[Boston Phoenix - thePhoenix.com] The Phoenix > Music Features > Fly by night?: For a decade, Eric Johnson's primary songwriting vehicle has been Fruit Bats, but the Portland-via-Chicago singer and multi-instrumentalist has always dipped in and out of other projects ”” Califone, Vetiver, Ugly Casanova (the side project of Modest Mouse's Isaac Brock) among them. He's also been a full-fledged member of indie-rock heroes the Shins for the past few years.

[Bats] Girardi Looked Back to Move Forward - Bats Blog - NYTimes.com: Now, I don’t know if Torre had a hand in advocating for any of the feckless Carl Pavano, the inscrutable Kevin Brown, the overweight David Wells, the vastly overrated Jared Wright, the ultimately diva-ish Roger Clemens, the Thin Man (the villain of that wonderful movie, by the way) Randy Johnson, etc. One tends to doubt he would cast his chips for such a truckload of wornout leftovers.

[The Arts Fuse Blog] Theater Review: The A.R.T. Shakes Its Ass : The Arts Fuse Blog: For me, the quartet of male fairies (Mike Heslin, Cameron Oro, Tom Fish, and Eric Johnson) stole the show, flipping and flopping with the maximum of personality.

[MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com] Stark On Braves, Hardy, Uggla: MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com: I can see the Braves picking up an RH bat in the OF (like Dye, Abreu or Nady) to compliment Chipper/LaRoche in the middle of the order (assuming they sign LaRoche), and then playing musical chairs with the existing bullpen plus whatever reliever they can pick up on the cheap in the offseason.

[MASNsports.com] - MASNsports.com: Otherwise grab a lefty or two to balance out the pen but I expect a good deal of improvement here just from the increasing stability of our starting staff, the resulting lessened burden on the pen and moving one or two contenders for the rotation to long relief. With Bergy back healthy, Arrieta's likely arrival sometime next year and possible appearances from Patton or Britton all indicate a trial for Berken and/or Hernandez in the pen.

[FanGraphs Baseball] 1999 Pedro | FanGraphs Baseball: With Manny being the only player who did much of anything to deserve his criticism, although even with him, it must be said that he did not do that much to gain the medias negative attention until his last year and a half with the Sox. I must admit that I do not live in the city, and as a minority I could possibly be oversensitive the the issue, but when one considers the city’s past and its sports writers affection for the Trot Noxion esque “dirt dog”

[Boston Phoenix - thePhoenix.com] The Phoenix > CD Reviews > Yo La Tengo | Popular Songs: Few bands could serve as a better case study on the influence of Internet hype on mainstream media and popular acceptance than Deerhunter. Before the band "broke" in early 2007, to a glowing Pitchfork review of their album Cryptograms , the Atlanta four-piece were virtual unknowns nationally.

The LoHud Yankees Blog: (A dozen each of course, I mean this isn’t Josh Reddick we’re talking about.) Really, the Mariners missed their chance–after Boston didn’t acquire Justin Smoak, Seattle could have scooped up Brad Penny and maybe even a couple of Cooperstown-bound low A prospects.

[Fire Brand of the American League | a Boston Red Sox blog] 15 bats the Red Sox could trade for -- Pt. 1 - Fire Brand of the ...: With that in mind, I have compiled a list of the 15 bats the Red Sox may have interest in. As the trading deadline approaches, I am keen to see if Theo has the "killer instinct" in him to make a strong move instead of holding onto his prospects with an iron fist.
