Posted by bob hammerstrom

What does Manny Ramirez, an eight-track tape and a penny have in common? They’re all worth about the same amount - valueless.
The Dodgers offered Manny $25 million for one more year. What would they get in return? A homerun-hitting cry-baby who throws tantrums in the dugout, walks at his own pace on the field and shoots his [...]

Posted by bob hammerstrom

Wouldn’t it be great to put Lester on the mound against Manny Ramirez? That may happen if the Dodgers can take their playoff series from the Phillies. It didn’t happen for the Dodgers last night, dropping game one, 3-2.

Red Sox vs. Yankees Fans

Posted by bob hammerstrom

With a pool of blood in front of me, on the middle of Elm Street, I stood on the sidewalk and photographed Nashua police officers taking pictures and measurements for hours, as they investigated what appeared to me as a pedestrian accident with a car, behind Nashua City Hall Friday morning, May 2, 2008.
