Game One
After last night's tough Red Sox loss, all baseball fans can atleast agree on one indisputable fact: Tim McCarver should not be anyone's number one color commentator. Especially, if it's baseball. At one point last night he announced the Game Two pitching matchup as Brandon Arroyo against Pedro Martinez. Then corrected himself, saying it was Bronson Arroyo. Then corrected himself again, admitting that the two are actually teammates, and for them to pitch against each other at this point of the postseason would be highly unusual.

Tim McCarver also took ten minutes explaining to the viewing audience the highly complicated senario wherein the two playoff games tonight will be shown simultaneously on FOX and FSN. Listening to him, you would have thought he was explaining international monetary policy. Otherwise, the man spends the rest of the game explaining the obvious, and does a poor job of it. Add to that Fox Sports noisy graphics and we must all ask ourselves: how many more seasons does Fox Sports have the rights to baseball?

Anyway, the Red Sox managed to stop New York's successful string of first game losses in a playoff series by allowing New York to win.

Oedipal Pedro goes out on the mound tonight to take care of his daddy.

Red Sox Rock! Yank those Yanks!
