AAU scrimmage, boys 16U or 17U, between qtrs I'm making
small talk with the visitors. I get around to asking
when his next tourney is, he says this weekend in Boston.
"Cool," sez I, "where in Boston you gonna be?"
"Uhmmm, I think it's the Boston in Massachusetts" was the
kid's reply.
"Great! Have fun!" I said.

I know of several New Boston's and there is a South Boston in Virginia, but to me Boston means, Mass.

We've got a little farm community about 15 miles from where I live called "Boston".Got about 20 houses and a general store.They haven't won a World Series in the last hundred years or so,either.:D

-Couldn't help it!
NYORK!NYORK!NYORK!

This just hit me!Bosox go 120-42,win the 1st playoff round,beat the Yankees in the ALCS,go up 3-0 in the World Series with a rested Pedro Martinez due to pitch--and the players go on STRIKE or we get a LOCKOUT!Could happen.:D

You can put your mind at rest. They ain't gonna beat the Yankees. :D The same thing was said last year about the Mariners kicking the Yankees' butt and you see what happened.

YANKEES! Best team "money can buy".

Jurassic:

You wouldn't be that lucky, the BOSOX would go up 3 to 0 and eventually end up losing the series.

Yanks for life.

From the "Find a Map" function @ expedia.com it lists Bostons in the following States:

Alabama
Arkansas
Connecticut
Georgia
Indiana
Kentucky (4 Bostons)
Louisiana
Michigan
Missouri
New York
Ohio (3 Bostons)
Pennsylvania
Tennessee
Texas
Virginia

Plus 8 more outside the US

Portland, Oregon was nearly named Boston.

None of these have won a World Series lately,either!

Is it any wonder that people hate the Yankees and their fans so much?

In the immortal words of Eric Cartman: "Screw you guys. I'm going home!" :p

There is a band named Boston.

There once was a man from Boston,
Who drove a little red Austin,
There was room for his ***
and a gallon of gas,
But his balls hung out and he lost 'em!

There is a show called Boston Public.

Ok, if we are going to stoop so low – There are beans and pies called Boston.

Up here in Canada we have a donut chain called Tim Horton's. They have a very popular donut called a Boston Creme.

I bet the Boston Creme has never won a World Series either!
