I don't read a whole lot of history but this is pretty good.

Don't think it has been mentioned: Bone Machine - Pixies (Surfer Rosa)

I had the exact same thought. That is a pretty quick jump from the ME Upstairs to the Wilbur. Fleet Foxes made a similar jump - TTs a couple months ago to Somerville Theater this fall.

From mlb.com: "The possibility is still in play that following a game Wednesday, the teams would travel on Thursday and play Game 6 in St. Petersburg on Friday. That would put Game 7 on Saturday -- and allow Hamels to pitch on full rest."

I probably listened to that song 10 times over the weekend. I remember when the album came out Pitchfork panned it. I don't remember the exact quote but they basically said the title track was the biggest failure on the album. To each his (or her) own ...

I remember when that interview was first kicking around. My favorite part is when they nod in response to a question. That makes for some good radio ...

Does Steve Carlton still pitch for them?

What's the connection to Philo? A friend of mine used to live there.

I heard that too. Someone told me they saw him on Jimmy Kimmel and he was not amused. My theory is that someone filled him in that lots of people found the skit really funny and that he was going to look like a jackass if he kept being pissed off about it.

I love the fact that the players at least as superstitious as the fans. This was mentioned in the paper after Thursday night's game: While the Sox were outhitting and outscoring the Rays in the last three innings, Manny Delcarmen sat on the couch in the clubhouse. Daisuke Matsuzaka - who, along with Delcarmen, could have been the goat of this game - warned him not to move. Delcarmen, who walked the only two batters he faced, was charged with both runs, leaving the Sox in a 7-0 deficit in the seventh. "They told me not to move," Delcarmen said. "The funny thing is the TV's a little late,

There is an article in today's Boston Globe about the couple who is producing it. The article mentions that the release date has been pushed back.

Report: Red Sox players vote to pay Manny two-thirds playoff share ESPN.com news services Updated: October 17, 2008, 10:33 AM ET Manny Ramirez spent the playoffs in Dodger blue. But he'll still get a share of Boston Red Sox playoff green. The Boston Herald reported that Red Sox players last month voted Ramirez a two-thirds share of playoff money, reflecting the fact that Ramirez played two-thirds of the season in Boston before he was traded at the July 31 deadline to Los Angeles. Only players who were on the roster for the entire season were eligible to vote, according to the report. F

They haven't helped Varitek. A friend of mine's band was playing last night at a bar in Cambridge. It was 5-0 Rays when they started playing. As they finished their first set someone came in and said that Coco had just tied it up. And that sentence was so hard to comprehend. We all (including the band) went upstairs where there were TVs and watched the 9th. Then we all went back downstairs and they played another set, starting with Dirty Water. It was pretty flippin' sweet.

"What? Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"

I recommend that everyone know a lot about the Feelies. Their cover of I Wanna Sleep in Your Arms is great. It's a lot like the Modern Lovers's version only about 33% faster. And just to clarify, the Feelies/Yo La Tengo show on New Year's Eve is actually in Montclair, New Jersey.

Y'know, I'd be fine if I never heard Sweet Caroline again. It served its purpose but it's time to hang it up.

I expect it mostly had to do with Lester pitching. Before tonight's game he was 3-0 with a 0.90 ERA against the Rays this season, he was 11-1 at Fenway, and he had a streak of 24 2/3 consecutive postseason innings without allowing an earned run, including 16 this year.
