At least it's not the Yankees...
Boston.com?

Thanks for my new catch phrase to describe BDC.. :)
I often refer BF to "Quasi-News for the ADD crowd"
Given the typical "breaking news"

In 2003, that might have bothered me

Unfair to Buckner...
A great band called The Baseball Project (featuring REM member Peter Buck on bass) recorded a song called "Buckner's Bolero" on their 2nd album, Volume 2: High and Inside which tells a compelling story of "that game." If you're a baseball fan, you need to check out this band. Members of Young Fresh Fellows, REM and The Dream Syndicate. There is some smart song writing on their three albums.

First that tweet was deleted (I saw it, didn't copy it down, then it was gone, so I'm paraphrasing, now the entire account has been sent express to oblivion.
It's so hard to really delete something on the InnerTubes
Somebody forwarded a screen capture of the tweet that sank the Elevator:
Really isn't working

The list of trusted sites is provided by Microsoft - plenty of small bloggers have figured out how to get their URLs on to the list. You would think the Globe could do the same. Certainly there is never enough on boston.com of interest to motivate me to figure out what is blocked.
If you're looking for the
If you're looking for the Boston Globe, its www.bostonglobe.com. Boston.com isn't the same thing as the Globe.
Did the Boston Globe sell boston.com?
It is the same organization. They even post handy links to bostonglobe.com stories on boston.com telling you you need to signup.
