Toronto Blue Jays at Boston Red Sox, Sep 13, 2008 7:05 PM EDT
Hope everyone is having a great Saturday. Rancid rings in tonight's game, and it's apropos given that there is no sanctuary for our azure corvidae heroes - a big win this afternoon, but that just makes tonight's game all the more important.
Not sure how much of the game I'll be around for tonight - meeting up with my cousin in Brooklyn a little bit later. Let's go Jays!

my apologies

They have home and road feeds now
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
by Torgen on Sep 13, 2008 8:07 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
so they broadcast both feeds for all games and you can choose?
that’s pretty sweet. Despite their obvious Soxian homer-ness, I imagine the Red Sox guys are better than the CBC crew. Though I’m a big fan of Jim Hughson.

As of a couple days ago, yes

when watching ono MLB.tv
do you get the local commercials, too, or do they pipe in their own?
by SuckaMD on Sep 13, 2008 8:23 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
You usually get a 'commercial in progress' screen
On weekdays they pipe in their own, but they’re on a small rotation.

1-2-3 inning for Litsch with the K on Yook
but 61 pitches through 3. Doesn’t look like he’s going too deep, especially on short rest
by SuckaMD on Sep 13, 2008 8:07 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Considering he used 30 to get through 1
he could get a few outs in the 6th, which would be great. Bullpen in pretty good shape, assuming you don’t mind Downs and Ryan pitching.

He was pretty good at one point.

Hey Torgen, I see you are one of two people on now.
Y’all are still allowed to actively root for the Jays on OTM, if you weren’t too scared by it earlier.
Remember when we were kids and we mixed sodas together and called them "suicides"? It was OK though, because Dr. Pepper was always there.

Inglett and I guess Carlson for JotD
Downs gets the Batista, and Cito deserves more blame for Litsch’s low score than Litsch, who pitched well until he ran out of gas, and then got left out to dry.
