6/2: Daisuke still trying to get it going.

The Fenway area becoming a spot to just “hang out.”

Fenway Park is turning into a vibrant place with restaurants and bars popping up all around. And another “place to be” has just “popped up” over on “Lansdowne Street.” “The Lansdowne Pub” has arrived.

Lansdowne has been increasing its attractiveness, and has now added to that. Making people want to come have a good time in the time surrounding the games. Or concerts for that matter, as the aforementioned House of Blues is near the park as well. The Red Sox just put up “Game On” and “Bleacher Bar” recently. Hotels are planned to go up in the near-future. Along with some shops to make the Fenway “area” a go to locale.

Simmons on David Ortiz

I love Bill Simmons. He’s one of my favorite writers on the planet. Unfortunately, he rarely talks about the Red Sox. He’s a Celtics/basketball guy who writes football on the side.

So you can imagine my surprise when I woke up this morning to an article about David Ortiz. My favorite part of the article is after the jump.
