Nomar Garciaparra

The Debbie Downer of Boston sports media

Who knew there was somebody the CHB hates more than Curt Schilling? Or that Shankapotamus had a medical degree?

No more Nomah

Red at SurvivingGrady.com brings us the news that Nomar will retire today as a Red Sox. The 1997 Rookie of the Year and 5-time All-Star will be signing a one-day minor league contract with the Red Sox at a press conference today and then announce his retirement and new job as an analyst for ESPN.

Welcome back, Nomah

So, standing O for Garciaparra tonight?

You can take the Nomah out of the city, but ...

On Basegirl, Kristen reports she'd just finished working out when she caught Nomah doubling on the health-club TV, tuned to the Dodgers game:

... "NOMAH!" came a distinctly Boston-tinged voice behind me.

I turned to see a man in workout wear, sweating profusely, and smiling at the screen. He caught me looking at him.

"Sorry," he said, "But I friggin' LOVE that guy."

"I did too," I said.

"No," he added, "I mean, I woulda made out with Nomah like five years ago." ...

And maybe he left one of his jerseys in the closet

Nomar Garciaparra's old Charlestown loft is for sale. You remember that condo, right? The one from which Nomah and his uncle jumped into the hahbah to save a couple of drowning women?
