City to Jerry Remy: No free beer at new restaurant

By adamg - 3/10/10 - 10:29 am

The Globe reports Jerry Remy's new restaurant on Boylston Street will offer $500 "season passes" to people who don't wish to mingle with the rabble waiting to get in before games - which will include vouchers for some free food and a free beer for each visit.

Not so fast, Boston Licensing Board Chairman Daniel Pokaski says. He told restaurant reps this morning state law bans handouts of free alcohol, and suggested the restaurant increase the value of the food voucher instead.

The restaurant was before the board because it wants permission to add a 40-seat patio area in front - on part of the sidewalk that is privately owned. Also, the restaurant is seeking formal permission to change its closing time from 2 a.m. to midnight - at the request of nearby residents.

The board decides on the patio and closing hour at a meeting tomorrow.

Return of the RemDawg!

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.

Jerry Remy on indefinite leave due to complications from lung-cancer surgery

By adamg - 5/6/09 - 7:23 pm

NESN says he'll have a seat in the announcers' booth when he returns:

"I hope that disclosing my bout with cancer will reinforce the dangers of smoking to every member of Red Sox Nation, especially children," said Remy, the president of Red Sox Nation.

Remy posts some more details:

... Unfortunately, following the surgery, I developed a bad infection further compounded by a case of pneumonia. It was the pneumonia and the infection that set me back. This all happened just as I was leaving for spring training. ...

Where have you gone, Jerry Reh-eh-my ...

As the ALDS stretches into four games, Sox fans begin to reach for a hammer to throw at their TVs.

Soxaholix sums it up:

Doug: Well, the Red Sox bettah close this thing out tonight because I can't take too much more of it.

Bill: What, the stress?

Doug: No, the friggin Frank TV ads. ...

Julia Spitz pines for the RemDawg:

... There actually is a vast conspiracy against Boston teams perpetrated by the national media. They don't like us. They don't get us. And they're dopes. ...

Yeah, like even aside from that guy with his endless closet of Joker-like suits, what was with the "big swing from a little man" crap last night after one of Pedroia's outs?

Alas, looks like Remy is a bit busy right now.
