Don Orsillo

Red Sox stat of the day

The Red Sox are 5-3 when Don Orsillo wears a gray tie with stripes.

Appropriate attire for a game like last night's

Joanna notes:

Don Orsillo was attired in an academic tweed jacket accented by a professorial paisley tie. Appropriate, because the Red Sox were schooled by the Rays in a 16-5 blowout.

Just in time for the new season

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

A shame to the city on a hill

Yes a shame has occurred, something that questions the esteemed academic abilities this city is self known for. In this place, with forty plus colleges and universities. where engineers and architects out number artists and musicians, depending on the street corner. A city full of educators, including ignoble and noble prize winners, where the only sport enjoyed more than the long running soap opera of the Red Sox, is throwing things at other people.

Could not some one come forward to teach Don Orsillo how to craft and pilot a paper airplane?

So who buys RemDawg and Orsillo bobbleheads?

Boston Fan in Michigan, for one:

... They sit on my desk and nod encouragingly. It's quite nice.
