Dustin Pedroia gets mad

By adamg on Wed, 08/20/2008 - 8:19am

Beth recaps his first ejection, along with all the hot Coco action in the outfield.

Kristen considers Matsuzaka's performance:

... Honestly, "pitching out of jams all night" should probably be Matsuzaka's middle name. So much does he love loading the bases and working full counts and walking guys that, by all reason, should have struck out, that it's a wonder to me that he's actually 15-2. Which is also why I called Lester the team's ace yesterday. It's just...even Tito thinks watching Matsuzaka pitch is frustrating. That was his word, "frustrating." Probably because you can't swear on TV. Unless you're Josh Beckett apparently. ...

A group of 100 college presidents, including Jack Wilson of UMass and Patricia Maguire Meservey of Salem State College, say it's time to lower the drinking age again:

These higher education leaders have signed their names to a public statement that the 21 year-old drinking age is not working, and, specifically, that it has created a culture of dangerous binge drinking on their campuses.

If she doesn't get her paper tomorrow morning, the Herald will be dead to her

By adamg on Tue, 08/19/2008 - 7:47pm

You'd think, in times like these, a newspaper would do everything it could to keep a home subscriber. Apparently not:

... I've had daily conversations with both the Herald and PCF [the local distributor] who have both promised to elevate my complaint. PCF even offered to drop off my paper later on in the day, which they have done 3 out of the past 9 days. Yesterday they sent someone out to deliver it but I didn't receive it until almost 5pm. Today I didn't receive it all, despite 2 calls from PCF claiming that I would. ...

What's the deal with Angelo Scaccia?

By adamg on Tue, 08/19/2008 - 5:21pm

Seems like the only time you ever hear of this guy, the august state rep from Hyde Park (and my small sliver of Roslindale) is when he manages to grind the legislature to a halt over some issue that doesn't involve his district at all (anybody remember how he tied up the disposition of the old Boston State Hospital for years?). This time: A liquor license for some supermarket in Westwood.

Judge lifts gag order against those MIT students

By adamg on Tue, 08/19/2008 - 3:03pm

Associated Press reports they can now talk about their own documents, the ones the MBTA put into the public record, on insecurity at T stations and with the CharlieCard and CharlieTicket system.

Via Dave Wieneke.

Electronic Frontier Foundation: The Court found that the MBTA was not likely to prevail on the merits of its claim under the federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.

Dan Kennedy: [N]ot much of a victory for the First Amendment:

... It makes a mockery of the principle that prior restraint is to be reserved only serious issues of national security, obscenity and incitement to violence.
