And Even That Guy Had More on His Fastball Than Beckett
Remy Should Get an Emmy for His Colorful Commentary

Don Orsillo: This is episode three [of NESN�s Sox Appeal] that you�re looking in on� how do you think this is going Jerry?

Remy: � Umm� he�s talking like crazy and she seems to be listening. He�s a leaner� I don�t know� he looks like Dan Roche.

Orsillo: I don�t think Dan wears an earring. I don�t know, I haven�t seen him wear one before, but I guess it�s possible.

Remy: I think he�s nervous, he looks very fidgety.

Orsillo: He�s a leaner..

Remy: He�s a leaner, and his head shakes a lot. I think he�s nervous because he�s on television� I thought that was a phony smile, did you?

Orsillo: Yeah, I think it�s very fake� I don�t think he cares at all what she�s saying�

Remy: I think he cares too much, I think he�s just very nervous� � What�s all this stuff he�s got in front of him? There�s gifts�

Orsillo: He�s got a lot of stuff� look he�s still leaning, you�re right about the leaning� it�s incredible how you picked that out right away

Remy: Look at his head, he�s up, he�s down, he�s all over the place. If you were one of those people, you read faces and all that, I think you�d read that this guy�s very nervous

Orsillo: Too much�

Remy: You gotta sit and you just gotta look deep into their eyes�

Orsillo: Ooooow! [big laughter breaks out]� that was quite a move [see photo above]. Can we get that back in replay, that was�

Remy: Did you see that head move?

Orsillo: Yeah, very nervous. And more drinking!

Remy: And drinking quickly, too �

Orsillo: This isn�t going very well

Remy: Well he thinks it is � � What do they call those people that they read body language all the time, you see them on O�Reilly all the time, he has somebody on there that reads body language, boy they�d be going nuts with that guy, there�s all kinds of stuff going on�

Orsillo: Lots of stuff going on�

Remy: I swear to God Don, I think the best approach is you sit there calmly, look deep into her eyes and say �How you doin�?� and then let it go�

Orsillo: Well, wait a minute, you�re going to have two long innings and then you throw that out there in the beginning of the next inning too, I mean, you gotta have something more than that? [laughing]

Remy: You can always fall back on �How you doin�?�, because she�s might be doing different like, three minutes from now than she was doing two minutes ago, you know I mean? �But you gotta look straight into here eyes, you can�t be bobbing and weaving because she can�t focus on you if you�re doing that.

Orsillo: How you doin�? �

Remy: It�s hard to follow this guy�

Orsillo: You just sit back, and become mysterious

Remy: You drop that famous line, �I noticed you were sitting here alone, you shouldn�t of been�� [laughter]

Orsillo: �Are your legs tired? Because you�ve been running around in my mind all day�� [bust out laughter]� [snort] �
