  1. I agree with the first three, but don't y'all think that both Mazz and Ryan have a certain je ne sais quoi as well? Er...

  1. I don't know why they don't use her as the NESN sideline reporter for Red Sox Baseball. She knows her stuff and is very witty. She could easily trade quips with Don & Jerry the way TC, Dan Roache, and Eric Friede used to when they were in that role.

  1. I agree with Mr. Relwof above about Amalie...she is adorable. I feel more at ease about the Red Sox whenever I look at her & listen to her.

  1. Amalie, could you please be a somewhat responsible journalist and lay off the cracks about attendance and the location of Tropicana Field? "Where ever we are" and "hopefully the stands a little bit more filled than they are right now" are juvenile and trite attempts at humor.

  1. and Chris, the name of the park is Tropicana Field, not "the Tropicana Dome". The Trop has been through a few names in its existence, but that isn't one of them.

  1. Hey Pendleton, why are you so miserable? Does it make your day to come here to nitpick? If so, you should get a life. The correct name of the park is so very important to us all, thank you so much for that correction. Now go over to the Herald, there may be huge problems over there that require your editing.

  1. Guys... not to be "that guy", but she's a professional. Treat her like one.

  1. pendleton, you should probably stop acting like baby and take a joke. Honestly you would probably be a whole hell of alot happier if you did

  1. I think Amalie is adorable but I can't help feeling that she is about as emotionally invested in her sports reporting as she would be the covering a traffic report. In watching her video, I can't escape the feeling that it doesn't mean much to her one way or the other, the game, the job, the Sox.
