It happened as the Red Sox began batting in the top of the fourth inning.

Bob had a new job title, but I also thought he was still had some control over "discipline."<BR/><BR/>I was at the Stadium when another guy fell onto the net (was it a Sox game?). He laid there for a few minutes -- completely still. And play went on for a little bit until someone noticed. We thought he had been knocked out.<BR/><BR/>As he was crawling up to the loge to be arrested, he raised his arms in the air like he had won a heavyweight bout. Loser.<BR/><BR/>Interesting how so little has been made of the Yankee fan taking a swipe punch at Podsednik the other night. ...allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-1123700506493890172005-08-10T12:01:00.001-07:002005-08-10T12:01:00.001-07:00The Kenny Rogers thing is absolutely unbelievable....The Kenny Rogers thing is absolutely unbelievable. And of course, it happens just in time so he'll get to face the Red Sox.<BR/><BR/>Good news? He hasn't pitched since July 26 (except for side sessions) so there's a good chance he's rusty. Better news? Last start he had at Fenway (July 10, 2004) he got positively shallacked:<BR/><BR/>1.2IP, 9H, 8ER<BR/><BR/>Boston went on to win that game 14-6.

He immediately jumped ahead of each of hitter 0-2, only to be unable to induce a K or putout. Was it brains, balls or both that kept Plymouth's own from being able to close the deal?As the record will show, Clement deserved a better outcome.<BR/><BR/>While this 4-hour, 13-minute epic of fielding and pitching futility was excruciating enough to watch(saved only by the outcome), it was all the more difficult to watch here in Texas with the NESN feed on the dish preempted by Fox Sports SW with the itinerant chucklehead and Rangers color man, Tom Grieve.<BR/><BR/>His unabashed affection for all things Rangerm inane analysis, and incessant bleating about the ump squeezing the strike zone on the Rangers' pitcher take the term homer to a new level. For those of you who take Remy and Orsillo for granted, two words of advice - don't. Ever.<BR/><BR/>As a play-by-play guy, Rangers broadcaster Josh Lewin is serviceable, but I would rather take out my own appendix than ever have to listen to another game with Grieve providing his arcane observations and mindless musings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
