Seriously, Alexa… you just figured out in the last couple of months that ranking data based solely on a toolbar that has long since been replaced by Google’s as the most popular browser toolbar has rendered your stats grossly inaccurate?

As much as I like the idea of the Red Sox being buried in concrete under Yankee Stadium (not literally, of course), I like even more how slickly Randy Levine turned the “curse of the shirt” around. After digging up the buried David Ortiz jersey at the new stadium today, Levine sent it to the Jimmy Fund, a cancer charity with close ties to the Red Sox. “Hopefully the Jimmy Fund will auction it off and we’ll take the act that was a very, very bad act and turn it into something beautiful,” he said.
