Sports

Hello out there in UniversalHub land. I have determined that what the internet lacks most of all is a personal blog about some schlub's experiences in and around [insert major city here]. I have decided to rectify that problem my moving my ramblings over here.

I will be blogging about Boston politics, the T, local music, dining, bars, sports, and life from the perspective of a 21-year-old Revere native now living in an apartment in Chestnut Hill, where I will be a senior this fall at Boston College.

All is not lost, Sox fans

Randy Booth looks on the bright side of life:

... I will point out first that the Red Sox have a 62-48 record. That's tied for third best in the American League with the Texas Rangers. While the winning percentage has certainly dropped since the All-Star break, the record is nothing to sneeze at.

It was on a Friday, so most of us could sleep in.

Teddy sums it up in one word.

The Wreck of the Edmond FitzRedSox

Soxaholix channels its inner Gordon Lightfoot:

The legend lives on from ol' Mattapan on down of the mistake Theo made with John Smoltzy.

With thoughts of a ring more, this team we came to adore, but the tales of October were a bit early. ...
