Pinstripes in Beantown....should The Reet wear her Jeter #2 jersey?...


Well I was small, they took us to old Mechanics Hall
We got to see the mighty Ted Williams,
Put one over the right field wall
All that nostalgia comes out every day, you see,
On the Fenway where I've dreamed dreams

The Fenway by Jonathan Richman

Don the stylish #2? After Joba's up-'n-in Friday night to that weird sweat machine, Kevin Youkilis, I'm thinking it's not a wonderful idea. Maybe we should bring the Ray Allen #20 as a backup. Will Tim Wakefield retaliate with a 45 mph knuckleball to Jeter's ribs? Thanks to tix from Somerville's own NancyK/JoeK, we're in town, baby, to see the carnage continue Saturday afternoon. What's a good spot to grab a burgah?

Nashville East? Jack Nicklaus and Kenny Chesney threw out ceremonial first pitches, while LeAnn Rimes sang the national anthem. Who ya got today?

Whew! Manny didn't kill us last night, he killed the Sox instead by yanking himself from the lineup. Bad contract negotiations means sore knees. Sorry, Manny being Manny!

Has (Sweet) Caroline Kennedy ever thrown out the first pitch at Fenway? Maybe pair her up with longtime (read pre-teen) admirer perv Neil Diamond after all these years?
