In a liquor store in Massachusetts last night, the gruff old guy behind the counter chats with a gruff older customer:
"So, they traded Roberts."
"I liked him. Good fourth outfielder. This Payton kid is supposed to be good. Fast."
"Yeah. Now we need another pitcher. Yanks got Johnson."
"I like this kid Clement. No need to panic. We won the World Series."
Good to be back in Red Sox Nation.

Soxaholix: "Mean is so fucking in right now." (Related: Welcome to Edgartown)
More Than Donuts: "Around this time each year I am reminded by my younger sister of a strange Christmas tune taught to us by our Long Island choral director... it's a sad and demeaning tale about a Mexican reindeer named Pablo."

Is Time Warner going to cripple its DVR? Suddenly I feel so unclean. (via kottke)

A reader complains about the lack of graphic content on the reborn blog. Herewith, a photograph from poker night on the Rivington Street roof a few months back.
Bill Simmons: "On Monday afternoon, the Sports Gal and I went to lunch at Doughboys on 3rd Street." Mmmm, Doughboys. (Update: L.A. correspondent Palmermix IMs, "doughboys has gone downhill since toast opened up a block down.")
My friendly employer, Cottages & Gardens Publications, is hiring an Assistant Editor. If this doesn't make BlogTK, I'm gonna be pissed.
Trippy awesomeness of the day: Google Suggest.

For the record, the House & Home section of the Times has caught the blogger wave, setting me loose on its pages twice now. In early November, I wrote about good design at the Co-Op Village on the Lower East Side. Last week, I did a piece about about Internet message boards dedicated to particular apartment buildings—like the one for the Co-Op Village on the Lower East Side. How I will tie the Co-Op Village into my next story remains to be seen, but it is in such challenges that journalistic greatness is forged.
Elizabeth Spiers: "I need a logo designer to work on some blogs we're launching (and relaunching) at mediabistro.com. Predictably, I need someone cheap but good." Hey, JVG, go for it! One outta two ain't bad!
JVG comments on the redesign "innovations" of LS.com. Among them: "Oppressive 'headlines' for posts eliminated, reducing need for 'cleverness' by a whopping 14%. Cutting edge c. 1995 "basic black" background." In the good news department, he picks up the gauntlet, and vows his comic strip—on "hiatus" since the Reagan administration—will return next week. JVG, LS.com will be watching. In rage.
Krucoff: "Lockhart re-launches his eponymous blog only to link to his real estate blog, thereby invoking the ever popular marketing concept of cross self-promotion." And a Googlewhack is born!
Verbose Coma: MP3-blog-o-rama!

Curbed: "Jelly Doughnut Phenomenon Sweeps Lower East Side!" The neighborhood's still got it, baby. Some overdue reports on new restaurants in the Below 14th zone to follow, soon.

To celebrate this blog's glorious return, Dodgeball.com founder Dens Crowley has selected LS.com as the alpha-test zone for Dodgeball's new user-specific RSS Feeds. Stalk me via the venue list in the right-hand column.
Catching up on old news, the anonymous post-election hijinks blog Rotten Denmark, recipient of much Kauslove as of late, is authored by someone we all know and love.
Fantastic Soxaholix from last week: "Hey, Marty, all this hubris is making me fucking hungry. You think you can ring up your boy Rivera to serve me a couple of meatballs?" (Related: text message from Ken, 9:10AM: "Lug in january.")
Choire redesigns too, also uses phrase "Onward!" This has gotta mean something.
Despite the fact that I haven't yet received the payout on my ALCS bet with Ken (for easy reference, Luger's number is 718-387-7400), it's time for LS.com to cease its glorious run as a Red Sox blog and resume its life as a personal blog of general uselessness. This should, as always, be fun.
Why bother to take the time to redesign this site, especially when it looks pretty much like it used to? To cajole this guy into action, for one. As a bonus, I figured it would piss this guy off, too. Here's hoping!
By the by, for the three or so who asked, that's not me waving the flag below.
Archives and everything else are still a mess. Below 14th archives will return when 41,000-odd instances of comment spam are cleaned up. So be it. Onward! To Glory!

Found in the course of the redesign, LS.com as it looked in Sept 01, Jan 02, April 03, and just a few minutes ago.
