The Surviving Grady Podcast: Beckett Obsession, Lester With a Jetpack and the Madness of Brian Cashman

by Red on February 25, 2011

"I will not listen, I will not listen, I will not listen..."

For the latest edition of the Surviving Grady Red Sox podcast, Red and Denton decided to balance our “onions” jokes and alcohol-soaked lunacy with someone who actually knows baseball, so we are pleased to welcome special guest Beth from Cursed To First.

Once the niceties are out of the way, the three jump upon the wings of a huge, flying dog (not unlike the folks in The Never Ending Story) and tackle such topics as whether ’tis nobler to be the underdog or picked to win it all, how much Beckett has left in the tank, what more can we possibly expect from Clay and Lester and why you can never, ever, ever discount the Yankees. Even when they’re all fat. All this plus Peter Gammons and Jim Leyritz references.

It’s a half hour — a big, bonus episode we considered holding for “sweeps week” — and there’s some language. But we think you’ll dig it. Download it here, or use the player below to listen.

 

And if you missed any past episodes, the SG podcast is now available on iTunes.

Dustin Pedroia moment of the day
By Peter Abraham, Globe Staff

FORT MYERS, Fla. — Jonny Miller of WBZ Radio stopped Dustin in the clubhouse this morning to ask him a few questions.

Miller: "Dustin are you excited about Saturday?"

Pedroia: "Yeah, absolutely. ... What's on Saturday?"

Told that it was the doubleheader against Boston College and Northeastern, Pedroia smiled.

"We're gonna kick BC's ass," he said.

The best of that was that he said "Yeah, absolutely" having no idea what Jonny meant.

This was awesome - great to hear Beth's take; I really like her analysis.

I think it is tough to hear 'team to beat', sox v. phillies crap, but people don't look at the whole league, just the AL east so it makes a bit of sense.  This year has to be better than last year and that's what I'm hoping for...

Also, taking Ellsbury in the first-to-the-DL pool...

There's a well-dressed chimp in the video for this piece of 80s shit-pop:

mine needs to be an chupacubra

who wouldn't want a crochet puppet scarf?

Who wants one? Figure I got to make one for Red anyway...

To ensure this year is better injury wise, here's hoping the Sox brass have wrapped everyone in bubble wrap and are making them sleep in hyperbaric chambers.

Once again, the board magically took away my picture and posts. Don't make me get Juilan Tavares after you guys!

Best drive to work EVER.

I'm banking the purty little rocket scientist gave her hubby a present during their honeymoon...alittle rocket fuel along with lessons on "How to Harness the Beast and fool your opponents"

I'll gladly give my flag to Beckett if he needs it for a cape
