Is anyone watching this thing? I had no idea Jeannie Zalasko was that big....and what is with the women covering this event - her outfit doesn't even match.

Jeannie Zelasko throws it down to Mark Grace on the "Red Sox carpet... I mean red carpet."

I love Hank Aaron!

Zelasko sucks.

You really can't find what channel the All Star Game parade is on? Take wild guess.

My god...7:10 and i'm all Yankee'd out...this is gonna be a looooooonnnnngggg night...

Doh my preview channel said that Fox was showing Family Guy.

[Foulkey Reese]

Wow nice to see that teenage girl screaming angry obscenities as Paps!

So, I've never been to Yankee Stadium...and guess I'm never going to get there...just tried to see about tour tickets - sold out for the rest of the year...and they're being sold for $600 on ebay! Jeez!!

Reggie Jackson has a very large ego.

[Rasputin]

They're having a fucking parade?

Is it me or is that completely fucking retarded?

[strek1]

Must be great fun for Paps rolling along slowly while the MFY fans break his balls.

Hey Jeanie Zelasko - Ever heard of that thing called an iron? Looks like she slept in her pants.

When did All-Star players stop using their own team's jerseys and switch to all wearing identical jerseys for each league? I thought it looked a lot better with each player's individual team uniform (same goes with the NBA All-Star game).

Good Lord, all this hubbub over a .500 team.

They don't, that's only for pre-game stuff.

[strek1]

Just saw Dustin go by in the back while they were interviewing Jeter. They were booing the shit out of him.
What gracious hosts those cocksuckers are. Why even have the Sox players in this parade? So they can have abuse heaped on them.

[brs3]

The parade was actually pretty cool. It was a little slow. It took 1.5 hours for the HoF and AL to pass my office. I left the parade before the NL. Reggie Jackson easily got the biggest ovation of any retired player. Ripken came in a close 2nd.

ARod sat facing away from the crowd I was in.. Francona was blistered with boos..more than any other Sox I think.

Tek & Nancy shared a truck. There was no Manny.

EDIT: It was really odd that the parade had everybody in trucks. They seemed much too low. Duck Boats would've been a lot better.. then again, Chevy doesn't sell duck boats I don't think

Edes:

Said manager Terry Francona: "I learned two things: They want Rivera to close and I suck.''

[Dollar]

They don't, that's only for pre-game stuff.

Thanks, I was hoping that was the case, but I couldn't remember how it's been the past few years.

[Foulkey Reese]

Jonathan Papelbon woke up this morning to the back page of the NY Daily News screaming "Papelbum," and ripping him for saying he wanted to close instead of Mariano Rivera. Deep in the story, they noted that Paps told the Globe that he wanted Rivera to close, but why let the facts get in the way of a good story?

The day worsened for Paps during this afternoon's Red Carpet parade of All-Stars down Avenue of the Americas, when he was booed unmercifully and said some threats were hurled at him and his wife.

"I should have worn a bullet-proof vest,'' he said. "Brutal.''

He said his wife Ashley was very upset by their treatment, and he said in hindsight he wished she had not been there to accompany him. Jason Varitek said all the Sox players got a going-over by New Yorkers.

"Listen to that, and you'd think my last name was Varitek, and my first name and middle name were, 'Bleepbleep,''" he said.

Dude. Enough with the "Nancy" Drew stuff already.

He's saved their bacon since Papi went down and you fucking know it. You betta recognize, bish.

[Guinevere]

OMG does Mike Schmidt look OLD. And skinny.

Thank god for Tito's sense of humor. I certainly hoped the parade-goers would treat the Sox a bit more graciously, but that must have been crazy wishful thinking.

Where is this on?

[troll] Well it isn't on NESPN, NESPN 2, or NESPNNews. I know this because my Tom Werner cable box has a guide that told me. It turns out it is on FSox. Did you see what they did? They rolled out a red carpet. Are you kidding me? Respect the rings!!!!!! OOOOOH! Look there is Papelbum. I hope someone shoots him. No, I mean it. I actually hope that, because I am an internet tough guy with huge self esteem issues. I wish my father hugged me, just once.[/troll]

[vtred]

Yankee fans are livid because there was a report (Lohud blog) that Papelbon dared wear an obscene (middle finger) t-shirt in the hallowed Yankee locker room this afternoon.

[SoxScout]

Dear god first pitch is not till 8:40 at the earliest.

I think it's crazy to have the Sox in this thing. Francona I guess has to but otherwise the hell with this. They're lucky they don't get hit with a brick.

more than that, he hit the crushing grand slam last postseason. I like the guy, really. I also like the nickname of Nancy.

[brs3]

I thought this was going to be live when I went down to the parade earlier today. This parade took place between 1-4!

[vtred]

Tito speaking to the troops...

[SoxScout]

I was expecting Tito to yell UBUNTU at the end of his team meeting there.

[Foulkey Reese]

Banks seems like a cool dude.

[Guinevere]

Ernie Banks -- what a classy guy! Loved him with Fukidome.

[vtred]

Spike Lee...ugh

[InsideTheParker]

Is all this Francona stuff on FOX? Every time I glance over they are talking to some guy in the parade. Where are you seeing the team meeting?

I have the sound off, because the Yankeephilia was making me bilious.

Ugh! Spike Lee.

[Guinevere]

My god...7:10 and i'm all Yankee'd out...this is gonna be a looooooonnnnngggg night...

The first 5 minutes were more than sugary enough for me - although I'll stick it out anyway.

[Foulkey Reese]

Spike Lee is retarded.

[RedOctober3829]

Carisa Thompson is an unreal piece of ass. She covered Colorado games for Fox Sports Rocky Mountain when I was there. Up close she is something else.

It was on FOX just before the Banks segment.

Frankie Rob, woo hooo! Where is Brooksie and Cal?

eta: Saw Cal, but still no sign of Brooksie.

They showed a brief look-in at Tito's pregame speech, in between terrible interviews with Spike Lee and others.

Why do the players need to have their wives with them for this?

"Let's play two"

Say Hey!

[Pearl Wilson]

Oh that's nice. World Series trophy is in the parade. Just in case, you know, New Yorkers forgot what it looked like.

[Fratboy]

Okay, this is painful.
