To the envy of many, I am sure, I have watched every single game of the European Championships in its entirety thus far. Live, too, with only one 30-minute-delay PVR-enabled exception. In other words, at the conclusion of the first round of group play, I have seen each of the…
A resident hawk attacked a local girl on a school trip to the Fenway Park. The girl’s name? Alexa Rodriguez!!!! (And she was the only one attacked.) The Sox Nation must have gone completely bonkers to train their wildlife to strike anyone who’s got any – however cursory – association…
