Early Monday morning, I posted a commercial of Boston Red Sox skipper Terry Francona trying on wigs with pitching coach John Farrell. Now we have a new version of the same ad.

Afternoon Red Sox Delight – 7/30 [SOX & Dawgs]
After finishing up a 10-game road trip with a sweep of the Angels, the Boston Red Sox will kick off a seven-game homestand with a three-game set against the Detroit Tigers at Fenway Park.
Tonight’s game will start at 7:10 p.m. and will be shown on NESN in the Red Sox television market. The game will be broadcast on Fox Sports Detroit in the Tigers television market. It will also be broadcast on the MLB Network in select markets. If you can’t catch the television broadcast, you can always listen to the game on the 2010 Red Sox radio network.
Jon Lester looks to get things going for the Red Sox on the seven-game homestand in his 21st start of the season. In his previous 20 starts, Lester is 11-5 with a 2.92 ERA. He’s making his second start of 2010 against the Tigers, taking a no decision back on May 15th when allowed four runs in seven innings. He’s made two career starts against the Tigers and is 0-1 with a 5.84 ERA.
Armando Galarraga makes his 12th start of 2010 for Jim Leyland and the Tigers. In his previous 11 starts, he is 3-3 with a 4.43 ERA. His first win of the season came against the Red Sox back on May 16th when he allowed one run over 5 2/3 innings. He’s made three career starts against the Red Sox, all in Detroit, and is 1-1 with 4.50 ERA.

Randy Edsall Day at the ESPN campus in Bristol, CT came to a close as the UConn Huskies head football coach finished out his day on College Football Live with Chris Fowler and Brian Griese.
I honestly thought he’d be on for just one segment but he was actually there for the entire show so what I’ve done is broken it down by segment. The first part is below with the other three segments coming up for you after the jump.
