It's as if 170 million dollars screamed out at once in terror, and were suddenly silenced.

This Fox pre-game show makes no sense! Why would you subject the nation to more A.J. Pierzynski? I don't know how I feel about Terry Francona, maybe it will make Joe Buck less awful?
Come to think of it, the only person I don't find unbearable from Fox's broadcast team is Ken Rosenthal.

Any move that gives us less Tim McCarver is a good one.

You can't possibly want less Tim McCarver. C'mon man.

Francona was pretty awful early on as he proceeded to felate nearly every player on the field from the booth. He's settled down on that, but I spent a decent amount of time trying to figure out how to sync up an MLB At Bat radio feed with the Fox broadcast  . |

The turnaround is almost sicking. Boston has become spoiled and decadent with all it's titles. It's high time they got back to their shitty roots. |

I like the Boston teams and have since I was a kid. They are a bunch of assholes right now though.

Beckett has always had the potential to be an asshat. He was a punk when he was younger and that's why it took him so long to find his game. I guess we never really change, huh?

Oh boy, character assassinations are always my favorite!
This was said in the context of end-of-season awards but one of the points brought up about starters was that they would frequently leave on say, an earlier flight while games were still in-progress. The whole "having a party in the clubhouse while your team's losing" angle is just lurid if leaving outright isn't out of the ordinary.

Happy flight indeed! Now if we can just get some starting pitching from someone not named Chris Carpenter. |

Fucking Cardinals. I guess I was right about the Brewers not having World Series caliber pitching. |

Heh. Texas has them down to the last strike TWICE and can't get it done.

The Rangers pitching has gone into total greasefire mode. EDIT: And as a Braves fan, I saw that coming. |

Two really odd pinch hitting decisions late in the game. Just wound up being the Rangers' that came back to burn them.

Those last innings just about killed me. Freese has just been a beast for the entire playoffs. ON TO GAME 7!

Nelson Cruz showed exactly why you can't play a DH in the outfield. He made a fucking mess of that ball in the 9th inning. It would have been a step above routine if he knew the first thing about playing defense.

Second time he's done that this post season. Second time it's cost them a game.
Good thing he hit all of those homers.

Well, even if game 7 didn't turn out to be very close, still an excellent series. Sad the Giants didn't even make the playoffs, but I still enjoyed watching the series. Congrats Cardinals!
Oh, poor Ron Washington.
