Toeing the Rubber

One more cheap suit in the loop

Things I found out while watching NESN today: * The Opening Day (NIGHT) game on April 4th will be broadcast both on ESPN2 and on NESN. This annoys me only in if it isn’t an exclusive game for ESPN then there was really no point making it the Sunday night game anyway and it just gets [...]

That is just so typically me

I’m not exactly an imposing figure. The character in “The Breakfast Club” that I most identified with was Ally Sheedy before Molly Ringwald girlied her all up. I’m naturally shy (unless I know you in which case I’m a bit of a chatterbox) and I usually go out of my way to avoid confrontations. But [...]

Lead us to a place

This morning Gordon Edes tweeted something that really slaps you in the face: Sox attention today is focused on Phoenix, Az., where 19-year-old Ryan Westmoreland is to undergo delicate brain surgery. I’ve been trying to figure out all morning what to write about and kept putting Ryan aside because I figured many people would be writing about [...]

Day 3 of gray, rainy days. Yay. At least NESN got their act together long enough for us to be able to watch the Red Sox beat the Twins (putting them up 3-1 in the Mayor’s Cup race). We could watch sunny Florida on our televisions and forget all the rain. It was nice for a [...]

So trying to watch the game today on NESN was impossible. Well, not totally impossible, we got to watch the 7th and 9th innings…so there was that. Luckily Joe Castiglione was there to entertain me on the radio (listening to a game with the television reading “We have technical difficulties” wasn’t really working for me). [...]

Turn on the tv before you get dressed

Today is a good day to sit inside and watch a baseball game! At least it is where I live. Ice cold rain pouring down and wind whipping all around – I’m ready to settle in and watch Clay Buchholz pitch against the Pirates at 1:05pm (on NESN!!! Also on MLB.tv and Gamday Audio for [...]

You worry me to death

I woke up Wednesday morning to no Internet access. My MacBook Pro is aging and breaking down and if I had a full-time job I’d be replacing it right now (I adore my MacBook Pro. I’d do commercials for free for it. I can’t say enough good things about it but I worry that, [...]

But baby that's a lie

Red Sox baseball on television today! Unless, of course, you actually live in the Boston area. If what they’ve done historically still holds true, the MLB Network will be airing today’s 1:05pm Sox/Mets game as long as you aren’t in the Boston area market (not sure about NY – do they get blacked out too?). I [...]

The evening comes and we're hanging out

One of the shows not related to baseball that I watch regularly is “Tosh.0″ on Comedy Central. I usually watch it late-night since it’s on opposite another show I watch, “Psych”. So while I’m watching “Psych” tonight and reading my Twitter feed, someone mentions Clay Buchholz being on “Tosh.0″. Now I have no idea what the [...]

And nowhere isn't there

Watching “The Red Sox Report” on NESN tonight makes me think they might be doing something new on the scoreboard this season at Fenway. They showed outtakes from “Picture Day” and some of the outtakes included the players and coaches having to give answers on camera by saying things like “My favorite food is…” and “My [...]
