Don't know. I think Cash should have been starting today but then again, he is supposed to call a good game (tek that is)
If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Life is short, live long!!

I'd rather be a wiseass than a dumbass.

There is a delay in tonight's game because of an injury to the plate umpire.

Question: Since Coco got to third because of the error, would it be an unearned run?

Since I decided not to drink while the game is on, they've been winning. Guess I'll be sober. :lol: :lol:

Just got home...

1) Many people are comparing this Red Sox playoff run to the 2004 playoff run so I will play along........ in 2004 the Red Sox won game 6 4-2 led by an unlikely HR by Mark Bellhorn..... tonight the Red Sox won 4-2 led by an unlikely HR by Varitek.... I still don't believe what I saw with that Varitek HR....

2) In 2004 Schilling got shelled early in the series and bounced back in game 6 to pitch very well.... in 2008 Beckett early in the series got shelled and bounced back in game 6 to pitch great......
2.a) I don't care what the Red Sox say, Beckett is hurt, you don't pull your "ace" from a must win game after 78 pitches unless you are concerned about him.


3) TBS, HOW HOW HOW do you screw up that bad that you can't show the start of the game? I get things happen but the fact they had a pregame show scheduled to start at 7:30pm gave them a 40 minute lead to fix things before the first pitch at 8:10, it took until 8:30pm ti get it fixed! This is completely unacceptable! I don't care what happened in Atlanta , there has to be a backup plan.... really, the Steve Harvey Show was the best they could do in it's place, Really! Seriously! The most anticipated game of the year and this happens? This is why MLB needs to get baseball off these third rate cable stations and back onto a real TV signal! I bet he FOX TV executives were laughing and laughing about this! I want to know what happened and who was fired for this screw up!

And in other news... Joba Chamberlain was arrested in Lincoln, Nebraska Saturday night for speeding and dunking-driving..... err suspicion of dunking-driving.

He had an open container. I don't know how much suspicion there is left.
