It's both a Patriots' Day and an international edition of Pod on Lansdowne!
John McGee with the British-based Bat Flips and Nerds podcast and blog joined us American yankees (original meaning of the term, not the baseball-related one) to talk some Red Sox, MLB followings in England, and direct comparisons to MLB and British soccer teams. Do not fret: we also had some Boris "Olde English D" Johnson talk in there. Follow the good folks at Bat Flips and Nerds on Twitter (@batflips_nerds).
The typical three amigos also talked about those Sox, who had a hot-and-cold week against Detroit and Minnesota. We went into hot stars from Alex Verdugo and Michael Wacha, potential lineup shakeups, and more. We also talked about shotgunning beers at the new Truly Terrace in right field; little less analytical of a topic.
Our analysis of the upcoming Sox matchups--against Toronto and Tampa Bay--fell off the tracks. Have you ever heard of a Triscuitt Messmer? Neither had we. Let's learn together as we dive into Disney's classic films Holes and Angels In The Outfield.
Opening song is "Baseball" by Hippo Campus, closing song is "Dig It" by the D-Tent Boys. "Rainy Day" by Coldplay led in the interview with John MeGee.
RIP Tony Longo.
