    why is Boys II Men - a PHILLY group - singing God Bless America tonight?

    because they have a new CD coming out i guess is the sadly logical reason


    i guess Michael Bivins did discover them... but i'd rather him and the rest of New Edition out there instead


    when the sox lose tonight... it will be because they had Philly guys on the field! ;)

    Honestly, who is Tim McCarver blowing to keep his job?
    It pales in comparison to his commentary on the pickoff attempt: "If he had been quicker with his throw to first he would have had a better shot at getting him".

    Is this series already over? The sox are hot. However, it was smart of the Rockies to save their best pitcher for tonight. All they really need is a split. Yet, I don't see the Boston bats quieting yet. They are playing such smart ball; great decision making at the plate, especially patience. Even if they aren't getting hits, they are working the pitchers and wearing them down.

    Here's a little Schilling related note from Philly.

    The morning sports talk show is hosted by Angelo Cataldi who is from Providence but is a life long Yankee fan and hates the Sox and especially hates Schilling. Cataldi helped drive Francona out of Philly. Schilling still rips him from time to time in his blog. One of the co-hosts is Mitch "Wild Thing" Williams who also hates Schilling and said Schilling was the worst teammate he ever had.

    Well, they have this contest going with this glass company where they're going to give a new bay window to a caller who lets Mitch Willaims throw a fastball through the current window with a giant picture of Schilling's head pasted to it.

    I just thought it was funny and a reflection of how sad the sports scene is now in Philly.

    No matter what happens tonight, I've always been a big of Schilling. We have the same birthday and he was one of my favorite athletes to watch growing up.

    I know the Sox are just as guilty and maybe more so than any other team of this, but I hate when a guy stands directly over the plate and doesn't move to get a HBP.

    too bad it'll take Mitch about 6 pitches to do it ... leaving dings all over the house to be repainted.

    anyone hear Jamie Carroll's Rockies' intro tonight ...

    Todd "my goatee is better then Youklis' " Helton ...

    true story, Carroll's girlfriend is an HR manager and I interviewed with her when I first moved to SFO, he was with the Expos at the time (just before they were moving to Washington) ... when she told me who she was dating I actually knew who he was from my roto baseball geekness ... she responded, "really? you know who he is?" she wasn't all that confident in his playing ability I guess.

    why he even came up during MY interview, I'll never know.

    it's only one inning ... it's only one run ... lot of baseball left tonight.

    schill settled down nicely in inning #2.

    let's get on this kid ... (admittedly, I've seen him pitch 3 or 4 times before tonight, he's got eye popping stuff)

    Hope so. I'm olding off on buying any Jacoby stuff till next year. I have a feeling he may change his number to something lower next year.
