I totally agree that his commentary makes the season much more livable...especially when we're any number of games behind NYY.

Being in the Northern Virginia/Baltimore market, subscribing to Direct TV, and my friend being out of town (the one with the season package), I’m blacked out with the MLB TV thing today. So, I’m relegated with the dreaded “game cast” you suffered with on 8/10/06. While watching the 8/12/06 game pitch by raw data pitch with a comeback in the making, I can only hope that the Red Sox continue to have fun as exhibited in the win last night. Of course, the fun to be spoken of would be David “Call me the Karate Kid” Ortiz’s performance after that stand-up-spin-around double last night. With direct relevance to this blog, it should be noted that David Wells certainly knows a thing or two about having fun. The next time you talk to Bill James, can you ask him if there is more than one guy who got beaned in the head, caught a ball diving into the stands, and stole a base in the same game?
