The commentary is awful.
It's the Red Sox NESN (New England Sports Network), with a bunch of ex-Sox players doing the commentary. And they are truly awful.
For instance, they've just been discussing Carl Crawford - the man's in his first season with the Red Sox, coming from Tampa Bay on a $140M contract. They've said he's a formidable athlete and he's having a low season (he's down around .254). So the commentators tell us that having your routine disturbed could be an explanation.
WTF?!?
The man is good enough to get a huge contract. He's having a bad season. It happens.
They also commented that a ball the Red Sox fans let go would have been scooped up if it had been a Yankees hit, guffaw, guffaw, guffaw.
Good grief. Talk about banal commentary. If there wasn't that ridiculous 5 second video delay, I'd turn to John Stirling and Suzyn Waldman on CBS/NY. (It's one of the two New York City news stations; it's on 880AM. We just about get it down here.) If we were in NY, we could watch the game on YES (the Yankees TV channel) and have Michael Kay and Paul O'Neill provide intelligent commentary.
The game is all over the place; at least the players (and Joe Girardi (!)) are being adults - last night they were doing their best to prove that they weren't.
