NESN Needs To Knock It The Fuck Off With The In-Booth Guests

Ok that one was worth it. But that’s it.

We just had Jenny Johnson in there babbling on about Dining Playbook while the Sox got reduced to the little screen-in-screen box, I forget who was even in there last night because I zone out when it happens, but it happens basically every single night. It’s absolutely preposterous. I know it’s Werner mostly trying to do cross-promotion but they seriously need to cut the fucking shit with it. Can you do it once a week? Could we possibly cut it down to that? Even that is significantly more often than other regional networks because I just asked on Twitter if it happens elsewhere and the overwhelming response was something to the effect of, “No. No, man. Shit, no, man. I believe you’d get your ass kicked doin’ something like that, man.” But here we are, basically every game, sometimes multiple times per game, getting other NESN shows, Globe writers, advertisers, charities, and special guests shoved down our throat. Newsflash guys, your booth is fucking boring enough this year. The last thing I need is some stranger forcing them to talk about shit they don’t care about. Just let us watch fucking baseball because I promise you this, I will be boycotting my favorite programs, ones that I never miss, like Dining Playbook and Charlie Moore until they’re out of the booth.

PS – I forgot about Clemens in booth. He was also excellent. Clemens and a dead Tommy, those are the only people I want to see in there. Or Pedro. Pedro is always welcome.
