Wakefield turns into stopper as Sox finally give him runs

You have definitely earned Baseball Boyfriend of the Day honors.

Red: Screw the JFK conspiracy:

... Tim Wakefield's the real riddle wrapped inside an enigma wrapped inside a damn fine French pastry. One day he's Cy Young, the next he's Matt Young. One minute I'm cursing his name to the heavens, the next I'm calling him up, asking if he'd like me to put a fresh coast of wax on his fancy sports cars. ...

Did Marriott killer strike before?

By adamg on Wed, 04/15/2009 - 5:11pm
Last night at the Marriott

Surveillance image from the Marriott last night shows possible killer. Via BPD.

Boston Police report detectives are looking at whether whoever murdered a woman at the Marriott in Copley Square last night held up another woman at gunpoint at the nearby Westin early on April 10.

Police add that last night's victim, a New Yorker apparently in town to sell massage services advertised on Craigslist, died after a struggle. They are withholding her name until her next of kin can be notified.

Best used and specialty bookstores

By david_yamada on Wed, 04/15/2009 - 1:53pm

A Globe gallery feature on the best used and specialty bookstores:

My vote for best used bookstore goes to the Brattle Book Shop on West Street. The outdoor carts have great $1-$3-$5 bargains, and with an excellent selection inside. I have taken out-of-town visitors there and they have raved about it too.

Although Boston & Cambridge have lost a number of their bookstores over the years, this remains a great place for book lovers.

Delaware North today announced it's changing the name of TD Banknorth Garden to just TD Garden.

In a statement, the president of Delaware North was quoted as saying something no actual human being would ever actually utter:

"Our long term, multi-dimensional partnership with TD Banknorth has continued to be attractive to both parties," said John Wentzell, President of Delaware North Companies - Boston and TD Banknorth Garden.
