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......

--The Herald followed up on the story that New England Patriot Nick Kaczur allegedly turned informant after getting busted with oxy. They stated the obvious--being an informant can put one in a dangerous position. [Boston Herald] --House speaker Sal DiMasi's buddy Richard Vitale has refused to attend a hearing about whether or not he was a lobbyist for the Massachusetts Association of Ticket Brokers. While all charges are alleged, thumbing one's nose at a......

Like Vince Wilfork, Tom Brady proves that when you're a New England Patriot, you can do whatever the hell you want. Unlike Wilfork, Brady isn't overdoing his macho. Instead, the gossip site TMZ spotted him toting a little dog carrier (screengrab from TMZ, head to the site for the full video): Let's not try to give him too much crap for the small dog. He had just met a supposedly overzealous fan who claimed that......

Update: Mike Reiss posted at 3:10 that Wilfork--and his finger--got fined $15,000 for unsportsmanlike conduct. (Thanks, AnneAllsonMA!) After all the celebration over the Patriots' perfect season, Bostonist conveniently forgot that some outrage might arise after the actions of one particular New England Patriot. During the game against the New York Giants, Vince Wilfork got into a heated altercation with the Giants' Brandon Jacobs. In the midst of the fracas, Wilfork aimed his finger squarely at......

OK, so maybe that 4th Super Bowl is a bit further away than Bostonist originally thought. The Pats were, sad to say, trounced by division rival Miami Dolphins on Sunday, 21-0. This one was ugly folks, from the jump. Alas, Bostonist should have had a bit of a clue that this could be coming, with Tommy's record down in Miami (a place he is under .500, 2-4 career) and the injuries the Pats were......

After what seemed like a 3 month lay-off, the Patriots were back in action Sunday afternoon, this time facing rival Buffalo in up-state New York to kick around the Bills, 28-6. The Patriots showed no signs of rust on Sunday, coming off their bye week, as they took it to the hometown Bills in front of their home crowd right from the starting gun. The Pats jumped out to an early lead by scoring......
