Another one to file in the "How the Hell Did We Get Into This Situation" Bin, Joe and I are playing a black tie benefit with the Captain Miles Band on Saturday. John Henry, owner of the Red Sox, is being honored for his charity work. Wyc Grousbeck, the owner and CEO of the Boston Celtics, is sitting in on drums. Peter Wolf, front man for the J. Geils Band, is sitting in on vocals. And then there's Joe and me. Weird. I'll be sure to give you a full report next week.

I had a dream about it last night. I was on stage and all the Red Sox were in the audience. I kept making jokes about Bellhorn and they were going over great.

"Mark Bellhorn was so excited when he won the World Series that he said (mumble mumble mumble)."

Any time a joke bombed, I'd go back to Bellhorn. "Quick - somebody put a spoon under Bellhorn's nose to see if he's still breathing." It was killing. Bellhorn was my go-to guy.

I just hope Bellhorn is there on Saturday. If not, we're in biiiiig trouble.
