Back to Blogging Finally

After two days of not providing links, I’m back today and let’s get caught up. Thank you for your patience. Next week may be a light week for links as well, but that’s by design and that’s due to my own plans. I’ll explain that as we get closer to Thursday when I’ll be away […]

One All-Star Game Press Release and One Link

Rarely do I combine press releases and links, but I’ll do it for one time only. Jim Williams of the Washington Examiner writes about Fox Sports Joe Buck and Tim McCarver combining for their record 11th All-Star Game together. That’s a lot. And don’t forget you can vote for the All-Star Game MVP tonight. FAN […]

Fox Sports Announcing Assignments for MLB, 09/27/08

Fox has coverage of four games on Saturday. The main game will be the Cubs at Milwaukee. While NESN’s Jerry Remy will work with former Red Sox TV play-by-play man Dick Stockton on the Yankees-Red Sox, I think Mets-Marlins would have been the better choice. Red Sox are in the playoffs and unless the Tampa […]
