Squawker Jon and I were meeting up in Battery Park City to see the premiere of Knuckleball! last night, so we missed seeing the Yankees-Red Sox game. To be blunt, when I saw that Freddy Garcia was pitching for the Yanks, I didn’t expect much, especially given that it was a FOX broadcast, which the Yanks have a bad record on. Nor did the Yanks get much — Garcia didn’t make it out of the second inning.
Anyhow, when I saw that the score was 9-0 Red Sox, I figured that the game was over. Then the Yanks kept on coming back. We ran into the Mighty Quinn Media Machine in the VIP section of the movie showing while waiting for the movie to start (more on the flick in a separate post!) and every time one of us took a look at the score, it seemed like the Yanks were threatening. Then somehow, they ended up putting on 15 runs on the boards, without Boston scoring another run in the game! Unbelievable!
Needless to say, I was pleased as punch at the results, while my Red Sox fan and Met fan cohorts were not exactly thrilled by the turn of events. Heh!
I am watching the replay of MLB TV via Roku right now. I just bought a subscription to MLB TV, and this is the first time I’ve watched a game on it. I immediately skipped to the top of the inning, and was thrilled to hear no broadcasters. No McCarver, no Buck. It was aweseome! Then they started yakking again — the reason some of the broadcast replay did not have them is because apparently the FOX broadcast had cut to Philip Humber’s perfect game, so people watching live missed seeing Nick Swisher’s grand slam live! If I had been one of them, I would have been ticked off. (By the way, how about it — yet another former Met pitches a perfect game!)
