You know it's bad when even Heidi Watney gets dragged into the mud (and comes up slugging; denies that rumored fling with Varitek).

Some cop must have seen her shivering or something at last night's game - the one where she kept talking even as Mike Aviles was hitting his first Red Sox home run.

If you're not a Sox fan, you missed this commercial during last night's game. At least it was a break from the millionth repetition of those SouthWest People's Court ads and gazillionth airing of the Coors commercials that alternate between idiots getting angry with beer bottles and idiots showing how much they'd rather do anything than spend time with their girlfriends:

The Sox color commentator tweeted today:
I will not do Red Sox game tonight-except for a very bad flu I'm OK-my previous health issues have everybody concerned-please don't be-Jerry.

People are still talking about Edwards's post-game-7 yawping about royalty. Turns out that's a favorite April theme of his. Here he is in April, 2009, comparing a game-3 Bruins win against the Canadiens to the battles of Lexington and Concord.

Today on "What Can We Make Heidi Eat?" the NESN stadium reporter was pushed in front of some garlic fries and a chocolate-cherry shake in Anaheim. Unlike in Texas, where she was ordered to eat a four-pound pretzel, Watney took only a nibble of one fry and what looked like maybe a teaspoon of the shake.
She also denied, again, that she was gagging when presented with fried chicken and waffles in Cleveland, only laughing at a joke by her cameraman, but neither Remy nor Orsillo appeared to believe her.

Maybe it's an effort to distract us from the games. In any case, NESN now has Heidi Watney trying to consume these insane foods that get sold in other ballparks - four-pound pretzels in Texas, blob-like fried chicken and waffles in Cleveland.
During the Cleveland segment of "What Can We Make Heidi Eat Today?" she appeared to start gagging and be unable to actually finish the cholesterol-in-a-box. But Watney just tweeted:

Don Orsillo Catchphrase Bingo - ready for printing; even comes with appropriate markers.

NESN announced today a new slogan for its 2011 Red Sox coverage: "We're all in."
Just one problem, as Stephanie discovered:

By forcing Remy and Orsillo to kibbitz about advertisers in the middle of innings, Joy of Sox kvetches.

Dan Tobin outs Fitzy Fitzgerald, who, granted, grew up in Braintree but now lives in New York.

Jimmy grades them from a B for the Eck to a Z for Lenny Clarke:
... I think Boston was hit with a reality check over the past few months. Even if you are of the opinion that Jerry Remy is mediocre at what he does, "mediocre" is difficult to find in a world where Joe Morgan is considered the gold standard.

Jerry Remy just twittered:
As NESN just announced I will be returning to the booth on Friday-I can't wait-Thanks again to all of you- Jerry
He also says that he's going to ease back into it and may not go on road trips initially.
All in all, though, it's going to be great to have him back with Don Orsillo in the broadcast booth.

Ian Browne tweets form a long discussion between Jerry Remy and the media; Remy also hopes to return to the booth this year and thanks fans who have reached out to him.
The Globe reports he'll actually make a visit to the NESN booth in the top of the second inning tonight.

Jere reports that he couldn't really get into "What About Sal?" partly because it was so short, partly because it was actually filmed in New York and the actors seemed to have New York accents:
... The bar they show--at least the outside shot of it--is Pat O'Brien's! In New York City, a few blocks from where I used to live. It's a Sox bar on the Upper East Side, with a big sign in the window (they now have a second sign, I saw it recently when I was at Chan's place in the same area) saying "watch all the Red Sox games here." ...

I was starting to compile one, but Beth has already put together an Eckersley/English dictionary.
The only ones she's missing are "gas," "punchout" (translates as "strikeout") and some word for "million" that begins with a "b" (grr, I can't remember the word, anybody know?).
