For those of you who saw Wade Boggs on "Baseball Tonight" this weekend — the one ESPN show we never, ever miss — you are probably wondering the same thing The Sports Hernia was wondering: When's "Road House 3" coming out?

Boggs is one of several Hall of Famers who will be guesting on "Baseball Tonight" throughout the season. As much as we look forward to Ozzie Smith's appearance, we do hope they invite Jim Rice, just to be mean.

The highlight of Boggs appearance was the pleasant reminder of just weird Boggs was. The guy knew exactly how many balls he'd lined foul into the right field stands. The level of obsession it requires to be a professional athlete is terrifying sometimes.

<![CDATA[Wade Boggs Doomed To Fail On Baseball Tonight]]>
Wade Boggs, venerable hit machine and moustachioed gadabout, has always seemed to be an odd, shady guy. There was that messy affair with Margo Adams. Then he started popping up in hair plug commercials. Then he inducted WWE's Curt Henning into the Wrestling Hall of Fame last year. His boozing on road trips was other wordly.

Now, he's basically trolling around Tampa, willing to talk to horny ladies like the one seen above while making odd hand gestures.

But this Sunday, he'll be back talking about baseball. On April 13, he'll appear on Baseball Tonight as a guest analyst, part of an ongoing "Hall of Fame" series.

For some reason, Wade just doesn't seem like he'll be up to the task at hand; the years of torment, boozing and horn-dogging have completely zapped him of the ability to articulate anything above twiddling his fingers, answering yes or no questions or belching. (Ed. Note: We know the feeling.)

Hopefully, he'll be wearing that shirt during the broadcast.
