Mikey just wants to get out there and hit

February 28th, 2010 · No Comments · Mike Lowell

Mikey, as we all know, is on the block. I caught an interview with him earlier today and it confirmed what we all know. He’s a great guy. “Eleven years ago I was diagnosed with cancer and that was the farthest thing from my mind,” Lowell said to Tom Caron and Peter Gammons on NESN [...]

Letters, we get letters

November 15th, 2009 · No Comments · Comments

Jim Ed

Who says Jim Ed is sullen? He was great on the Letterman. He’s obviously feeling like a weight has been lifted off his shoulders. Now he’s positively gregarious. Well, you know, Tony winners are like that.

Red Sox Spring Break Live

February 14th, 2009 · No Comments · Heidi Watney, Jackie Gleason, Jim Rice, Johnny Pesky, Jon Lester, Josh Beckett, NESN, Red Sox, Spring Training, Tom Caron

Welcome to Year of the Sox. This is the first post. I’m sitting here on a quiet, sleepy Saturday morning and I’m finding myself watching the waning minutes of Breakfast with the Bruins (something I don’t make a habit of) while I wait for the start of Red Sox Spring Break Live. It’s been a [...]
