Jerry Remy Recuperating from Pneumonia

May 4th, 2009 | by Darryl Johnston |

Nice digs, Jerry.

The RemDawg posted an update on Twitter yesterday (I refuse to say Tweet) indicating the reason for his absence from NESN broadcasts:

Hi everyone [it's] Jerry. Thx for . . . your concern. In February, I had a case of pneumonia and a bad infection followed . . .
I went off to Spring Training without ever having a chance to completely recuperate. I am paying the price now . . .

I’ve decided to take some time off to fully recover. Hopefully it’ll be a short time. I miss doing the games! Thanks again, Jerry.

Almost forgot . . . Go Sox. Jerry.
