My Boys Monday

Not that this is an original concept but if the cast of "My Boys" were actual people, who would they be?


PJ – Erin Andrews
PJ is a successful sports writer for the Chicago Sun Times. Her focus is the Chicago Cubs and she has an odd way of relating everything to baseball. In real life, Erin Andrews is a commentator for ESPN. You’ll probably recognize her giving heart warming stories from the seats during ESPN’s weekly baseball coverage, or anchoring ESPN’s coverage of the College World Series, among many other things. She’s also a hit on sports blogs, and we’re pretty sure PJ would be too.


Kenny - Nomar Garciaparra
Kenny could have probably starred in Superbad, as the nerdy kid trying to lose his virginity at 18. On the show he enjoys taking women out for coffee, he dated a pregnant woman and has a serious case of OCD. Between his color coded closet and creepy baseball card filing system, he’s almost certifiable. Even though we’re pretty sure Nomar was a hit with the ladies before marrying soccer superstar Mia Hamm, it’s the OCD part that reminds us of Kenny. Don’t believe us; just watch Nomar when he goes up to bat.


Mike – Ryan Langerhans
Mike had everything going for him including a plush job in the Cubs front office until the Cubs reorganized and he was out. He spent the past few months doing yoga with the mommy and me set until he started working for Kenny at his sports memorabilia shop. Ryan Langerhans made his mark during the Baby Braves movement in the 2005 season. While Jeff Francouer and Brian McCann continue excelling for the Braves, Langerhans has been shipped off; first to Oakland and then to DC. But on August 18th, Langy was sent to the minors. Ouch!

Bobby – Paul Menard
Bobby was the final edition to weekly poker nights at PJ’s. He’s also a fellow baseball writer. But recently we found out something new about him, he’s totally loaded. Paul Menard was the final puzzle in DEI’s three team plan. Menard had gained notoriety as Martin Truex, Jr.’s quasi teammate in the Busch Series before moving up to the 15 car this season. He was also one of two non-Cup drivers to win a race in that series in 2006. But Menard didn’t just bring his racing talent; he also brought the backing of a multibillion dollar corporation, Menard’s, a hardware chain, which is owned by his dad John Menard, Jr. (#114 on 2006 Forbes 400 list)
Brendan – Barry Zito
Brendan was PJ’s roommate in college and was generally a love sick, laid back guy who lived for music. Ever since his was picked one of Chicago’s hottest bachelors, he’s changed, even dating two girls at once. But you had to see that coming after last season’s on-again off-again relationship with Wendy. Barry Zito was known for his out there laid back style, scoring the forever hot Alyssa Milano and tween queen, Hilary Duff. But ever since he signed that mega contract with San Francisco, well let’s just say things have not been the same.
Andy – Doug Christie
Andy is PJ’s older brother and lone married person amongst the group. Andy lives and dies by his cell phone, waiting for the next call from his supposedly controlling wife, Meredeth. (Although after his birthday party, we’ve learned better.) Doug Christie is a former NBA player, whose tight relationship with his wife has drawn snickers from his fellow players and sports writers alike. He’s known to flash signs to his wife Jackie in the stands during games. She also traveled with him, not trusting the local skanks that litter players off the court. The two even wrote a book together and starred in a BET reality series. Talk about being whipped.
Stephanie – Heather Mitts
Stephanie has spent the greater part of two seasons ssearching for love. Whether it be on match.com or with Gregg from accounting, she’s always looking in all the wrong places. I mean her debt councilor, really? On the other side of the coin, Heather Mitts maybe known to millions as an Olympic soccer star, but she also has another impressive resume. Mitts has dated Philadelphia's top athletic bachelors like the Phillies’ Pat Burrell and the Eagles’ A.J. Feely. But with the beginning of the US Open today, you may see Mitts cheering on her new beau James Blake.
Don’t forget to catch “My Boys” tonight at 10 PM/est on TBS.

Difference being PJ is cool in real life (Jordana Sparks) and Erin Andrews is a real bitch.
