The Sound Of Silence

Chances are, it's been almost two days since you heard these guys.

Ain't it great?

Has Joe Buck shut up yet?

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!
