How I learned to stop worrying & love the Sox

Must-Have Sox Tech: The Boston Herald Red Sox App

Anyone who knows my work outside of the Sox Mobster project are probably aware of my animosity toward the Boston Herald, where I was formerly employed as a freelance music writer.

While I’m still friendly with many people over there, I have nothing but disdain for most of their columnists - particularly that sentimental douche Joe Fitzgerald and the impossible dickhead Howie Carr.

All that said, their sports coverage is, in my know-nothing opinion, quite outstanding. That shouldn’t impress me; as a news reporter, I’m supposed to be offended by their having three times more hacks at every home game than they do at the Statehouse.

This Herald Sox app, though - which is available on iPhone and Android - is undeniably awesome. It’s incredibly functional, and kicks ass for news, info, and opinions from not just the Sox, but from across the league.

I highly recommend. And if you’re a grey-haired Cambridge bohemian with canvas shoes who is loathe to support the evil Herald, just consider how ironic it is that your intellectual ass is a baseball fan to begin with.
