How to: Get Laid In Boston

Boston

Ballsy, right? Just who am I to give advice on how to get laid in Beantown?

If I can follow these ridiculous tips (without taking them too seriously) and increase my chances of following a hot-enough Bostonian to her BoSox-adorned apartment, so can you.

Have I ever tried these personally? Of course not - but that shouldn’t stop you from reading and being slightly entertained. And isn’t that the point, to read one story a day that makes you go, “Oh…ok. That was marginally fun. That was pretty good, I guess - I think. It wasn’t great by any means, but I didn’t hate it, either. I don’t care about it enough to hate it. Grade: C-” Read More »

Uplifting Moment of the Day: Nervous Autistic Anthem Singer Gets Help From Fenway Crowd

November 27, 2007 - 10:30 am , By Andrew - University of Michigan

The news of Sean Taylor’s death has rocked the sports world. But just when you start losing your faith in humanity (or whatever is bothering you at the moment) we get a small glimmer of hope like this.

Disability Week took place in August, and a man with autism was chosen to sing the national anthem. He got a case of the nervous giggles halfway through; but listen to what the Fenway crowd does to support him.

I’m a Yankees fan but I gotta give it up to Red Sox fans for being extra classy when it counts:

Red Sox: The Dawn of a New Dynasty?

October 29, 2007 - 9:35 am , By Mike - Montclair State U

Red Sox World Series 2007After a 86-year freezeout, the curse of the Bambino lives no longer, as the Boston Red Sox won their second World Series in four years last night against the Colorado Rockies (final score 4-3).

Is this the beginning of a new era for the Sox and their fans alike?

The Colorado Rockies, a great team in their own right, were stomped by the Red Sox, swept in four games without a remote possibility of coming back from behind (one possibility if you count last night’s final inning scare). The Red Sox outmatched the Colorado Rockies both in pitching and batting, dominating the series.

Even Rockies fans watched in awe as the BoSox battered their hopeful team to a pulp.

With Terry Francona at the helm the Red Sox are primed and ready to usher in a - dare I say it - dynasty, not unlike the Sox squad of 1903 -1918. Some may scoff at the comparison, but there’s no team in baseball worthy to go toe-to-toe when the Red Sox are running on all cylinders…like the New York Yankees of the past decade.

Now, if only the Chicago Cubs would clean up their act and make like Boston…

Indians Eliminate Yankees - Torre to Step Down?

October 9, 2007 - 10:00 am , By Josh - UMASS, Lowell

Joe TorreAfter a topsy-turvy season, the New York Yankees have been eliminated from the playoffs by the Cleveland Indians. Historically, outside of baseball, Yanks losing to Indians is irony at its best.

The Indians will move forward to face the red-hot Boston Red Sox for the ALCS.

The question on everybody’s mind: what is the future of Joe Torre and the Yankees?

The answer: if George Steinbrenner isn’t happy, nobody’s happy.

Steinbrenner has mentioned on many occasions that Torre would be replaced if the Yankees were eliminated in the early stages of the playoffs; that day has come.

The top prospects to replace Torre would be Florida Marlins’ magicmaker Joe Girardi - he took his team from rock bottom to a respectable middleground with rookies and a low payroll - or Larry Bowa, the Yankees current third-base coach.

No matter what happens to Torre, nothing can tarnish his 12-year legacy: 4 World Series titles in his first 5 years of coaching the Yanks, 2-time AL Manager of the Year, etc.

With that said, go Red Sox!
