Boston in 2010
by
Allen
Bruce, my running friend in Las Vegas, and I have set a goal to run the Boston Marathon together in 2010. I will be 74 then, and my qualifying time will be 4 hours 30 minutes. I don't know if this is a realistic goal for me, but I'll have a better idea after I run my next marathon in 2007. Whether I do run Boston or not, it is a fun thing to th...

Boston 2011
by
Allen
A few weeks ago, when I set my goal to qualify for Boston, I chose 2010 as the year to run Boston. I decided, a couple of weeks ago, to move the goal up to 2011 to take advantage of being 75 and having my qualifying time increased by 15 minutes. A year from now, when I run my next marathon, I'll have a better idea whether my goal is realistic or...

Giles to Boston?
by
Eli ..
According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, Brian Giles could be a fit in Boston in the DH spot if David Ortiz is out for an extended amount of time. The Padres will likely hold some sort of fire sale at the deadline, hoping that it will restock their system and prepare them for 2009 and beyond. Giles is having a pretty good year for the Padres ba...

[It is a sad, sorry statement on how hard I've been working that my Boston Marathon spectator report is getting posted in May.] If I were to tell people I traveled & took a day off work to go to the SuperBowl, no one would question me. In fact they’d be jealous. But when I tell people I took Amtrak up to Boston and used a vacation day to specta...

Vizquel to Boston?
by
Eli ..
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, there is a rumor circulating through baseball that the Red Sox have interest in Omar Vizquel . This doesn't make any sense considering the Red Sox have Jed Lowrie , but a trade for a shortstop is possible. Furthermore, Lugo is batting .285 in 35 games, so he is not doing terrible for them. Vizquel is bat...

Bloody in Boston
by
Randy P.
As far as I know, Boston was the last major American city to have an Irish-American mob that could hold its own against La Cosa Nostra. Until the mid-1990s, that mob was run by an arch-criminal named Whitey Bulger, who managed to corrupt an agent inside the Boston FBI field office. Bulger went on the lam in 1995, and he remains on the run. D...
