Those are the eyes of Jonathan Papelbon gracing the cover of this week’s Sports Illustrated, and who wouldn’t be at least a little intimidated by having to hit against that?

Spanning the WebPosted by Amy Derjue on 9/27/2007 at 3:24PM | No Comments
Taking you around the internet for your afternoon enjoyment. Tourist hell: We don’t wish tourists any harm, and we certainly love their discretionary income being spent in our lovely shops.

Poor Howie Carr. It’s been rough for him lately. He’s getting beaten up for his less-than-no-effort columns while simultaneously being pummeled by the court. For those who haven’t been paying attention, a Suffolk Superior Court judge’s ruling has prevented Carr from making the leap from WRKO to WTKK (where, reportedly, a $7 million contract awaits). Obviously, this isn’t sitting well with Carr. According to the Herald, he’s now asking the judge to “reconsider” the ruling. I didn’t know you could do that.
