After hitting his second home run of the season off of his knees, Boston Red Sox third baseman Adrian Beltre had his head rubbed three times by Victor Martinez and all three times, Beltre took exception to it.
Here’s the video for you to enjoy:

Here’s a great video from ESPN’s Outside the Lines about the struggles that Boston Red Sox 1975 World Series Game 6 hero Bernie Carbo faced with drugs and his battle to beat them.
For all those haters and naysayers out there, myself included, it appears that Boston Red Sox DH David Ortiz has put his early season struggles behind him.
Case in point, watch his swing on his first home run, a 3-run shot, that was measured at an estimated 450 feet.

And if you needed more evidence, here’s his second home run of the night, measured at an estimated 394 feet.

Sitting out in the Boston Red Sox bullpen during Monday night’s 7-6 win over the Toronto Blue Jays, Tim Wakefield had a bit of fun with Ramon Ramirez.
Here’s the video for you to enjoy (and by video, I mean just video as I’m not sure what happened to the audio. My apologies on that):

An innocent conversation between Boston Red Sox play-by-play analyst Don Orsillo and color guy Jerry Remy quickly went south and led to the giggles between the two.
It started out as they were talking about the Los Angeles Angels cross-country flight to Seattle after the game and then it turned into whether or not to get your luggage after arriving so late. And from there, it was the RemDawg challenging DO to a game of ping-pong with hair brushes.
We’ll pick it up with them talking about whether or not to pick up your luggage. Enjoy folks!!!

You have to love when they get the giggles. This was by far one of the funnier moments between the two. And you have to love that DO threw out an Eck-ism when talking about his moss.
Before tonight’s 3-1 win for the Boston Red Sox over the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim on Wednesday night, the Red Sox honored former shortstop Nomar Garciaparra before the game.
Here’s the video for you to enjoy.

There are just no words to describe NESN Boston Red Sox play-by-play analyst Don Orsillo’s dancing abilities.
