree that it was probably Belichick or Brady who edited Ford's draft rankings?

Ian O'Conner also wrote that it was implausible that Brady would not have noticed the difference between a football that weighed 10.5 pounds and one that weighed 12.5 pounds. Ian O'Conner doesn't know the difference between PSI and pounds. of course, the article in which he made that statement was edited without…

Hey Tim, I can give you the story behind the failed McDonalds "God Protect The USA" sign. I read the angelfire blog from where the picture came. That particular store was literally around the corner from the Boston Approach control and about 5 miles from the Boston Enroute Center. (Neither are located in Boston…

It's about her? I read the article. It's about her Dad, and her Grandmother, and their experiences growing up in the rural, Jim Crow South. I kept waiting for an example of a personal experience that she had that led her to mistrust whites. I guess being nurtured, encouraged and rewarded for her work isn't enough.

Albert, if you ever decide to go to a Red Sox game, and have some time to kill beforehand, GO TO SICHUAN GARDEN. There is free parking on the nearby side streets. It's a 15 minute walk to Fenway Park. And it's God-damned delicious. Get the spicy dumplings and the cold noodles. You're welcome in advance.

The Vietnam Cong are the Indians.

Stand up for Michael Brown...by stealing a forty. I hate this element. They don't give two shits about Michael Brown or any of the bigger issues here. Instead, they chose to vandalize minority owned businesses and to loot.

The Sweet Caroline "tradition" only started 11 years ago. They initially played it only when the Sox were winning. Now they play it regardless. It sucks. I've been a Red Sox fan since 1967. I can think of plenty of better things to fight about.
