In this case, the Red Sox players in question actually ARE the fine wines- all in the name of charity. Manny may be crazy, Schilling may be difficult (if you’re not reading his blog, you should be- I actually kind of like him now)- but for some reason I think a glass of “Manny Being Merlot” or “Schardonnay” would be strangely satisfying. And I’m sure there’s a wicked aftertaste.
Now where are the hottie wines? I’d pay top dollar for a bottle of Jacoby Ellsbury, Javier Lopez or Kyle Jackson. And you can’t tell me a Dice-K Gyrowürztraminer wouldn’t be a big hit.

I’m surprised Schilling isn’t a Schiraz, surely the chardonnay could be Eric Chardonnay? How about AJ Pinotzinsky Noir?
I got nothin’

Would the AJ come with a complimentary follow-up Syrah-ck You Like a Hurricane Michael Barrett?

Brad Lidge registered a 8.00 BAC after loading up on TanquERA.

The Dice-K Gyrowürztraminer would probably go well with some Indian food.
Henry Sauvignon Blanco? Reynel Pinto Pinot Gris? Lou Boudreau Bordeaux?
Rod ‘Mal’beck? Would Andre Galarraga have the Big Cat Muscat? Ok that’s pushing it. I’m done.

I lied – I could go for a nice Miguel Cabreranet Sauvignon.

I kind of doubt that a Gewürztraminer, no matter how cute the name, would be a big seller….yuck.

I’m sorry, but you just combined three of my passions – baseball, wine and bad puns/jokes.
Highly touted Braves pitcher BeauJoneslais Nouveau is a good prospect that fans would like to enjoy prematurely. But ideally he needs more time to develop.
PeteJayHawk – What’s yucky about Gewurztraminers?

There’s your pun. Put it into your own context. It’s quittin’ time.
April 4, 2007 at 5:58 pm |
I love Gewurtztraminer and Riesling, you just take your “yucks” somewhere else, Pete.

What about a Big Papi Porto? It’s heavy, but really, really good.
I’ll bet the JD Brew is awful.
Matsuzaka’s alcoholic beverage can only be “Dai-Sake”.

My dad found a bottle of Bobby Douglass wine somewhere. No puns or anything in the name, there were a couple other old Bears players in the series but I don’t remember the others.
My contribution to the puns: Jose Rijoja

My people do many things well. White wine is not one of them.

YDD, it’s funny you mention that considering he owns a bar (and accompanying restaurant and accompanying hotel) in Lawrence. I wonder how much he’d pay to get that.

I’d pay top dollar for a bottle of Jacoby Ellsbury, Javier Lopez or Kyle Jackson
I’d slurp that right up.
What?

I’m admittedly low-rent. Give me a 2 for $5 special on Bret Boone’s Farm.

I dont drink wine, im not nearly cultured enough. Read: im in college. Beer or Rum, those are the options.

I would think Schilling might not want his image over the word “Longball”.
We didn’t drink much wine until we went to California on our honeymoon, but I still don’t know shit about it. I just pick the one with the coolest label. In wine circles, I’m like the person who wins the NCAA pool because they picked the coolest mascot.
