Regardless of who he played for, it is significant that he broke baseball’s color barrier for the city.

The street should be renamed to honor Sam Jethroe, Boston’s first black ballplayer and someone who was present at the tryout with Jackie Robinson.

Also fails to mention that John Kerry has also been talking to him.

That makes sense, I never really considered the difference it must be to run with a large pack vs. basically alone.

I was at the marathon yesterday, and can confirm that the weather was nasty. We were talking about what would happen if someone who starts in the first heat of non-elite athletes finishes in the top 10 and it is not surprising this is the year it happened! I hope they give 5th to the nurse practitioner. What is the…

I always thought the lyrics were “A perfect game, a triple play, another play...” like he couldn’t think of any more baseball plays to list.

I am hoping for a URI vs. UNC final because they have the same colors, mascot, and fight song. It would be a confusing game, but a fun one.

The fact they didn’t put “Bean Town” on the Celtics one is a missed opportunity.

It pains me that when I want to listen to a Red Sox game I have to turn on WEEI. I wish any other station would get the rights to them, especially since they have been trying to force Lou Merloni in on the broadcasts, which makes listening to the game completely unbearable.

Paul Pierce took the 2002 Celtics within 2 games of the NBA finals against a Nets team on their way to two straight finals appearances. His supporting cast was Antoine Walker, Vitaly Potapenko, Kenny Anderson, and Tony Battie. Pierce was a great player who absolutely would have won a championship with another team if…

Yes, but this is a movie and not the real military, and we’re talking about a plot hole that could have been resolved by the chain of command explaining the evacuation plan to everyone who would be evacuating.

Best part was Jose Offerman cameo

When I was in College, I got paid to run the student operated radio station. Now granted, not everyone involved in the station got paid, but still, somehow myself and some other students got paid and the student athletes at the large Division 1 school I went to, who created much more revenue and publicity for the…

There’s a difference between “Single Payer Healthcare” and “Universal Healthcare”. The goal of the ACA was universal healthcare. There are many ways of achieving universal healthcare that do not involve a single payer market. In fact, lots of countries who do have universal healthcare don’t have a single payer model,…

Meanwhile, somewhere in Connecticut, the faint murmurings of Brass Bonanza can be heard...

Are there a lot of really good rookies in the league this season or is it just me? Seems like the future is bright for the MLB. Guys are breaking in and playing fun and exciting baseball.

Also from Boston, also just went to Suntrust and had similar feelings. The thing that was most jarring to me was the non-stop activity up on the board between innings and even during game play. Made me appreciate the Fenway experience a little more.

Reading Gabe “The Babe” Kapler’s name brought a smile to my face. I was wondering what happened to that guy.

He’s the next Warren Spahn! (Bring the Braves back to Boston)

Came here to say this exactly! Who doesn’t love an old-timey Mr. Met?
