The Empire Returns
Well, the Yankees hit town tonight for a four game series. With them being 2.5 games behind the first place Red Sox right now, it should make for a very interesting series.
The biggest news in the series will most likely come around the fact that Schilling is back and is pitching from the bullpen. I think it will be very interesting to see how the always vocal Sox fans will react to how he does coming out of the pen. I think if he falters, it’s going to get real ugly around here real fast.
The Sox also acquired Chad Bradford from the A’s for Jay Payton. His sumbariner style is interesting to watch to say the least. That gives the Sox pen a little more depth, so that’s a plus.
While on the subject of the Sox, a number of music related items. Bronson Arroyo’s CD came out this past Tuesday and there was a CD release party last night at Avalon. I heard Bronson performing on the radio yesterday morning and was rather impressed. Anyone go to the CD Release Party?
Lastly, Hot Stove Cool Music this Saturday night at Fenway. There may still be some tickets left, but last I heard (on Sunday) there were only a few then, so it may be sold out. Should be an good time at Fenway even without baseball.
Wow! Bronson has a CD? I did a quick google search and found this page which has an audio clip of Bronson singing “Slide”. Not bad!
Mike Inez played on the CD? Wow. From Alice in Chains to Bronson. Interesting world!
According to this post at the Royal Rooters, Bronson will be signing autographs at the Virgin Megastore on Sat Jul 16! I’m assuming that the proceeds are going to a charity, but I haven’t googled enough about it today. Work, right, I should do some work…
