Did we promise we were finished with the Jason Bay puns? We don't think we did promise, technically. Anyway, it's appropriate, since Jason is now the King of Baltimore after slamming two home runs to help the Sox get back on track, 6-3 at Camden Yards. And if they don't name Maryland's most distinctive geographical after the kid, you can't blame us for trying. Bay hit a solo shot in the second and a 2-run......

Well...that sucked. Trying to stop a modest 1-game losing streak, Josh Beckett was turned into hamburger by the suddenly red-hot Blue Jay bats. The Jays shelled Josh for eight runs in less than three innings, and Beckett got the loss in a 15-4, 22-Toronto-hit massacre. "They were just really, really bad pitches. Well, good pitches to hit," said Beckett, and it's hard to argue. The Sox did scratch out a little offense - an RBI......

It turns out not every pitcher in the American League is as incompetent as those of the Rangers. Toronto sent ace and longtime Sox nemesis Roy Halladay to the Fenway mound last night, a day late, and he dazzled the Red Sox. Halladay went the distance, giving up only one run and seven hits, and spoiled a pretty decent debut by Paul Byrd, 4-1. Byrd scattered ten hits over 7 1/3, but one of those......

Yummy Mummy Bridget Moynahan was allegedly spotted at an acupuncture/anti-aging/other type of clinic in L.A. Could she be allegedly feeling the near-decade she has on Gisele Bundchen? We don't think anyone who can rock an all-white ensemble without looking too Stay Puft needs to worry much about aging, but standards are different out in L.A. Speaking of the City of Angels, Tom Brady was allegedly seen shopping for a home there--could he be planning a......

Tom Brady met the media as the Patriots began camp yesterday. After spending the offseason at beaches around the world trying to wash the disaster of last season off himself, he says the time off was good for him, and he's ready to join Coach Bill and the team in the singleminded pursuit of finishing the job this year. (Bostonist has to admit, we're partial to the idea of tanking opening day against the Chiefs,......

She's gauzelicious! Everyone's favorite baby mama, Bridget Moynahan, dons a sexy red dress to play housewife for Harper's Bazaar. In the featured photo (hilarious caption: Got MILF?), she's whipping up a tasty treat while drying baby Jack's laundry in the kitchen. Is her house really so cramped that she needs a clothesline in the kitchen? We say Tom oughta pay up and get the lady some space--or at least a dryer--but maybe he blew all......

--So NOW Sal DiMasi wants to strike a deal on gambling? Guess we've learned one thing during the recent DiMasi stories. What happens in the State House stays in the State House. [Boston Herald] --McCourt Construction Company has pled guilty to overbilling for the work of Big Dig employees. What they billed, though--$314,494--seems like small potatoes compared to the alleged spending shenanigans of other Big Dig contractors. [Bloomberg/Boston Globe] --Traffic is down a little......

Citizens of the Commonwealth, please stay calm. I have already received pleas and entreaties asking why I allowed something so earth shattering to occur. How could I, guider of planets and stars, seer of all things known and to be known, and memorizer of at least 3 different Dr. Seuss poems (The Lorax is impossible by the way) permit such a volatile combination of powerful forces that are borderline nuclear? I must be honest,......

Dreamboat Baby (pictured, in utero) is the growing child of Tom Brady & Bridget Moynahan. He reads at a collegiate level and his organs are made of gold. He blogs about his life, his physical development, his parents, and their paramours at his blog. But, his intelligence being boundless like the drops of water that fill the very ocean, he comments on the news of the day for Bostonist. This is his first installment. See......

Boston Magazine released its annual power issue, which is an annual must-have for any lifestyle magazine. This power list leads to the inevitable question, what does "power" mean, anyway? Does "power" refer to one's title? If you looked at how Deval Patrick's casino proposal turned out, you might argue that Patrick certainly didn't merit fourth place. But he does get to have "governor" in front of his name. Does "power" refer to popularity? Of course,......

Puzzled by a correction posted on our earlier report concerning a certain resident of New York City, his child, and his freakishly tiny lover, Bostonist tracked down the source. We have to admit: the Brady Baby probably knows what happened better than we do. Dreamboat Baby is a surprisingly elegant blog purportedly written by Tom Brady and Bridget Moynahan's infant son. It offers an insider's perspective into Brady's life and motivations (he lost the Super......

Patriot Tom Brady and his panty model girlfriend Gisele Bundchen spent a little time with Tom Brady's son with actress Bridget Moynahan, which has fueled speculation about Moynahan's head exploding. But weren't these same people calling out Brady for not spending enough time with the kid? And it's not as if Gisele Bundchen is going to replace JET Moynahan's mother. At this stage, the kid is too young to know who's holding him. Bostonist criticized......

Put on your football helmets, folks, it's April--and the Patriots' schedule has been announced. Check it out at The Boston Channel or at Patriots.com, and start planning your fall around football and Brady-stalkin'. Because, you know, that's the only way to live. The Pats will kick off against the Chiefs here and end at the Bills--for the regular season, at least.......

A flurry of articles have expressed concern that Tom Brady is a little too into Gisele Bundchen, his panty model girlfriend. The Track Girls are the latest to ask, "Has Gisele Turned Tom Into Whipped Cream of the Crop?" As you mull over that bundle of mixed metaphors, consider that Brady has been seen running around with Bundchen and is spotted carrying shopping bags and toting her dog. Apparently it is against the law......

Tom Brady's panty model girlfriend is currently on the cover of Vogue with a sports star who isn't Mr. Brady. She's on the cover with basketball star LeBron James. While Brady's babymomma Bridget Moynahan has been spotted out and about looking good, we wonder what she thinks because Bundchen's dress looks like a large Listerine breath-freshening strip. But bad dresses happen to good people. What we're really wondering is if that cover would have......

Bostonist called it! Once we wondered if Tom Brady was evolving into his panty model girlfriend Gisele Bundchen. Well, he might be. The New York Post has unleashed a bombshell that Brady, who is a Stetson model and a Smart Water model and an everything model, might be donning Calvin Klein underwear for a new series of ads. The Calvin Klein label has a sweet tooth for New England men, as Mark Wahlberg once......

Jacoby Ellsbury seems to be popping up all over boston.com as the new hot endorsement machine. Boston.com did a http://www.boston.com/business/gallery/sports_endorsements/">photo gallery of famous endorsements by sports figures, and they front-loaded it with an image of a shiny, muscled Ellsbury pushing a ridiculously large tire and a photo of him at Taco Bell. Is the new fascination with Ellsbury a sign that Tom Brady might be losing ground as Boston's resident sports stud? Even after BabyDaddyGate......

We don't like to think back to the final moments of Super Bowl XLII. If we could, we'd erase the name Plaxico Burress from our memory, and we'd focus on the good times we've had with Ellis Hobbs. But on Tuesday, Boston was asked to go back to the Super Bowl and that second, 35 from the end of the game and a perfect season, when Burress beat Hobbs and scored the touchdown that set......

First, there were the rumors about Tom Brady getting hair plugs. Now, our Governor shaves his head. The state of the Commonwealth's hair is in flux. The reaction on the internet to this news has been mixed: Boston Daily drew comparisons to Britney Spears' infamous head shaving. Local pundit Seth Gitell, though admittedly biased, praised Patrick for his "courageous leadership." Meanwhile, the majority of Universal Hub voters say that they don't care about the story......

Correction: An anonymous person e-mailed and pointed out that the video was uploaded January 25, before the Super Bowl. So, the comment about Moynahan and friends waiting until after the Super Bowl to show the video has been removed, and the appearance of the video will be chalked up to coincidence. After breaking up with Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and then having his child, Bridget Moynahan has walked a tightrope when it comes to her......

While some Bostonians dismiss the Herald as a tabloid rag, we read the paper everyday. There's often more energy and swagger on the cover of the Herald than in whole sections of the Globe. For better and for worse, the Herald wields its front page like a blunt object. Previously we discussed how the Herald topped Heath Ledger's death and Tom Brady's ankle with the shocking news that Detroit's casinos were underperforming--and that that spelled......

It seems for some reason, Tom Brady and Randy Moss don't want to take a 6,000 mile flight this week and be reminded of Sunday's crushing disappointment. Brady's ankle issues are well-documented, of course, but Randy is feeling sympathy pain and is skipping the trip to Hawaii as well. So the Pro Bowl will have to go on without them. Tissues all around. The fallout is still...well, falling. The Patriots have to decide how much......

Update: At least someone found humor in the hoodie. Let the finger-pointing begin. Whose fault was it that the New England Patriots lost to the New York Giants in the Super Bowl? Tom Brady? Bill Belichick? Or was it ... Bill Belichick's new hoodie? Bostonist blames the hoodie. Belichick came out in a hoodie with the sleeves cut off at three quarters, but the hoodie was in a hot-red shade that no one could miss.......

After he got hammered in the 1996 election, Bob Dole told everyone who would sit still and listen that he didn't take things as hard as he'd feared. "I slept like a baby...woke up crying every two hours," he'd say. If last night had just been a game, it would have been OK. Even if it meant the end of the dream of a perfect season, we probably could have handled it. If we'd lost......

Bostonist has uncovered an underground society of lifelong Bostonians who totally hate football and do not give a rat's hairy, dreadlocked behind about the NFL Superbowl, The New England Patriots, or Tom Brady. Even more shocking: Bostonist has confirmed that several locals know only two facts about Patriots superstar quarterback Tom Brady, which they learned from US Weekly magazine: a) he is dating Giselle, and b) he recently had a baby with another woman,......
