Column: Let the post-season wars continue

By Alex Wang | October 25

While early November will mark the end of the 2004 MLB season - one that may or may not feature a ticker-tape parade through Boston - it will also herald the beginning of a truly fascinating second season. The Hot Stove League, which lasts from November to March, is the name given to the off-season's flurry of big trades and exorbitant free-agent signings. It features the same nail-biting tension, high-stakes match-ups and record-breaking numbers as the regular season, even if those match-ups are between agents and general managers, and those numbers are usually preceded by dollar signs.

The Rusty Nail: AU's Sox reaction was fair game

By Lester Russell Allen IV | October 25

Something in that Eagle article really got my attention though. The Anderson Hall resident director was "mad." How dare sports fans disrupt study sessions? Absolutely ridiculous. She thinks this is anger-inducing? Perhaps she didn't see the cover of the Boston Herald featuring the bloodied corpse of an Emerson student in Kenmore Square. That would make me mad. All the RDs have to be angry about here are loud students celebrating. We weren't lighting fires and we weren't tossing cars.

Seattle's Blood Brothers respond to 'Crimes'

By Costa Caloudas | October 25

The Blood Brothers sound angry. Listen to any one of the avant-hardcore act's several stellar LPs, and you'll hear a cacophony of screams, shrieks and cries. So why are they avant-hardcore? Because bands like the Blood Brothers and the Locust are disassociated from a movement that has been stigmatized into a genre for thick-necked weightlifters obsessed with gridiron fantasies.
