Who's Your Papi...??? Ask The O's Kevin Gregg

((HT: MLB/NESN/youtube))

This is what we needed to get the mid-season break going in Major League Baseball- a nice bench-clearing brawl...

Friday night had the Red Sox and Orioles...

David Ortiz never backed down as a batter, and Kevin Gregg never backed down as a closer... and it happened again... with the two of them facing another...

Here's the at-bat... and both times that Ortiz went after Gregg...


"I don't feel proud of a situation like that, but I'm the kind of person that don't like being pushed, you know what I'm saying? I feel like I was pushed last night to do something like that," said Ortiz. "Everybody has a button, and once it gets touched, it changes your mind in a second. So, I guess that was my time."

Gregg was mad that Ortiz, in his mind, took his time when the teams knew it was an out to short right... Ortiz was just, you know, taking his time...

Interesting to see if we get a sequel any time soon...

Dumbass fan gets drilled by security at Red Sox game

((ht: buzzfeed/hardballtalk))

This is too good not to share. Some drunken fool at last nights Boston Red Sox game tried to do something stupid...as drunken fools are want to.

He runs out onto the field, he's seen by security...and well, watch the video and see the tackle. (about 15 sec. in)

Heidi Watney Struggles With Stadium Food

((HT: MLBAM/MLB Network/NESN/youtube via The Big Lead))

Okay... the HQ admits that we've done stuff like this before... the whole "local interest since you can't be here see what you're missing" live shot...

Anything to kill time during baseball games...

NESN's Heidi Watney is in Cleveland with her Red Sox, and apparently, forgot that a chicken and waffles sandwich is very, very dry...

Ozzie To Jenks: Don't Talk About My Son...

((HT: CSN Chicago))

The war of words between former White Sox-now Red Sox reliever Bobby Jenks and his now-former manager Ozzie Guillen has ramped back up again...

Short version: Jenks is running his mouth about how he was treated, from his point-of-view, during the last few years of his tenure in the bullpen.

Ozzie ain't hearing it... and he's thinking of giving Jenks' new boss some advice over the phone with his new employee.

It's standard Ozzie- which means it's priceless...


See...??? We told you...

Red Sox announcers go off on a strange tangent....

Sometimes, during the throes of a baseball season, announcers, in a somewhat meaningless game will run out of things to say.

That appears to be what happened the other night. The Boston Red Sox TV announce team, Don Orsillo and Jerry Remy were in the 6th inning of a 5-0 game and must have been really, really bored. Orsillo reads a promo, as play-by-play guys are want to do. Remy questions him about it and then they go off on a tangent. A really, really weird tangent.
