Wow this sucks

Nobody cares about the Yankees vs. Red Sox except New York and Boston, despite what the sports media thinks.

Did McCarver really just try to say getting thrown out at second was a good baserunning play? I'd rewind to double check, but my ears are bleeding.

Yeah...that is what he said. Great baserunning was the words he said. I just put on my I hate Tim McCarver shirt!!!

A trick question for the trivia question?? As JG Wentworth would say, "It's my trivia question and I need it NOW!"

Jeanie says if this wasn't the Red Sox and the Yankees I wouldn't still be watching. On the contrary, I'd probably care a whole hell of a lot more if it was some other teams.

Wow, this may have been the most excruciating hour of television ever. I've never seen a more boring group of studio 'analysts', and Jeanie's just stupid. Jubba????? Are you kidding me !?!?

I'm with you. I finally had to turn it off because their "discussion" is abysmal and I sure don't need any NASCAR. Yuck.

Joe Buck is so upset with having to sit through this rain delay that he's taking the next 6 weeks off.

It's a good time to acknowledge the Pepsi clutch performer of the game - Manny Ramirez ... this was enthusiastically announced by McCarver and Buck approximately two hours ago in the top of the seventh inning. Don't most clutch plays happen in the final three innings?

True shaddick. Like March madness when they announce the Chevy POTG right before crunchtime. I'm betting the announcers get to choose and they want to get it out of the way early so they can call the endgame.

I can only imagine every redneck in America is getting impatient waiting for this at bat by Cano to end...

Morons put on NASCAR with a 3-2 count, 2 outs, top 9th

Oh .... don't worry ... as FOX cuts away with a full count in the 9th with 2 out. Unbelievable - sticking a big middle finger up to those of us who were patient enough to tune in for the end. Wow ... that first lap was riveting.

Fox had to show the start of the Five Dollar Footlong 500. To be fair, before the inning started, they said they would switch the rest of the game to FX. It just looks bad.

It looks really bad for those of us who don't get FX. I guess I should look at the bright side ... I didn't have to hear McCarver speak another word.

If I can elaborate on something phil said earlier...McCarver said that more bad baserunning plays are made when the runner does not try to take an extra base, than when he does.

That's right, more bad plays are made when a play isn't made than when one is made.

Something tells me Timmy took a few too many foul tips off the face mask in his day...

**** Boston

DOUBLE WHAMMY FOX!!! Miss the final out AND the green flag...total FUCK UP, and over at Daly Planet he's hearing that Fox HQ is getting hammered by BOTH MLB and NASCAR for screwing up so badly.

Funny thing is the baseball game was on both Fox & FX after 8:30, but they tried to show both in their entireties on Fox and wound up pissing off everyone.

Reruns of Cops > NASCAR

Only because there's a better chance of seeing someone getting Tasered on Cops.

They're worried about their NASCAR contingent? Good lord.

And Sox/yanks, already? And it's the sunday night baseball game tomorrow on ESPN? Christ.

Anyone who dismisses the notion of an east coast bias in sports coverage need look no further than the ridiculous attention these 2 media whores of teams take up for proof.

Re: Brian. Same thing can be said during college b-ball season (which of course just wrapped up) when Duke and North Carolina get together.

Understand why Fox moved their baseball coverage up from the middle of May to the beginning of the season: because ESPN, YES & NESN were getting an unopposed number of Sox/Yanks matchups. Fox tried to hold as many eyeballs with their balancing act of NASCAR & Boston/NY for as long as they could. And for those keeping track: Red Sox/Yankees will have had three national (or near national) broadcasts in the next 5 days.

>Anyone who dismisses the notion of an east coast bias in sports coverage need look no further than the ridiculous attention these 2 media whores of teams take up for proof<

Word. Showing Florida's spring practice yesterday was ludicrous.

Plus, it looked like Erin Andrews was wearing some sort of prom dress. What's up with that?

Also, it was ESPN, not FOX.

2 straight sox posts? come on quail

Fox also aired Rockies-D'Backs ... only in Colorado and Arizona. That game should have been a national telecast (Chase Field has a roof) and it would have been over in time for NASCAR.

For Fox and ESPN the New York/Chicago/Los Angeles bias trumps the NLCS rematch.
