Joe Buck Is On My Last Nerve
Okay, I haven’t written much lately. I’ve been too busy wallowing in the pity of another post-season ended too soon, and feeling anxious about the fate of our skipper and several of our key players for next season. It’s not the best place for a Yankee fan to be.
BUT AT LEAST I’m not forced to watch a Yankees ALCS on FOX. To be forced to listen to Joe Buck might not be worth a spot in the championship, actually… now that I think about it.
Lucky Red Sox and Indians fans were subjected to this kind of intelligent and witty banter:
McCarver: When a catcher has to use his thumb to give signs, that means the pitcher has more than four pitches
Buck: Or five…more than five.
McCarver: Uh, Has more than four…
Buck: Oh yeah, you’re right.

Well New York, thank God for small favors.
I was rooting for a World Series match up with the Yanks and the Red Sox, but alas it’s not meant to be. If the Sox don’t watch out, it’ll be Colorado & Cleveland. Blech.
Did you (the above commenter) mean Yankees or Red Sox in the World Series, cause thats just an oxymoron…..I must say, I am whole heartedly rooting for the Indians, not only because of the Red sox connection, but it somehow makes the Yankee loss a little more tolerable, like we save face or something.
How can anyone not be rooting for the Rockies to win it all? I’d love to see Cleveland beat Boston, though… I agree it’d make our early exit just slightly more bearable.
