Kevin Youkilis will be able to play final regular-season game against Yankees after all
Seems a Sox/Yankees game originally scheduled for 1 p.m. on Sept. 27 was moved to 8 p.m. so ESPN could show it, but then was moved back to 1 p.m. again because that evening happens to be the start of Yom Kippur. The un-move came after a New York congressman complained to Bud Selig. Bonus: No Joe Morgan. But looks like ESPN will still be broadcasting the game.
YES!
Finally, a weekend Sox/Yanks game that isn't broadcast by the national media. For once, I might actually be able to watch the game without hearing about how classy and professional Derek Jeter is. Amazing.
Ugh, I gloated too soon
The schedule shows the 1 p.m. game still on ESPN.
Leave Joe Morgan alone
Apparently I'm one of few, but I'm fine with Morgan's commentary, think he and Jon Miller are a good team.
I can't say the same about Joe Buck. McCarver's fine with a different play-by-play guy -- Buck just ruins a game for me.
you are nuts
Joe Morgan is a sad excuse for an announcer. He has no clue what he is ever talking about and constantly contradicts himself.
Game
Have no professional sports games ever been scheduled in NY after sundown on a Jewish holiday? If that is the case, you'd think this custom would be well known by now. I'd never heard of this situation, but I know that Jewish baseball players like Sandy Koufax have avoided games on Yom Kippur.
