Most 23 year olds are having the times of their lives polishing up their final years of college or just venturing into that terrifying vortex everyone’s been calling “The Real World” since they were old enough to walk. Most 23 year olds don’t...

Enter the Fire Brand contest here! The Boston Herald interviewed the Red Sox’s Josh Beckett yesterday and inquired about his feelings should the Red Sox acquire Johan Santana. Trading for Santana, of course, would require Boston to sign Santana to an extension;...
