Q.I. Productions – a wombat, the sink, and how it got there

Adam Pacther and Matthew Hanlon will be reading and signing copies of Fenway Fiction and Further Fenway Fiction Saturday, October 18th, 2008 at 1pm at Charlton Public Library.

Bring your copies of either Fenway Fiction, maybe get a sneak peek of the third installment of the series, and watch us shake so many hands you’ll think [...]

That is a major, major bummer. I like Jason Bay and all, but I’ll miss seeing the best hitter I’ve ever seen (yes, I saw Rich Gedman, too) in town.

Adam (the editor of Fenway Fiction: Short Stories from the Red Sox Nation and Further Fenway Fiction: More Short Stories from Red Sox Nation) had a little chat with Chet Curtis on NECN on Monday night.

Now, not to engage in the ridiculous Beckett vs. Wakefield debate that the Fox broadcast crew insisted on talking about until I hit the mute button and grabbed the radio for WEEI’s take on the matter (and that bullsh*t article by Nick Cafardo in the Globe this morning… sorry, I can’t bear to link to [...]

I think it’s safe to say Remy and Don Orsillo are well on their way to conquering YouTube.
Check out the video at the very bottom of Eric’s post. It will be a very, very sad day when Remy no longer covers Red Sox games.

The Soul of Baseball: The Winds of Fenway:
I start with this story because today’s blog is about home and road, and how Fenway Park has influenced the way we have watched baseball the last 50 years or so. So right up front, I want to say that I’m not ripping Yaz or Jim Rice or [...]
