Earlier in the week, GQ released their top five announcing crews and it included the dynamic duo of NESN Red Sox play-by-play man Don Orsillo and color analyst Jerry Remy as the fourth overall announcing crew.

So during last night's game against the Texas Rangers as the rain was approaching, DO said the rain might impact the RemDawg's packing. As they were talking about packing and what suits to wear on the trip, DO thought that maybe their GQ ranking was because of the way they dress.

And the conversation continued about fashion but the best part of what happened was when they realized where they ranked in the AL. I won't spoil that surprise but you really need to watch the conversation before that leads into that moment.

Here it is in its entirety for you to enjoy:

It wasn't a good start to the unofficial start to the second half of the 2010 season for the Boston Red Sox. They had come into last night's game having won just two of their last seven games and were facing off against the AL West-leading Texas Rangers.

Any chance of a Red Sox win was pretty much tucked in and put to bed in the first inning when the Rangers erupted for six runs off of Tim Wakefield. The Rangers had a plan of attacking Wake's knuckleball early and they did. Wake did settle down for a five pitch second inning but he was chased in the third after a single, an error and a double made it 7-0.

Robert Manuel came in and did yeoman's work as he allowed two hits and a walk while striking out one. Dustin Richardson followed up with a 1/3 of an inning and issued three walks. Scott Atchison, who really has come in to his own since returning the Red Sox,  gave the Red Sox three strong innings, allowing just a hit with a strikeout.

Offensively the Red Sox really couldn't muster much against Tommy Hunter, who had been rocked in his only Fenway appearance back in 2008. He managed to shutdown the Red Sox as he only gave up five hits and two runs in 6 2/3 innings. The only runs the Red Sox would score last night came on solo home runs from J.D. Drew and Bill Hall.

They were without Adrian Beltre who had an MRI before the game that showed just a strain of his hamstring. Given the way he's played offensively, the Red Sox can't really afford to be without him. The good news is that he could be back in the lineup tonight.

On the injury front, Manny Delcarmen pitched a scoreless inning for the Portland Sea Dogs and it looks like he'll be activated before Saturday's game. MDC was joined in New Britain, CT by his teammate Jeremy Hermida who went 2-for-4 while serving as the DH for the Sea Dogs. Hermida will play in left tonight and then DH again on Saturday before heading to Boston to be examined.

It's a big day for Clay Buchholz as he'll make a rehab start for the Pawtucket Red Sox in Syracuse. It's also a big day for Dustin Pedroia and Jason Varitek as they'll be examined to see how their broken feet are progressing.

Definitely not the way the Red Sox wanted to start the second half but it's just one game. Hopefully the young lefty Felix Doubront can help them get back on the winning side of things tonight.

We'll be back later with tonight's lineups, batter/pitcher matchups, any news and links from the day but for now enjoy the overnight links after the jump.

Tim Wakefield gets the ball from Terry Francona to kickoff the unofficial start to the second half of the season. Wake has made 18 appearances (14 starts) in 2010 and is 3-6 with a 5.22 ERA. He's made one start against the Rangers this season back on 4/20 where he took a no decision after allowing six runs in six innings. Overall in his career, he's made 34 appearances (27 starts) against the Rangers and is 10-15 with four saves and a 6.09 ERA.

He's made two career appearances against the Red Sox and is 1-1 with an 11.74 ERA. He's made just one start at Fenway where he took the loss after allowing nine runs in 1 2/3 innings back in 2008.
