Because we can only impose so much of our own blabbering on people, for the latest SG podcast, we went out and got a legitimate high-falutin’ guest: Stewart O’Nan, co-author of Faithful. In the span of a half hour, we manage to discuss 2004, 2007, JD Drew, Cesar Crespo, Josh Reddick, the Sox’ October chances and Denton’s community service.

Among the insightful bits, Stewart tells us that Scribner, publisher of Faithful, was originally against using the infamous A-Rod/Tek “smell the glove” photo, as they feared it would “turn off women.”

Not the women who read this blog, hombres.
