A Red Sox Fan from Pinstripe Territory
Jere's life as a Connecticut-born, fourth-generation Red Sox fan--and die-hard "Whoever's Playing the Yankees" fan--in Manhattan (now in Boston!) (no, now in Providence!) ...and other wacky stuff. This blog is intended for the reading/viewing pleasure of both female and male humans.

You Want A Medal?
You know what I don't give a shit about this year? Post-season awards. For example, what I am gonna do, celebrate the fact that CC did poorly in the Cy Young voting? Who the hell cares, they won what really counts. And any Red Sox awards? Again, who the h...
Best Of 2009
Just kidding. I don't really want to relive this season which started so great and ended so disgustingly. I'd rather just watch the "kick his ask" video over and over and over and over and over again. Usually the "little kid doin' somethin'" videos don't ...
Bibo
I recently got a Bibo doll. Then me and my friends started "researching" this phenomenon. It needs no words:...
Ticks And Dicks
After my bleacher tickets stayed at 26 bucks last year, I've just been hoping they wouldn't hit 30 in 2010. Today it was announced they'll be 28. Fine. I guess I can live with that. I'll never forget the first day I drove to work in my new car, since it w...
Jim Rice/Hall Of Fame Gallery
Kim and I used the Vet's day holiday to take our Hall of Fame trip, as we had to see the plaque and display of one of our favorites, Jim Rice. This was, I think, my fifth trip to Cooperstown. Click all to enlarge. Above, Rice on the banners outside the Ha...
Jere Recofreakinmmends
Just watched the documentary Harvard Beats Yale 29-29. Very nice job. I guess I never realized just how amazing the comeback was. My only complaint is that they didn't use Ken Coleman's call of the game....
Water on Moon!
Woohoo!...
Kwiz #1
I just got back from the Baseball Hall of Fame. Pictures of all the Rice-tasticness coming soon. In the meantime, I wanted to start of the new Kwiz season with a video Kwiz--but I felt weird about talking all loud in the gallery. So I just shot the video,...
I.P. Yearly
Here are two pics and two videos from annual "Iron Pour," another fire-related Providence event. All shot by me, 10/30/09:...

Get Bret Weir I Said
The Pleaseeasaur era is over, but the JP Incorporated one has just begun! Saw JP tonight at Jerky's--as usual he was opening for the legendary Neil Hamburger, but he's joining Devo's tour in a few days. The new stuff is all TV theme songs (to non-existent...
Finally, Pics From That Last Crappy Game Of '09
Took my mom to Fenway, and we hoped to see the start of a comeback from a 2-0 ALDS deficit.As per tradition, I took a pic of the logo on the field behind the plate.In the seats behind home plate--this thing. I wondered if it was the unit that runs the sco...

Somewhere, Mike Mussina Weeps
The Yanks join six other teams in second place this millennium with one World Series win. Hey, at least they're on the board!In the "old days," it was really tough to watch the Yanks win it all. The '96 one I just couldn't deal with, as the last time they...
Early Jeter-Clap Update
Matsui hits an early home run. Before he's finished rounding the bases, we see a close-up of Jeter in the dugout clapping.Then, for those who missed it, we see a slow-motion replay of Jeter clapping in the dugout.Okay, here's a question. If Jeter gets kil...
Sixth Game Start
Did I ever tell you the "second gear start" story? I got a car back in 2000, one that's currently driving its swan drive. In its early days, a light on the dash came on: "second gear start." I knew what it was referring to--the car was sluggish when I'd f...
No Cera, Cera...Whoever Will Mutiny, Will Be Beat Down By His Brother
I reallly wanted to write a Letter to the Editor of that traitorous article by Joe Nocera...I was beaten to it by his own brother! Thanks to Riggs for the heads-up.Among the many reasons that article bothered me was the fact that I lived for so long in th...
We Take Game 5
We go "back to New York!"I love that the Yanks almost came back but didn't. Two more, Phillies! Any way you can get 'em....
"27? Not Yet!" --MLB
This is so funny. The id # in the url for a Yanks AL Champs hat ends with 26. I did my usual thing where I change the url to the next number up--27--to see if I can see the gear for titles that haven't been clinched yet, and it took me to a page with "not...
