The circus comes to town

Sox Update: ESPN Sunday Night baseball came to town and brought the likes of Joe Morgan and Sam Ryan with them. The Sox come back (again) and beat the Dodgers.

The park was empty again. Pathetic.

Some thoughts on the ocverage:
--ESPN had a bizarre short feature in the 4th regarding Northside vs Southside that was awful. Not only was it too short to make sense, it also slighted the Sox. Great.
--No one ever says a good word about Joe Morgan. I suppose you could do better? I enjoyed most of his commentary, including a great breakdown of throw location from the shortstop to the secondbaseman during a 6-4-3 double play. It was a refreshing in-depth exanimation of the little things that make the game great.
--Morgan also discussed his famous arm twitch, noting that it was inspired by none other than Nellie Fox.
--Sam Ryan did a piece on the food at Comiskey, discussing, and touching, polish sausages and churros. You don't fool me you little naughty girl.
--The 7th inning music break was Toby Keith. Huh? Is ESPN out of their fucking minds? I thought the segment was supposed to focus on local music of the HOME team. Keith is not from the southside (unless you consider Nashville part of the region south of the Loop). And Keith was talking about his love for the Dodgers, no less. Why not Lucky Boys Confusion, Disturbed, Screaching Weasel, Billy Corgan (ok, he's a Cub fan, but I'm sure he'd at least have something interesting to say about the Northside-Southside rivalry)... Was Tommy Shaw too busy to talk on national TV? Buddy Guy? Shit, the list of great musicians from the southside is endless! The Sox get shafted. Again. Thanks ESPN, you fucking idiots! Some ass hole producer deserves to lose his fucking job over this.

One bit of mixed news: El Duque goes on the 15-day DL. McCarthy gets the call, and starts monday night at Comiskey vs the Royals.

See Chop Hoi is one guy I wouldn't mind seeing in a Sox uni. Not sure who they could trade for him, but he is just what the Sox need - a left handed hard hitting firstbaseman.
