Jerry Remy

Even our beloved Jerry Remy - who I guess has never been shy about hocking his wares - has a few submissions. But the list is incredible: Massarotti, Shaughnessy, Remy, Bradford, Michael Holley, Steve Buckley - they all have written "books" that are in some way related to the Red Sox.

Bonus points to Jerry Remy, though, for longest continuous mustache. Well done.

And now back to the field. So remember when I said the other day that since the Sox had won the first two games of the series in NY, you'd already have to consider the trip there a positive? Oops. All that followed was a botched bases-loaded rally against Mariano "Skeleton Face" Rivera and a loss in which some rookie with two professional hits or something drove in the winning run after Manny looked like a statue in a key situation the inning before.

Kay and Flaherty are Yankee partisans, of course, but they're also professionals and Michael Kay, in particular, is a first class announcer. He used to do 'color' with John Sterling on New York radio. Sterling is more of an obvious Yankee fan than Kay, with an annoying habit of making routine plays into headline news with phony rhymes. Matsui hits a home run and we hear "A Thrilla from Godzilla." Alex Rodriguez hits a home run and we get "An A-Bomb from A-Rod." And when the Yankees win, he has this annoying habit of saying "The -ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Yankees win."
