we will be too busy kicking their asses for the announcers to have time to verbally stroke the sox,
that is….of course if big John can nut up and win.
Dono Romantico - October 7, 2009
under - yes - no
although the first one is subjective, no?
howiestheman - October 7, 2009
this one the whole thing is subjectiv
…he was SCRATCHING his nose, not picking it…
Rev Halofan - October 7, 2009
Be honest...
Was it a pick or a scratch?
3rd Echelon - October 7, 2009
sorry, long day.
missed that the first time. lol
howiestheman - October 7, 2009
Soth picks at pimples on his chin and neck, never picks his nose.

LAHaloer - October 7, 2009
Over. No. Maybe, but only if they're on a cute girl.
opiejeanne - October 7, 2009
Correction: if it's on a cute girl.
opiejeanne - October 7, 2009
Are there any pictures of Torii that are not good? Because he is just about the most photogenic baseball player ever.
opiejeanne - October 7, 2009
He's the ying to John Lackey's yang
The Limey - October 7, 2009
Must be.
The first time I saw Lackey I thought he was nearly 30 and was puzzled when the announcers kept referring to him as a youngster. His voice is a surprise, too.
opiejeanne - October 7, 2009
His voice is kind of hilarious
I’d like to hear him when he gets pissed off
Slyintine - October 7, 2009
Do you suppose it gets higher when he gets mad?
If he were singing I’d say he “swallows the tone”. That’s kind of what he does when he talks.
opiejeanne - October 7, 2009
If it got any higher..
there would be broken glass nearby
hbhalofan - October 7, 2009
LOL!
opiejeanne - October 7, 2009
No, I bet he has a miraculously fine singing voice
just like Gomer Pyle!

After that statistic somebody pointed out last year where over the 3-hour broadcast they spent a total of 14-40 minutes talking about the Angels, I would say WAY over on that first one!

I just hope when they focus on Mike digging for gold, they notice Terry Francona and Peter Gammons going at it like two lovestruck teenagers in the visitors dugout!!

I think Soth will be on his best behavior and, considering this is a TBS broadcast, there will be TONS of shots of those damn Boston hats ( the only three in the stadium) OVER and OVER and OVER again.

And God help us all endure the misery that is a TBS postseason baseball broadcast. I am hoping that ESPN uses their own radio feed for the overseas broadcast. I may become downright homicidal if I have to listen to Buck Martinez for more than 15 seconds…
Big Easy Halofan - October 7, 2009
Get GameDay Audio and play it over the TV announcers!
That’s what I’m trying to do!
Clutch - October 8, 2009
The Dodgers/Cardinals broadcast was'nt bad.
The NYY/Twins broadcast was a little over the top Yankee biased.

What is the Greatest Moment in Los Angeles Sports History?
Funke5ive - October 8, 2009
Kirk Gibson?
bc56274 - October 8, 2009
Winner.
Foot note: Mickey Hatcher was Gibsons replacment in that series. He batted 368 with 5 RBI’s and 5 Runs scored.
Funke5ive - October 8, 2009
Adam Riggs' "ANGEES" jersey?
rspencer - October 8, 2009
I believe it was the '84 Olympics.
I think that Gibson came in 2nd (though the Lakers were probably in there too).

Can I start at this late date?
1) If you count the pregame and not just from first pitch to final out
2) Soth will be on his best behavior

Funny anecdote from last night: I made a big pan of homemade lasagna for dinner, and the Li’l Dude, who tends to be a picky eater like most 6-year-olds, asked me, “Does lasagna taste good?”
Thinking of the Howards’ ads, and trying to inspire him to try it, I told him “You know who likes to eat lasagna? Mike Scioscia!”
He immediately responds, deadpan, “Mike Scioscia looks like he likes to eat lasagna!”
My wife and I almost lost it.

Never seen Scioscia digging, he merely teases the lower end of the nasal septum with his thumb and index finger.

Angels win 15-3 making it all the more baffling when the announcers get their Boston love affair on full bore.
