Adam Reilly thinks the story might be playing out differently if Brady were black.

OK, this isn't Dan Shaughnessy Watch and it's not like I actually try to read his column any more, but man his column today, in which he takes a break from bashing Sox players so that he can luxuriate in Tom Brady's impending fatherhood, is just puerile. And you can all but hear Herr Shank cackling as he spends - at most - 15 minutes writing it. It ends:

Off the playing field, in 2007, nothing is out of bounds.

Oh, please.

Make Dan Shaughnessy retire and just use some software to create columns consisting entirely of random Shaughnessy phrases (such as "Theo and his minions").

Remember that commercial where the equipment guy finally has to take Curt Schilling aside to show him how to say "PAHK"? Soxaholix ponders a book that purports to educate Japanese Matsuzaka fans about life in New England:

...True, the highly ornamental Queen Anne Style house is all wrong. A less ornate Shingle Style is the more the norm in these pahts.

Michael Femia posts both photos and video of the Red Sox equipment truck leaving for Florida.

Dan Shaughnessy Watch explains why.

I know, I know, it's a rhetorical question.

But don't worry, Sox fans aren't dandified wusses; they can make pop-culture allusions with the best of 'em (albeit pop culture from the 1970s).

They're so bad they're almost worst than that Dan Aykroyd movie.

Red's Army says the team should come with a warning label.

Jay Fitzgerald ponders the dive:

We should be seeing Capt. Nemo and giant squids at any moment now. ...

CelticsBlog notes that Memphis managed to win last night, so:

We officially have the worst record in the NBA. So we got that going for us, ...which is nice.

Yes, the day you've been waiting for: Broken Down Sawx Fan reports the Red Sox equipment truck pulls out of Fenway this Monday. Wally will be on hand to throw things at fans as the truck begins the journey to Florida around 1 p.m.

There's a meatball-shaped robin in Newton. And Soxaholix reports another sure sign of spring:

... Have barred clouds bloomed the soft-dying day, and touched the stubble-plains with rosy hue?

No, but the first "What is on Manny's mind?" article has bloomed. ...

This reminds me why I don't watch Channel 25 news. I wonder if he was that upset about Curt Schilling promoting obesity and coronary disease when he got signed by the Sox.

First comes beer, next comes flag burning.

Jennifer Garrett can't decide: Is Manning more like A-Rod or Jeter?

Surviving Grady points us to this Japanese ad featuring our new favoritest Japanese pitcher - and in a Sox uniform, yet:

Or at least, offer an alternative to that Gulden's stuff.

John Gallant of Hopkinton can't stomach the brown stuff and wants the Sox to give fans the choice of yellow mustard. Now, Gallant is a busy executive, but he's vowed to see this fight through to the end - and he's starting right at the top, in a letter to John Henry (disclosure: OK, Gallant's the president of my company, but he sure seems busy whenever I walk by his office - What? No, I really don't think he's only pretending to talk on the phone just to keep me from bothering him):

I hate the Gulden's brown mustard that is today the only choice for Sox hot dog and pretzel consumers and I know I'm not alone. I love a Fenway Frank, but because I don't love that fancy, yuppie mustard, my dog must be eaten naked, barren, devoid of condiment and the slight, but rewarding tang of yellow mustard. Or I must purchase my dog or pretzel outside the venerable park, running the risk that the item will cool before game time or be of lesser quality than the products offered by your fine organization.

Correspondence between the two follows:

Broken Down Sawx Fan relays the news that Curt Schilling plans on pitching next year, not running for Senate.

Jeff Egnaczyk has had enough with virtual waiting rooms:

Dan Shaughnessy Watch is back in operation (although Michael Femia has certainly been doing yeoman work on the CHB beat of late).

By adamg - 1/27/07 - 5:58 pm

As he waited for his ticket out of the Sox virtual waiting room today, the Broken Down Sawx Fan found time to read an article about the way Jerry Trupiano got dumped as an announcer at the end of last season. And he got disgusted at the way the Sox dumped the long-time "Wayyyy back" announcer.
