He was shirtless earlier in the game, but he was forced to cover up with the tank top after ballpark security deemed his full-back tattoo of a nude Don Orsillo to be "inappropriate."
If these guys are truly interested in the financial monster that is The Globe, I have a star-less, comment-enabled account on a sports blogomothingy that may be of interest to them.
Rogers Cable just sent me a text on my Rogers phone to watch the Rogers-owned Blue Jays live at the Rogers Centre, or alternatively live on Rogers Sportsnet, if I ever want to see Vernon Wells hit a home run again in my lifetime.
Shit, NESN, what are you waiting for? Get this guy a regular spot in the booth.
Amusing potty mouth aside, Eckersley is barely tolerable and we're all eagerly waiting for Remy to return.
Also, Eck has come very close to dropping a couple of f-bombs on the air so far, getting the "ffff" sound out before I'm pretty sure Orsillo jabs him in the leg with his pen.
@BruschisBrewsky: I don't know, man, I kind of like Eck. Sure, he may not be the most polished guy around, but he doesn't sugarcoat everything and try to be all buddy-buddy with the players.
And he loves to rag on Dice-K and his absolutely atrocious style of pitching.
@Arsenio Billingham: Hey, I'd love to sit down and talk baseball over a beer (or 15) with Eck, but when it comes to calling a baseball game he's pretty hard on the ears.
Not to mention he likes to go off on his little tangents and next thing you know the inning's over and they didn't call a minute of the action.
