Dennis Eckersley curses on NESN broadcast of Red Sox game
Red Sox Monster —
The Red Sox game had a frustrating end tonight, what with Johan Santana quieting Boston's offense long enough to lead the New York Mets to a 5-3 win . But you have to admit: NESN color commentator Dennis Eckersley truely came into his own tonight, repeating a certain "S" word during the broadcast that Kevin Youkilis appeared to yell after he was hit by a Santana pitch: The video, while it lasts: For what it's worth, I'm not hatin' on Eck, here. Initially I wasn't feeling it, but I think it's fair to say his brutal, sarcastic analysis while serving as a fill-in for Jerry Remy has been mostly fun and on-point. So, uh, I ...

Now Now, Eck, You Can't Be Doing That [Media Meltdowns]
Deadspin —
Please forgive Dennis Eckersley. He's still getting used to this whole broadcasting thing — you know, having millions of people (or at least Red Sox fans) hear what you say as you go. He seems to have forgotten where he is: There's no cursing on NESN! Eckersley, who's filling in for Jerry Remy on Boston's television network, has appealed to Sox fans by doing what they do best. So last night, after Johan Santana beaned Kevin Youkilis with a fastball, Eckersley dictated Youk's response ("Shit!"), and he forgot to hit the bleep button on himself. How can you ...

FanIQ Blog —
Dennis Eckersely is currently filling in on NESN for Jerry Remy, who's battling cancer. And while Eck may have been a Hall-of-Fame pitcher, he is anything but a Hall-of-Fame announcer.
Last night Eck was in rare form as the Red Sox took on the Mets. First, Eck let the audience know exactly what Kevin Youkilis said after getting hit in the arm by Johan Santana, which he probably shouldn't have done. ...
Was Johan playing Joba?
LEEInks —
Johan Santana and his Mets rolled into Fenway Friday night and it wasn’t long before the Dennis-Eckersley’s-new-word hit the fan.
With the Mets on top, 4-3, in the bottom of the fifth inning, Santana plunked New York beanbag Kevin Youkilis. As WEEI.com’s Alex Speier documented at the time, the location of the pitch was hardly suspect given Youkilis’ tendency of crowding the plate. Nevertheless, the Sox first baseman reacted in typical fashion– by jawing his way to first.
Santana took exception and after the game ...
Dennis Eckersley's Commentary Is Most Colorful
The Sporting Blog —
The great thing about putting a microphone in front of a total novice, then subjecting them to the byzantine rules of the FCC, is that hilarity is a mortal lock to ensue.
Curious for an example? Well then yes, Dennis Eckersley would love to demonstrate exactly what we're talking about (audio is NSFW; earmuffs, kids!): ...
