If this were 1996 do you think you would ever see this picture...

Of course you wouldn't. Dr. Dre in a Red Sox uniform, in Boston? Never would've happened. You know some crazy Bad Boy Records "exec" would be at Fenway to beef with the good Dr and all hell would break loose.

The good news is, this is 2010 and it's official, the BEEF IS OVAH!!

Some believe it ended when Tupac and Biggie were killed, but truth be told I think it ended when these guys realized there was MUCH more money to be made by being a touch "friendlier" to mainstream America. Still gangsta, but gangsta chic if you will.

So, what's the point of all this? Well, Dr. Dre was in the Bean over the weekend to promote his new line of Beats headphones branded with the Red Sox logo on them. You can get them here.

Ok, yes the $400 price tag is eye popping to say the least, but I have tried a pair of these out and take it from me, a former DJ, these headphones will blow your mind...NO LIE. The sound that these headphones put out is absolutley phenomenal. Plus, when you wear them you can rock your Nation pride.

A couple other notes on Dre...his new single will be realeased in a couple of weeks, it's called "Under Pressure" and it features Jay-Z. The much anticpated album "Detox" is scheduled to be released before the end of the year. Of course, this is not new news to you if you caught the Opening Day pre-game with Heidi Watney:



Dre and Jimmy Iovine also showed up on another peculiar show the other day...that would be Maria Bartiroma's CNBC show. I know they are on their grind, but really!??!?!?

Schilling never threw a single pitch. Manny's dew-rag no longer has a "B" on the front, it is now Dodger Blue with an "LA" embroidered in white. Although he and Joe Torre are headed to postseason play, Derek Jeter is not. The Yankees are headed to Tampa next week, not to play the Rays but to hit the links and begin their off season preparations. The Yankees are going home early. Fine! The weirdest news is still to come. Jonathon Papelbon stole three bases tonight. No, he was not pinch running. He did all of this while soaked in beer. As part of the 2008 celebration of clinching a playoff berth, Pap literally pulled up and "stole" first, second and third base and gave them to fans that remained at Fenway to help the local nine and company celebrate.

In the best news of the day, the Red Sox broke a long standing rule concerning the retirement of players numbers. Recognizing the contributions of Johnny Pesky along with the realization that his career numbers were buffered by three years of military service. The Red Sox announced that they will indeed retire Pesky's number 6 in a ceremony Friday night at Fenway. This marks the eve of his 89th birthday and makes him the first player not inducted in the Baseball Hall of Fame to be recognized by the franchise with this honor. All in all a fantastic day on Landsdowne. In a related note, Heidi Watney looks great soaking wet with champagne.
