Wasn't it great to hear them announced as the 2007 American League champions? Wasn't that Fox "whoosh" after each player's name superfluous and annoying? Wouldn't it have been cool to actually see Yaz throw out the first pitch instead of roughly 287 promos for Fox shows?
By the way, has anyone else seen that commercial for... some sort of medication, called "YAZ"? What marketing genius came up with that? And how does Mr. Yastrzemski feel about being linked with birth control?
My husband and I haven't watched a lot of baseball together this year. I normally listen on the radio instead (the ONLY thing WRKO has going for it, in my opinion, but i digress)...
anyway -- we've decided that we're DONE with four pitches for an intentional walk. It is a time killer, it is stupid, we're over it. We get it. Unless the batter is going to step over the plate and launch that mofo into orbit, much to the shock and surprise of EVERY human on earth... there is no need to waste my damn time.
Some sort of international symbol to the ump needs to be instated.

"Grew up playing street hockey in Canada"
And he's playing for a team named after a '70s hockey team.
1-2-3
Beckett mows 'em down in the top of the first. I love that guy.
Dustin!
My God, is there nothing he can't do?!?
I just noticed your wicked
I just noticed your wicked pissah banner up there ^
Um, rain?
Could you hold up, say, oh, a couple hours?
Something for You Photoshoppe People
Is there a Groundskeeper's Prayer?
If so, it might be fun to superimpose it on a background of praying hands with raindrops on them and some sort of Red Sox logo.
Bonus points if you can work in an American Flag.
To be kept by the TV, of course!
Heh.
Heh.
What's with those uniforms?
They're like Tampa Bay's, with those weird sleeveless top tunic things. Yuck.
After living through the
After living through the Oakland and Houston boy's pajamas of the '70s, they look great.

Watching Youk run
It's like watching a steam engine building up speed - get out of his way, now!
I gots only one thing to say
YOUUUUUUUUUUUK!!!!

Batting practice
And the hits just keep on coming.
I think the lead might be
I think the lead might be Gagne-safe.
Let's not get carried away
Let's not get carried away now.
13-1
OK, maybe now you're right.
And maybe we could lend them a pitcher?
I'm waiting for the 5th
I'm waiting for the 5th inning to end so I can run down the block to the laundromat before it closes!
10-1. I may have to take a 'wardrobe day' tomorrow.
Echoing Ken Coleman...
"Mercy!"
In this context, can we apply the standard little
league Mercy rules?
'Mercy' was Ned Martin.
Can You Believe It?
I like Joe Castiglione, but he's got to pull back on his favorite catch phrase. The way he's going, we'll start hearing it when he orders a hot dog.
"And I got extra mustard! Can you believe it?"

"Francona should put Cassel
"Francona should put Cassel in to pitch, and if he gives up a run, pull him and put Beckett back in." -- a Fark comment
Not bad, not bad.
I like how Joe Buck just said the Sox are "up by a dozen." When you're down by so many points that the number has a name, it's a bad night.
So much for any hope that
we wouldn't see any more ads with that bed-head moron.
Okay
They have officially devoted way too much air time to the possibility of America winning a free taco.
Then again, maybe Joe Buck is using it to try and inject drama into the game.
True confession
I've been upstairs for an hour on the exercise bike, listening to the game on RKO, um, EEI. Castiglione and Geffner are just so superior.
If it happens... is there
If it happens...
is there some way to arrange for someone else to have my taco?
I've eaten at a Taco Bell twice in my life, and both times there was a long black piece of hair in my food.
That taco bell conversation
was just surreal.
Anybody know where I can find a video clip and/or transcript to show my husband, who wasn't watching the game at that time?
Transcript
Surviving Grady (natch) posts it.
That kid...
...could be our Rally Monkey. You know, if we did lame stuff like that.
Fox can't afford new photos?
They just had some chart comparing Beckett with other great post-season pitchers. And it showed him with last year's goatee (or whatever it was).
LOVE that kid... He was
LOVE that kid... He was dancing kinda like a muppet, and I always think of Manny as a muppet.
It's 13-1. Why doesn't Tito
It's 13-1. Why doesn't Tito bring in Gagne and save Timlin?
Cora wants it badly?!?
Oh, please.
GAGNE!!!
GAGNE!!!
Three to go
Yow! Why, even Gagne looked good.
Glad to get the win, but
Glad to get the win, but that was painful to watch after a while. Is three consecutive walk-in runs a postseason record?
Jeff Francis
Am I the only one who thinks Jeff Francis looks like Josh Groban? Sheesh, he looked like he was about 15.
