The Red Sox announced the longtime radio voice of the Sox - and of summertime in New England - is retiring after more than 40 years.

Sox fans not only ones on the edge of their seats last night

And this is why Castiglione and Obie are infinitely superior to ESPN announcers

Even aside from the fact that we don't ever have to see them wearing salmon jackets against dusky rose backgrounds (or whatever the hell that was), they don't make up crappy nicknames for Sox players.

Imagine if baseball announcers called operations

Joy of Sox provides the play by play:

... I'd want Castig to come to my hospital and call the operation. "And his eyesight returns, can you believe it?" ...

Speaking of baseball and health care, Bruce reports an odd sensation:

... I was watching some baseball highlights just now and I found myself rooting for the Yankees to beat Tampa Bay.

I think I need a shower.

And some penicillin.
