Last Fall there was news that The Bottle Rockets were recording a new record on Bloodshot. Anyone hear tell when we'll see that one?

Shaughnessy in today's Globe: You’re better off with five Joe Kellys and Rick Porcellos than with one Jon Lester. Turning their backs on arcane thinking (and 130 years of baseball history), the Sox are out to prove that a team does not need a true number one starter. Instead, the organization choose...

Not quite half way; and, these are in heavy rotation (alphabetical by album title): James McMurtry - Complicated Game Calexico - Edge of the Sun Brandi Carlile - The Firewatcher's Daughter North Mississippi Allstars & Anders Osborne - Freedom & Dreams John Moreland - High on Tulsa Heat Nicki Bluhm a...

Do I understand this correctly? MLB is answering the crisis in Baltimore with a game played without fans? Someone talk me off the ledge that this does not seem right.

1/2 assed theory of the night: kinks and the band are similar in many ways. musically speaking. different but using like vibeness and such. musically orbiting in the same solar system of americana type rock and roll influences. with an innate proficiency.

Hmmm... Not at Fenway.

I do like Mookie -> Pedey -> Papi -> Hanley -> Panda -> Nap -> Vic -> Boggie -> Vasquez for a lineup. On paper that is a murderer's row right there. Castillo gets some very expensive time at AAA I guess. How many AB's do you think Victorino has in him this year? I'm thinking between 275 - 300. As e...
