It would be so nice to be in what you thought was Sox country, as I lived in Fairfield County. You'd get TV-38 an everything. But then you'd see this eastern CT station showing the Yanks. Speaking of this, is the ALDS sked out? Have they already decided to put the Yanks as the prime time game, like, every time, or have they realized that's we're "America's team" or whatever?Jerehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13448619048422750447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-28142224355451263892007-10-01T05:53:00.000-07:002007-10-01T05:53:00.000-07:00How can a man who's been around baseball his whole...How can a man who's been around baseball his whole life believe such a thing?<BR/><BR/>Even more of a mystery -- how do network execs believe he enhances the coverage. His so-called attempts at humor are mostly just clumsy and embarrassing attempts at word play. And he has the delivery of a (bad) college lecturer. I really think he's the worst out there today -- though the competition for the title is admittedly intense.curthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05441638730439441206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-32938606122135952772007-10-01T05:21:00.000-07:002007-10-01T05:21:00.000-07:00So....Is Manny going to stay in the 2-spot?Caron w...<I>So....Is Manny going to stay in the 2-spot?</I><BR/><BR/>Caron was arguing that with Eck after the game yesterday (he was for it).

Chip Caray is good, but he's likely to be paired up with Tony Gwinn. I like Tony Gwinn, but not so much as a color analyst. It'll be interesting to see who it'll be. Four announcers, four color analysts. Four Division Series.<BR/><BR/><I>This year, I'm going to do what my dad always did*, and watch the game with the sound off while listening to the radio.

It helped that I have a nearby FM Red Sox affiliate, so the sound came in nice and clear.
