52 GAMES: A DAY OF SOCCER AT GILLETTE STADIUM
I look at the Revs, and I see the potential this team and this franchise has to carve out a true spot in Boston sports culture. They’re just not there yet. Continue reading

52 GAMES: NORTHEASTERN-UCONN BASEBALL
Boston always clears out at the end of May. Our massive college population heads back home, families go on vacation, the sports culture dwindles. The Celtics might beat the 76ers, but their swansong postseason run will come to an end against the Heat. Continue reading

52 GAMES: MANCHESTER UNITED-MANCHESTER CITY
After getting a taste of real soccer with Real Madrid-Barcelona, I think I’ve joined the millions of non-Americans addicted to the sport. One game wasn’t enough – I need more.
Hmm… Manchester United vs. Manchester City. Yeah, that should work. Continue reading

52 GAMES: BOSTON CANNONS SEASON OPENER
Over 9,100 people attended the Boston Cannons’ first game of their 2012 Major League Lacrosse season at Harvard Stadium in Allston Saturday night. I’ve seen Harvard football games at Harvard Stadium with worse attendance than that. Continue reading

52 GAMES: REAL MADRID-BARCELONA
Pretend America has only one elite pro sports league. Then imagine two teams have basically ruled that league since its inception, so that by now basically every sports fan in our entire country roots for one of those two teams. Then imagine what happens when they play each other. Continue reading

52 GAMES: RED SOX OPENING DAY
For six months every year the Red Sox tie up the city’s mind as fully as their fans tie up the roads and rails. I wanted to go somewhere a bit off the beaten track for the Red Sox’s first game of the season Thursday, so I picked Allston’s Bus Stop Pub on Western Avenue… and I freaking loved it.
