Fireside Chats #37: Where we get the goods from the Red Seat and talk long term contracts

by | Mar 10, 2009 | Fireside Chats Podcast

Boston Red Sox podcast on MVN Radio, Episode #37 where we get the goods from the Red Seat and talk long term contracts.

Episode #37
Hosts: Paul Testa, Tim Daloisio
Guests: Chris from The Red Seat, The Red Seat

Spring Training brings out the best in Paul and I as we go into the rolodeck for a special guest, one of our favorite apparel producers in Red Sox Nation, Chris from The Red Seat.

But before we talk t-shirts, we talk contracts.  Spurred on by the good “news” of Jon Lester’s “reported” contract extension, we talk long term contracts.  We wouldn’t be surprised if there wasn’t an extension in the works for closer, Jonathan Papelbon.  Not that he wouldn’t be deserving, we make the case that it’s not in either sides’ best interest.  Plus, have you seen Daniel Bard pitch this spring?

As you prepare for your Fenway Park wardrobe this summer, look no further than our friends at The Red Seat (http://www.theredseat.com).  Chris tells us about his company and where they come up with their great designs.  I still think they missed a best seller in a Manny shirt, but their repertoire of t-shirts rivals that of Dice-K’s pitches.

Chris was kind enough to offer up some shirts as giveaways to Fireside Chats listeners over the next four weeks as we prepare for Opening Day.  But we are going to make you earn it.  Next week, we’ll be giving out one Red Seat t-shirt to the caller (yes you have to call in and leave a voice mail – the number’s below) who best describes their first Fenway Park experience.  Paul and I will select the best narration to win a Red Seat original t-shirt.

All that and more on Episode #37 of Fireside Chats on MVN!

Thanks for listening!
