I woke up this morning feeling glum, much like during the waning seconds of the tail end of my final lacrosse game in high school, where I stared from the sidelines as our team lost well aware that it was completely beyond my ability to do anything about it. It wasn’t an oppressive glumness, but [...] Read more »
Fenway Park during a night game. When school let out on a game day, there was always a desire to take my allowance for the week and wind my way down to Kenmore Square for a Red Sox game. At only eight dollars, bleacher seats were downright affordable, and those lovable losers, always in the [...] Read more »
Before any of you immediately disregard this little essay as another Red Sox fan gloating about winning the 2007 World Series, I’d like to say this actually has little to do with the Red Sox at all.

Of course, I slept 14 hours after staying up 30 in order not to sleep through the game. So now [...] Read more »
I have a friend, a Yankees fan, who riles me up whenever he can. He tells me how the Red Sox suck and how they’re cursed with real bad luck. He said his Yanks just can’t be beat; not with Damon off his feet, with Byung Hyung Kim out in the pen and with a [...] Read more »
