Callahan not fond of 'fruitcake'
Don't count on big mouth broadcasters John Dennis and Gerry Callahan to show up at this weekend's ''Queer Eye" party at Club Cafe. Chatting with Red Sox CEO Larry Lucchino on WEEI yesterday, Callahan was miffed that Carson Kressley and friends are being allowed to throw out the first pitch at Fenway Sunday. Callahan asked Lucchino if the Sox brass received complaints about ''fruitcakes" ''sashaying" in front of children and families, and on a Sunday, of all days. ''No," replied Lucchino. (The Fab 5 will be in Boston as part of Pride Week and to screen excerpts of the ''Queer Eye" season premiere featuring the Sox.) Not satisfied, Callahan asked Sox pitcher Mike Timlin, who did play ball, saying homosexuals are ''not living correctly." Since D & C have been called on the carpet before -- comparing a gorilla to a Metco student earned them a two-week suspension -- we wondered if WEEI program manager Jason Wolfe was upset. Nope. It's not that Kressley's gay, he explained, ''it's the openness and the flaunting of it." Hmm. Joe Solmonese, president of the Human Rights Campaign and an Attleboro native, had this to say: ''Sounds to me like Timlin and the people at the radio station need a makeover."
Angel on his shoulder
Former Red Sox shortstop Orlando Cabrera, who now plays for the Los Angeles Angels, came to Boston a day earlier than his new team and paid respects to the family of baseball announcer Juan Pedro ''J.P." Villaman, who died in an auto accident earlier this week. Cabrera and Uri Berenguer, Villaman's co-host for the last four years on WROL-AM, home of the Spanish Beisbol Network, were spotted walking through the Crown Royal Club at Fenway Park a short time before yesterday's game against the Orioles. Cabrera and the Angels open a three-game stand at Fenway tonight.
Snap it up
Pedro Martinez may be pitching for the Mets in New York, but his pint-size pal Nelson de la Rosa is still hanging around Fenway. De la Rosa, who stands 2 feet 4 inches, was spotted inside the park and also at the Baseball Tavern on Boylston Street, where he posed for photos with fans, charging $10 for a Polaroid. (To get in the picture, de la Rosa stood on a pool table.) . . . Also lurking around Fenway was former Bruin and WAAF DJ Lyndon Byers, who was seen yesterday wearing a T-shirt that said ''Blind by noon."
