How is this the same Red Sox team we watched in April? Back then, they said, "jump" and opposing teams said "How f#$king high and can I refill your drink on the way down, sir!" Now we're getting sand kicked in our face left and right and getting our nuts squeezed regularly. Which is sometimes awesome, I know. But not now. Anyway, with Denton on patrol I'm joined by special guest Jen Royle from WEEI to discuss the state and projected fate of the Red Sox, with occasional riffs on Muppets, urinating in beer bottles and my grandmother.

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.
