The SurvivingGrady.com Red Sox Podcast

Red and Denton have a few drinks and discuss Opening Day 2012! Guaranteed insight-free! Also, Red does his James Earl Jones impression.

Elvis Costello once said that writing about music is like dancing about architecture. I have no idea what that means but on this episode, we are joined by fellow bloggers Jere of Red Sox Fan From Pinstripe Territory and Allan from Joy of Sox to talk blogs. As in, why do bloggers blog, what drives us, and how much alcohol must we be consuming in our spare time? Fun for all ages, but with swear words.

The great Tom Caron -- that's TC to you, punk -- from NESN joins us for the latest SG Red Sox podcast. Among the subjects covered:

Who we'll miss more: JD Drew or Heidi Watney.

TC's ingenious plan for how the Red Sox players can finally put 2011 past them (spoiler: it involves hot coals).

TC's non-existent "wild side."

How Jim Rice gave TC the ultimate compliment.

Jenny Dell.

Scary-ass beards.

How he filled up 28 hours of rain delays in 2011.

Jenny Dell.

Ned Martin, shirtless, by a pool.

Dark horse candidates for Red Sox Player of the year.

What Major League Baseball learned from the last day of the 2011 season (and how they'll try to cash in).

Also, Jenny Dell.

This episode clocks in at close to 35 minutes, but it's all thriller, no filler. Every time we went to wrap it up, TC added another spectacular story or anecdote from his illustrious career. Can't thank him enough for taking the time from his NESN Spring Training duties to chat with us.

Emmy winner Jen Royle joins Red and Denton to class up the joint, discussing the Red Sox, Baltimore, Joe Maddon, her charity date auction exploits and how when a guy tells you "There's more candy in the van," it's usually a red flag.

Listen. Learn. Enjoy.

The great Heidi Watney joins Red to discuss her time with NESN covering the Red Sox, hint at future plans, and explain how you can win her at the Project Cupid Charity Date Auction. Red somehow makes it through the whole damn thing without proposing or breaking down crying, and that makes us kinda proud. Kinda.

In this episode, WEEI's Mike Adams joins Red and Denton to make some bold predictions for the 2012 Red Sox. May include profanity and Daisuke Matsuzaka references.

The episode in which Red and Denton ask "what the hell happened to the Red Sox in September." And ponder a world in which Carl Crawford and John Lackey come alive in the postseason. And what's up with the Sullivan Tire guy's hair.

Red and Denton talk about the Red Sox' insane resurgence over the last three games of the Texas series. We also talk about hurricanes, pimp our upcoming Jimmy Fund event and explain why "Laverne & Shirley" never recovered from Shirley's departure.

Red and Denton step aside for legitimate insight from Stewart O'Nan, co-author (with Stephen King) of "Faithful." Somehow we manage to discuss 2004, 2007, JD Drew, Denton's community service and how the Sox will fare this summer in the span of 35 minutes.

Red and Denton disuss the Red Sox' recent reversal of fortune. However, it isn't long before the conversation spirals into desperate pleas for sponsorships, Denton's penchant for physical exams, and the argument for "kneecapping" John Lackey.

It's a question that we, as fans, need to ask ourselves. In convenient podcast form.

Red and Denton are joined by guest blogger Beth from CursedtoFirst.com to talk Red Sox, and together they tackle such fascinating and drug-induced topics as the peril of being picked to win it all, where Josh Beckett's head is at, what we can expect from Lester and Buccholz (beyond gaining the power of flight or shooting lightning bolts from their fingers), why you never discount the Yankees and why we will all -- every one of us -- eventually make love to Terry Francona. Okay, we made up the last one. But don't let that stop you.

Red and Denton discuss the joys of spring training, why JD Drew's 2007 ALCS grand slam isn't more famous, and what Ozzie Guillen would be like as Red Sox manager. Also, Red imitates Seinfeld narrating your wife having sex with Dave Roberts. Stay classy... with us!

For the first podcast of 2011, Red and Denton discuss, amongst other things, Carl Crawford's tattoo, Rheal Cormier, killing squirrels, The Planet of the Apes and flippin' skits. You were warned.

The usual mix or irreverent Red Sox chatter along with "Dramatic Readings of Reader Hate Mail" and "Which red Sox Player is Most Likely to Make His Own Porno." Classy stuff, as always.
