Heidi Watney, much ballyhooed as the new NESN reporter of record for her, well, her Watney-ness, had her first on-air duties last night as the Red Sox talking lady of record. Red Sox bloggers all gave her passing grades for her first night's work.
Sox & Dawgs: "I don't think she did all that bad. She did appear a little nervous in her first on-air interview with the Mayor Sean Casey and she did mess up by saying the Tigers started 0-6 this season when they started 0-7. Other than that, I think she had a good night."
The House That Dewey Built: "I wholeheartedly approve of new NESN "sideline analyst" Heidi Watney. Sure, she stumbled a few times. But, you know..."
Both The Yawkey Way and Red Sox Monster have decided to refrain from critiquing her work until she gets a few more interviews under her dress.
Here is the video. Judge for yourself. She has all the makings of being the next Jim Gray.

Horrible job. She couldn't sync her speech with her lip movement.
She is no Hazel Mae. Sorry.
Hopefully she doesn't get runover by a drunk, inbred Yankees fan.
The sad truth is that I have a gorgeous female friend from a famous family who was offered the sideline reporter job for the Lakers despite the fact that she knows nothing about sports.
douchebag-dying kid-Red Sox.
The next post is going to either be about genocide or Roger Clemens bowel movements.
She looks like a blonde version of Ashley Williams. [www.imdb.com]
Heidi heidi heidi ho.
@formerly Chief Wahoo: sigh.
To be fair, if the Tigers started 0-7, it stands to reason that they also started 0-6. :)
@formerly Chief Wahoo: I saw that episode of the Hills too.
she is no Suzy Waldman
Michael Kay's tits are nicer.
I'm eagerly awaiting her reaction after her first Joba Chamberlain interview/pick up.

Hopefully she DOES get run over by a drunk, inbred Yankees fan.
until she runs a marathon and then hops a flight to cover a redsox game, i remain unimpressed
All well and good, but can she fall over while air-guitaring?
I wouldn't give her a passing grade. I'd give her an F but let her make it up with a little after school extra credit.
Erin Andrews should take her down... and charge admission
"The Jets lead the Raiders 32-29...anyway, let's check back with Heidi in our Boston studio for some off-season Red Sox news! Heidi?"
@Nacho Friendly: I'm not even sure exactly what kind of a show that is, but if you think I've seen it you don't know me too well.
@Chad Sexington: And best tits of all, that's right: Rich Garces
Is that the same Heidi from Home Improvement?
Does everybody know what time it is?
I'd eat her clam chowdah
Nicole Manske was bad at first, but with more experience she got less annoying.
Less annoying enough to where I'm right now staring down her cleavage and not worrying about her delivery...
The only uniform complaint from Boston fans was that her teeth "just weren't as white as we'd like 'em."
/prints out the video, takes it to the bathroom
I'm extremely suprised by the lack of Heidi "Twatney" references. Deadspin commenting has gone highbrow.
Um...Yes.
Heidi Watney Makes It Through Her First Night Unscathed
*******
....but not her first deadspin bloggery.
So the Sox have a AAA Blonde affiliate team in Fresno now?
I wonder if she blogs.....
I was prepared to be impressed until I read the previous post. Now it seems like not such a big accomplishment.
No one else will say it, so I will-
I'll let her take a shit on my chest.
C'mon, a "Heidi Game" joke and nobody bites? That was gold!
Sox and Dawgs can't figure out the "every month has 28 days" riddle.
she did mess up by saying the Tigers started 0-6 this season when they started 0-7
I think the road to 0-7 goes directly through 0-6
Hmmm...I don't know. She kinda looks like she should be covering the Stepford Red Sox.
I've always said we need more Red Sox coverage.
I would so fu.....who am I kidding? Like a girl like her would ever go for a schmo like me.
wassup wit her eyes?
she been smoking with daulario?
@BigTDog: Thank you.
well, actually...
she had her audition at the exhibition dodger game at the la coliseum - she was solid then and will do a fine job going forward for the sox
