Boston Red Sox: The Case Of The Flying Pizza
AOL Sports ^ | 04/16/07

Posted on 04/17/2007 9:49:35 AM PDT by misterrob

Boston fans over the years have enjoyed listening to the often bizarre, always entertaining antics of Jerry Remy and Don Orsillo during Red Sox broadcasts. Whether it's Rem-Dawgs obsession with Wally The Green Monster, talking about his new line of leather clothing (regarding the Remy Bobblehead) or using the Telestrator to highlight the carpet-like landscape of a fan's chest hair, more often than not it results in D.O. in an uncontrollable fit of giggles.

After yesterday, all of Remy's previous shenanigans take a back seat to Pizza-Gate. Words cannot describe the broadcasting magic with any justice, just watch and listen...

Yeah especially the inexpensive, plentiful parking. /s

Do you mean parking at Fenway? We always find a space for $15 at the Prudential Center garage... you have to turn one of your Red Sox tickets into the cashier on the way out to get the discount. It's about a 10-15 pleasant walk to Fenway from this garage, which is also attached to the Sheraton Hotel (nice restrooms!).

There's another parking lot near the Berkeley School of Music, near a youth hostel where you can park for $15. I don't remember what street it's on... one of those back alleys, but it's a safe area. About a 7 min. walk to Fenway from there.

The craziest parking (IMO) are those lots/garages closest to Fenway... $35+... And you get stuck in all that Fenway and nightclub traffic after the game to boot!

Sutcliff is a butthead but Joe Morgan is the worst.

The scene with Dennis Leary and Lenny Clarke in the booth last year was priceless though...

LOL... that's right! I would bet they will make a return to the NESN booth at Fenway this season as well. I wish I knew which game...

You don’t like Joe Morgan? Maybe I haven’t heard him enough...

I find Joe to be arrogant and out of touch with the game. His partner, Miller, bends over to Hispanify the names of Yankee players:

Alex RRRRodrigues (same for Pudge Rodrigez of the Tigers)

HORD-Hey Possssssada

Meeeeegel Cabrera

Yuck

He actually said the other night that “MOST of today’s players were born after Jackie Robinson broke into the majors.” Even Julio Franco doesn’t fall into that category Joe.

Probably just in time for the season premiere of “Rescue Me”.

I’ll still take Miller over Berman any day.

Probably a good idea!

It’s even more convenient when going to a Celtics or Bruins game (not that I’ve been going to many of those lately).

Those two beat up on Mel Gibson pretty bad while he was in rehab for talking trash about Jews.

Don and Jerry could hardly breathe they were laughing so hard.

I'll have to listen more carefully to Joe Morgan. Jon Miller annoys me on so many levels. It's mostly his droning on and on that drives me crazy. It's as if he's paid by the word, and won't allow even a few seconds' worth of "dead air" (aka a nice break for my ears and sanity).

What do you think of Joe Angel, radio commentator for the Orioles? He sounds a LOT like Jon Miller to me... never shuts up. Ugh...

Wasn’t that right after Youkilis doubled or something?

I’ve never been to a Celtics or Bruins game. Hubby and I gave up on the NBA and its thug culture many years ago. Haven’t been to a hockey game since the old Hartford/New England Whalers days! I must admit I don’t follow hockey much on TV either these days...

He’s become a caricature of himself at this point.
