Whatever you think of the
Globe's
Dan Shaughnessy, you have to admit that the man can turn a phrase. In today's piece,
he rightfully compares this year's edition of The Carmine Hose to the lovable 1967 crew of Impossible Dream fame. And, indeed, this hirsute crew
does have the right match-ups, as Shaughnessy points out:
"John Henry is Tom Yawkey. Ben Cherington is Dick O’Connell. David Ortiz is Yaz. Jacoby Ellsbury is Reggie Smith. Mike Carp is Dalton Jones. Ryan Dempster is Lee Stange. David Ross is Mike Ryan. Brandon Workman is Gary Waslewski. Joe Castiglione is Ned Martin." And—as we have—he also struggles with what to call these guys, at one point referring to them as:
"The ZZ Top/House of David/John Lennon ('Man you been a naughty boy. You let your face grow long') All-Stars." The Lennon reference gave us an idea:
They Are The Egg-Men!
