It's almost amazing how lazy this guy is. I haven't seen a Boston Globe Shank column for over a week; Bob Ryan has written three in that same time span.
Noticed this week - Shank hasn't been doing his Saturday radio show (98.5 FM) lately; Comcast Sports New England has started a Saturday morning program this week (9:00 - 12:00 noon) called The Baseball Show with Bob Neumeier, Lou Merloni, Sean McAdam and Shank. I'm listening to a bit of it right now, and it's OK as far as three hours of baseball talk goes, mainly because I haven't heard Shank say anything...
He's on vacation. I think he'll be back in July, but after the Bruins series, he probably took some time off.
ReplyDeleteThe Baseball Show is a revamped version of the one that was simulcast on CSN-NE and WEEI a couple of years ago. The lineup then had Felger, Dickerson, Merloni, Buckley, and McAdam when Sean and Felger were still in the WEEI orbit.
ReplyDeleteAnon - he did two shows with The Baseball Insiders and wrote two CNN / SI columns in the past three weeks. The Globe used to tell us when columnists were on vacation, and I didn't see any of that. Am I stupid using these facts to draw the (unwritten) conclusion that he wasn't on vacation?
ReplyDeleteI think you owe me an apology, not that I'll be holding my breath.
