This requires a Friday strip
Mike:
Petey!
Susan/Circle:
This is the happiest I've been in years.
Mike:
Are you kidding me? I'm happiah than Ted Nugent at a shooting range.
Susan/Circle:
Seriously. I'm happiah than Ted Nugent at a shooting range that's piping in Ted Nugent music.
Mike:
So I wondah what is Pedro going to do as special assistant?
Susan/Circle:
Everything. And nothing.
Mike:
Right. It's the Updike philosophy—Gods are simply Gods.
Susan/Circle:
Absolutely. Just their existence is enough for us mortals.
Just so long as someone tapes him to the pole in the dugout at some point this season. http://redsoxchick.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/pedro-and-nomar.jpeg Damn, I miss the fun that was watching the 2004 Sox....

I expect him to be in charge of teaching the pitchers how to drill em in the ass. That quote always made me chuckle. For all the obvious reasons.

Pedey should be Vice President/Whatever, a title in the vast empire known as Vandelay Industries, and offered to people George Costanza wanted to impress or bullshit, or both...
Natalie: There is a team living that Sox 2004 mantra: The 2010-2012 San Francisco Giants.

Nomar only taped Pedro to the pole because Jeter did it on a Saturday game of the week in front of millions.

Don't let it be forgot
That once there was a spot
For one brief shining moment that was known for what
Petey brought.

Welcome back, Petey. Hope you brought the Yoda mask with you.

All good stuff. But if Nelson comes back too, does that mean Nelson is Jesus?

It is "possible" that he could be Kenny*, too.
* And his alter ego, Mysterion, who realizes he can't die and get anyone to believe him.

Guess Petey got his fill of "respect" from the Mets.

I guess you could say that Tom Werner's bringing sexy back.
Posted by: Kaz | 2013.01.25 at 02:59 PM
In Werner's latest market research study, 83% of Red Sox fans approve of Pedro coming back, 1% disapprove, and 16% want "somebody sexier; you know, like that guy on Hawaii 5-0."
In other news, Scott Caan has been named bullpen coach.
Have a great weekend all. Hopefully we'll have something fun to yak about on Monday.

Pedro's going to be the new voice of Fenway Park.
