On my desk, as a reminder of baseball's biggest trend, sits the hat of the team that could claim it was world champ this year. The cap does not say "St. Louis." It reads "Japan," the country that beat Cuba to win the World Baseball Classic in March. The United States? With Roger Clemens and Alex...

The Sox were built to flourish in the Fens and proved it by leading the majors in runs scored at home (517) and topping the American League in batting (.304), on-base percentage ...

After spending a day with the old keyword page, and getting bored with it, I came up with a new way to look at news, something I've not tried before, that might be fun and/or useful http://nytimesriver.com/keywords.html  Since it's likely to change again soon, here's a screen shot. How it works. Every hour, as usual, it does the nytimesriver scan. Every story is linked to in the database undern all the keywords it references. Then the report, in HTML, is prepared, with the keywords in the left column, and links to all the stories in the right colum. The list is sorted by number of references, the keywords with the most references appear at the top of the list.  So today, baseball is the top item, with 15 references. The teams, the Cleveland Indians and Colorado Rockies, rank high. For some reason (heh) the Boston Red Sox don't appear, even though they're still in it, and the Yankees, even though they've been eliminated (yay!) are near the top at position 10.  It's another leaderboard! (Oh shit.) The stories age, and are removed after 24 hours. After all this is news, not olds.  If you have comments, post them under the screen shot, linked above. PS: Note that since the list just started up today, the initial stories, even though some are already 24 hours old, will remain in the queue until tomorrow morning at this time. So the list will be artificially fat today, it'll thin down tomorrow.

All the winning that the Patriots, Red Sox and Celtics have been doing lately raises the question: what has Boston lost? If not games, then perhaps a certain identity the region must now reconsider.
