Like a bad Top 40 dj, this guy cannot abide silence. Would have been nice if he'd have allowed a little bit of quiet or crowd noise while Big Stein entered the filed — even for just a few seconds. But no; this hair-plug infested fool just had to "fill." (And Davey Johnson's old buddy, McCarver, is looking more and more like an aging Howdy Doody, isn't he?)
A few surprises, though: Who knew Ralph Kiner was still alive? I thought he died and his ashes were on a shelf at the Willet's Point branch of Ray's Pizza. And Yogi still made sense... every third or fourth sentence. Good to see Goose hasn't mellowed out at all. And how about that Papelbon?
And I don't blame Willie Mays for being pissed off. I can't stand white people either... and I'm white!
Great to have the game end at five in the morning (or whatever), too. Way to go, Fox!

I liked the moment when he criticized ARod for not coming out of the game slowly, so he could be cheered.
Francona took him out, and Joe explained how this was a great gesture on the part of Boston's manager. But the ingrate ARod merely ran to the dugout, not allowing the crowd to appreciate what a wondering thing that had just occurred.
Or the interview with Yogi, where Buck was trying desperately to get him to say a "Yogi-ism," and after they had finally primed the pump, and gotten Yogi talking freely, they practically tasered him to ditch the segment.
Remember: Fox is Fox.
Next year's broadcast team: Pete Abe and Alphonso. Pregame at 6; first pitch at 7.
