April 2009

Hello, NESN peeps. Red here, again. Look, I know I’ve been bothering you lately with my suggestions and endless show pitches (and I’ll admit, Chuck Rainey: Naked Detective might have sounded better on paper), but this time, my aim is true.

I spend a lot of time wondering how I can get a little more Joe Crede in my life. So I’m pretty superf@#king jazzed to know that the Sox and Twins will be playing two games at Friendly Fenway tomorrow to make up for tonight’s rainout. My only gripe about tonight’s lost game is that [...]

…I can’t see them playing tonight’s game. I was just driving down route 95 and it was like that goddam montage at the beginning of Gilligan’s Island where Gilligan and the Skipper are getting knocked around like smacked asses by wind-driven rain.

The good news is that today we get the annual 11:00am Patriot’s Day game, which pits Remy and DO against The Price is Right in a Nielsen smackdown. The bad news? Ever a slave to the man, I’ll be in meetings through most of the day. That means no TV, no radio, no mlb.com, no [...]

Also, don’t call time out when he’s into the wind-up. Trust me on this.

Okay, I’ll admit it. When the Sox were down, 7-0 in the second inning, with Brad Penny looking like Clay Aiken on his first night in prison, I stopped planning my evening around the game. I stumbled off to the local, and downed a couple pints. Played grab-ass with some of the housewives working the [...]
