    Send Morgan up a creek . Then have Berman doing play-by-play and have two color guys: one Red Sox and one Yankee. Like Bill "The Spaceman" Lee and Don "Mr. Baseball" Mattingly. Watch the sparks fly .

      That might be the worst broadcast EVER. Or the funniest. Or both.

        I believe there was a football broadcast experiment that one of the networks did when they showed the entire game without commentary, like you were there. It would probably work better with baseball. Just have the computer graphics showing who was up and let you listen to the crowd noise and field stuff.

          I wouldn't mind that too much, although occasionally it's good to actually have commentary (coupled with instant replay). They did do a good job of showing the Curt Shilling was blatantly injured the other night, for instance.

          And I appreciate some decent analysis. Like I said, Leiter has been good.

          It's just that the "name" guys tend to really, really suck ass. They're trying to do the folksy thing and appeal to the average fan. Which of course pisses me off, because I'm neither folksy nor an average fan.

            I think the whole 3 men in a booth thing is a mistake. I realize you want to make it seem more 'special' and thus increase the booth as the season gets later and later, but the 2 men in the booth ALWAYS works best.

              Changing tack a bit... looks like the weather forecast for tomorrow night in Boston is bad. The game may be rained out.

              If that happens, Pedro could be brought back to pitch Game 5 (if necessary, which I think it will be) on normal rest, in Fenway Park. Pedro in Fenway is tougher than Pedro @ Yankee Stadium.

              In other news, Shilling is officially not going to start game 5 - Derek Lowe will. Mmmm, yummy.

                  Assuming you get to those games, of course... Care to make any more predictions? What is it now, Sox in 6?

                  Lowe in game 6 in Yankee Stadium? He'll get shelled (assuming there is a game 6).

                      3 wins == 4 wins in this year's ALCS. Why not just default the next game...

                            Yankees.

                            Salary cap = the reason why I watch football and why I don't watch baseball.

                              That's stupid.

                              It has nothing to do with the fact that they're entirely different sports?

                                I like knowing that one team isn't going to dominate every year.
