Wow, I'm automatically the most qualified one commentating then.

I've lost all interest now that the potential for a JUB-JUB drop is gone.

But I'll be watching Conan tonight.

I know this is the World Series Open Thread and she was talking about the rain, but Erin Andrews said before the 3rd down play: "It's pretty hard right now."

Just got through the Jeanie, Byrnes, Karros, Kennedy schrill shouting match. When's the first pitch?

Dwight Evans vs. some dude calling himself a "defensive closer." Is that like a clean-up man for attorneys during big trials? Or is that who Kyra Sedgwick turns to when she can't get the confession?

Whoever had this "free taco for every stolen base" is a genius. They are getting a ton of publicity and may very well never have to give out a single taco...

McCarver's submersible comment indicates that he DID bring his thesaurus tonight.

Dane Cook! Off with his head!

"They think his curveball would work better here in Boston, better than in Mile High Stadium."

They don't play there anymore, Tim. It's okay, we know you're old, but you're not that old.

"We are 20 feet below sea level. So the curveball should work."

Damn, Tim, you're right on the game tonight, aren't you?

I'm not even being picky, here, but come on...

What the hell was that Barenaked Ladies reference??

Is Joe the only one who didn't know that Bare Naked Ladies is a band? Seriously.

Yeah, Joe's definitely keeping us all hip to the current pop culture.

Don't worry, they'll be on Joe's tonight show soon

Okay...um...that's a nice gesture by Clint Hurdle to write "64" at the top of the scorecard, but color me skeptical that it really did anything to help the Rockies play baseball.

"He'll get a fast ball here"...a curve was thrown.

Karma nhz, karma.

Karma nhz, karma.

Karma, schmarma. :P It's a nice story, but let me know when Rosenthal has something relevant to baseball to contribute.

how many times are they gonna say "appadaca"??

I think they just like saying "appadaca." I mean, don't you? It's a lot of fun.

Tim doing JFK in the 1st inning Taverez HBP "If you can't hit Schilling, let Schilling hit you."

Inspirational.

Running the bases is important. You can't score runs if you don't run the bases. Thanks Tim.

WOOOOHOOOOO!

Free Tacos for everyone!

WOO TACOBY SHELLSBURY!! Free tacos babay!!

From here on, I hearby give Jacoby Ellsbury the nickname of "Taco."

Jacoby "Taco" Ellsbury...YES!

Jacoby Ellsbury: Indigestion Hero!

No lettuce please...thank you.

Classic McCarver. "I think Apodaca is going out there to talk not just to Jimenez, but also Torrealba." Apodaca walks to the mound, stares directly at Jimenez the whole time, clearly talking only to him. McCarver: "I think he's talking to Jimenez and Tulowitzki, about whether to cover second base." A minute later, they get audio of the conversation, and of course it was nothing more than a pep talk to the 23-year-old pitcher. No mention of covering second base at all. And then, Ellsbury steals second, and no one covers the base. I swear, no one invents more things happening in a baseball game than Tim McCarver.

"Not too many hitters can put a good swing on a 2 strike fastball"...WTF?

Please God...let us get out of this inning with only a 1 run deficit. I'll stop looking at internet porn, I swear.

Is it me, or is Affeldt working the Justin Timberlake "D*ck in a Box" facial hair?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_in_a_Box

Looks like my days of internet porn is officially over...

When did Kirby Puckett join Boyz II Men?

Sooo, Fox can't find a good way to mic the crowd, yet can get perfect audio from the Sox bullpen?? Brilliant.

Change up? WTF?

McCarver again: "What an athletic play by Papelbon to get out of the way of that ball." Replays clearly show that Papelbon didn't move until the ball passed him. Tim "I make shit up" McCarver

Are the Rockies' home announcers doing the games from Colorado?

George Hamilton needs to tell Holliday to stick to hitting and leave the base stealing to Jacoby the Jet.

was "money maker" the word of the day for buck?

What about Joe Buck calling Boston "White Sox" at the top of the seventh when he was extolling how happy the fans in New England are with all of their local teams...???

I loved that baserunning line. Yep, once you drop the bat that's pretty much the ONLY important thing.

Did anyone hear ESPN's radio broadcast? They threw it up to Jon Miller and he started the show with "San Francisco Giants baseball is.............." followed by some awkward cover and stammering. Just horrible.

Best McCarver line of the night (in the top of the ninth):

"He can find the monster with the right stroke."

Umm did anyone hear Timmy say "He can find the monster with one good stroke"

sorry gourmet spud..u get the credit..congratulations

Will the DirecTV blimp only fly straight at sea level? Or will it be more like a knuckleball at mile-high altitudes?
