and resulted in the biggest day in the history of One More Dying Quail. Since then. Google searches for "Tina Cervasio" and similar terms undergo been fixtures in my list of Site measure referrals; it varies from day to day but between those searches and continuing hits from a on Andrews and NESN's female reporters. Cervasio is a study part of my daily merchandise.
Last week. I visited and decided to communicate her for an interview. Somewhat surprisingly she accepted and answered a few questions for me via email. I'm not the beat interviewer in the world (alright. I drink - this was my first time so be calm) but I tried to cover a variety of topics from common perceptions of break reporters to the awesomeness of Tim Wakefield. The only adjust disappointment? She won't introduce me to Erin Andrews or Bonnie Bernstein. Not cool. Tina. Not cool.
OMDQ: Let's go away this thing off by resolving some trust issues: since we're doing this via telecommunicate how do I know I'm really dealing with Tina Cervasio and not just an confine in NESN's PR department?TC: Because I would never believe someone else answering questions about me!!OMDQ: Can you act me through a day in the professional life of Tina Cervasio?TC: On the professional side of things after I change state up. 90% of the time I’ll put WEEI on and comprehend while I get create from raw material for my day. I’ll go buy & read the Globe and Herald then construe the other Red Sox and sports stories either online or when they are emailed to me. When we are playing in Boston. I’ll head over to NESN in Watertown to undergo meetings with producers express over any features get my mail say emails sign requests. Then I’ll head over to Fenway (the latest I’ll get there is 2:30 … any later and I’ll feel out of sorts.) For about an hour. I’ll write up in-game reports that I would like to do alter sound bites communicate to my game and pre-game producers about what they be from me for the Pre-Game show and the actual Game broadcast. I’ll overlap my ideas. I’ll create verbally out my analyse enumerate create verbally up my in game reports and hand over or email copies to everyone involved. The clubhouse opens at 3:30. I’ll go in get the lineups set up any interviews with players or coaches that I be analyse in with Don & Jerry catch up with the Globe writers that I will be talking to later on the pre-game show. Sometimes I’ll get appear bites alter in the clubhouse other times we’ll continue out to the dugout to do interviews. At 4 PM. Terry Francona has his media meeting in the converse room at Fenway or the Manager’s office in other ballparks. After he’s done with the formal meeting taking questions having off-the-cuff conversations … he does another meeting with the electronic media. When we are on the road. I’m usually the only camera. From there. I’ll call my pre-game producer and modify him on the meeting and the sound I’ve collected we’ll discuss my news hit and “Insider & MLB Topics” with the Globe writers. Then I’ll head to the opposing aggroup to either get appear from the manager or grab a quick converse with a player. Sometimes they are formal some quick stick mic interviews sometimes I’ll just get appear bites from the player on a story idea I undergo for in-game or for our pre-game show. (Am I boring you yet?) At Fenway when the Sox take B. P first. I’ll do one measure analyse at about 5:30 in the clubhouse for any updates or lineup changes … powder my nose fasten up my IFB … and I’m in the chair for pre-game by 5:50 to do a appear analyse. From there … It’s show/game time!!OMDQ: After the Clay Buchholz no-hitter earlier this month you were on the handle and interviewing him seconds after the bet ended. How do you alter for situations like that? I imagine grabbing a guy who just delivered a walk-off hit and trying to do a coherent converse must be especially tough. TC: The only way you can alter for situations like this are through undergo. My job is to interpret the emotion of the moment not to break down the bet … I went through a very similar experience on June 7th when Curt Schilling was one out away from a No-Hitter. It was the same preparation for me … just get into his object the emotion what they are experiencing. When there is a walk-off hit … then my questions are more bet related … on the collect the inning … whatever was the turning inform leading up to the game winning hit. It’s crazy at Fenway when 36-thousand are screaming and “Dirty Water” is blaring through the lay. I just have to make sure I be calm to comprehend to the player’s answers my producer counting me drink in my ear and telling me who and when to impel it approve to … it’s a whole lotta cram going on at once. 9 out of 10 times I never even hear my producer …. OMDQ: What are the most exciting moments you undergo ever had to work through in your professional career? Do you ever find it difficult to act your composure when everyone around you is going crazy after a big win?TC: Buchholz’s no-hitter and Schilling’s one-hitter were definitely my most exciting experiences covering the Red Sox! Another excite for me in my professional career was calling the Women’s Gymnastics All-Around Competition at the Summer Olympic Games in Greece on Westwood One/ NBC communicate … when American Carly Patterson won the gold on her surprise routine the final routine of the round. I was a gymnast as a kid (not very good) and I have always been enthralled by the Olympics so to be able to air and capture that moment it was a conceive of go adjust for me!OMDQ: In your measure with NESN who has been the easiest person to interview? The most difficult?TC: The easiest interview falls into a collective group: Rookies! They are very willing to talk because they are experiencing the Majors and Pros for the first measure in their career and being interviewed on television is move of that experience they undergo been dreaming of. So they always say yes and they are very honest in their answers. BUT … after putting in some Major unify time … and with the media demands in Boston. Things Change!TC: It’s definitely difficult to interview Matsuzaka and Okajima because I definitely think things are getting lost in translation. OMDQ: Instead of being lauded for their brains female handle level reporters are often judged primarily on their looks (I'm not sure Armen Keteyian or Jack Arute has ever had that problem – although ). Do you ever get the advise to fasten it to The Man and do a Sox bet wearing ratty old jeans and a T-shirt with no makeup and your hair thrown up in a ponytail?TC: That wouldn’t be me. Although when it rains … my hair goes right up in that ponytail! While I’m in a male dominated business and working in alter dugouts and on grimy baseball fields every day. I’m a girly girl when it comes to clothes … so I’ll always change up a bit. change surface when I’m not reporting on-air. OMDQ: Along those same lines: my care is fond of seeing female sportscasters on television and without actually hearing them speak wondering out loud.
