My All-Time Favorite Late Night Conan O'Brien Clip Featuring Andy Richter and Matt Lauer: Katie Around?

I read today that Jimmy Fallon is taking over for Conan. This could be extremely old news, I realize, but I reacted all the same with a "Yuck," as I would. Having suffered through his horrendous "Boston" accent in Fever Pitch and all the other crap, I do believe I'm justified. 

I invite you to enjoy my very favorite Late Night with Conan O'Brien Clip Featuring Andy Richter and Matt Lauer as we celebrate not Fallon's replacement of Late Night with Conan O'Brien, but Conan's replacement of Leno. Ding, dong, the witch is dead, yo. Here's to Conan reviving the Tonight Show slot! Viva, Conan.

The Red Sox Play Game 4 of the ALDS vs the Angels

Just who is this Fake Jerry Springer who sits directly behind first plate at Fenway Park, dead center? There he is, at every game, in the best seat in the house, Mr. Fake Jerry Springer, lovin' life, lookin' all smug with his arms crossed, like "Hey, I know you think I look like Jerry Springer," and he totally knows we're talking about him. Which we are. I mean, I am. (Aren't we?) Tonight, he's wearing a bright blue Cookie Monster colored fleece--49 degrees in Boston. Oh, Fake Jerry Springer Cookie Monster! You looks cozy. But blue, Fake Jerry Springer, at Fenway? He can has cookie? Go Sox! I want to see more baseball! And more of Fake Jerry Springer's winter outerwear collection.

Green Monster University by Andy Wasif

Andy Wasif, author of How to Talk to a Yankee Fan has come up with another wicked delightful book on the Boston Red Sox and those who love 'em called Green Monster University--Creating Die-Hard Red Sox Fans Since 1901. The University's motto? Feridus Rabidus Fanaticus.

I'm in private practice as a Die Hahd Red Sox Fan without a degree from Green Monster University because I was "home schooled" by Mom and Dad as in: basically brought up in Fenway Park. For those who were not, and want to understand the beast which is essentially a Masshole, Wasif provides a comprehensive course load in Bosox Fandom at Green Monster U which includes Biology (Massholes+booze), Philsophy(Plato asked, "What is pain?" a Red Sox fan knows), Religion (Soxism), Literature (includes Stephen King--die hahd Sox fan), and Government (Red Sox Nation). There's also a section called Ask the Valedictorian (where students can learn from the best and brightest), a Glossary of Terms, and of course, a Practice Exam. This is school, afterall.


This book makes a great gift idea for the following:

1. Red Sox fans.
2. Red Sox fans with short attention spans who shy away from long book type products.
3. Red Sox fans who spend a lot of time in the john.
4. Friends of Red Sox Fans who wish to understand.

Green Monster University is a great school-in-a-book: informative, irreverent and funny, and Andy Wasif clearly isn't afraid to explore what makes a Red Sox fan a Red Sox Fan, wahts (warts) and all. Go Sox!!!

Red Sox Opening Day at Fenway

And Bill Buckner throws out the first pitch!

Guess we just had to get a couple of championships under our belt before we could drag him out of his hole without shame.

Go Sox!

And in honor of Shea's Last Opening Day which is also today, Go, Mets. Shea Goodbye!

The Boston Red Sox: 2007 World Series Champions

Yay! That's right! I know the "big news" is A-Rod opting out of his Yankee contract and all, but...there's no douching in baseball.

CONGRATULATIONS, BOSOX!

Sox vs. Rockies Game 1 @ Fenway Tonight

Sweep, Sweep, Sweep

Before the 3 game series this past weekend at Fenway Park, a dear friend said to me, "The Yanks are going to sweep you guys and take all three games."

Ahem. Not just a little wrong. All wrong. Wicked, wicked, wicked wrong.

This weekend the Red Sox will be in Yankee Stadium for another 3 game match-up. I am not going to say what he said.
