A top idea from Wolf. Mrs. Wolf will be glad to know that he has this kind of time on his hands.

Pull this fucker will ya?

Dennis Eckersley's analysis of this game "that's baseball".

Cubs ask permission to speak to Epstein By Peter Abraham, Globe Staff Globe colleague Dan Shaughnessy has learned from a team source that the Chicago Cubs have asked the Red Sox for permission to speak with Theo Epstein regarding a position in their organization. According to Shaughnessy, there were meetings at Fenway Park this afternoon regarding the team's response to the request. Because Epstein is under contract, the Red Sox would have the right to refuse such a request. They could grant it with the condition that some sort of compensation be made in exchange for hiring Epstein. Or Epstein could decline the interest. Epstein is two months away from the ninth anniversary of his hiring as general manager of the Sox. Only seven other active general managers have been with the same team longer. He turns 38 in December and could be seeking a new challenge within baseball. Or he could be trying to leverage the interest from the Cubs into a new contract and/or more power with the Red Sox. If Epstein were to leave the Red Sox, senior vice president and assistant general manager Ben Cherington would be a logical replacement. Cherington has been with the Red Sox since 1999 and was one of the team officials who replaced Epstein during his three-month departure in 2005. Cherington was a participant in the meeting on Friday that led to Terry Francona�s departure, a sign of his stature within the organization. More to come on this in the Globe tomorrow and on Boston.com later on today. http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/extras/extra_bases/2011/10/cubs_ask_permis.html?p1=News_links

Who's doing the game with Gary?

What tripe , so typical of Heyman and his "executive types" giving him quotes ....nothing surprising about Dave Martinez being a candidate.

If the Mets/660 were to keep him employed it would be worth the investment in 3 weeks of offseason play by play boot camp with a guy like Cohen who's always on top of the unfolding action. Can you teach it? Gary's been doing TV all summer where he doesn't need to get descriptive, and he stepped into the radio booth for the ALDS and didn't miss a step. caught some of the Rangers game yesterday on the radio, Cohen was great , I really miss him doing radio.

Valverde motion is so like Benitez eh?.....and he's in the process of fucking up the game, non save situation but now it's 5-3 with two out and two on.

A great at bat by Napoli as he drives in two and the game is tied at three...a HBP with the bases loaded brought in the first un.

Tampa leading 3-0 mid 4th......TBS with the mandatory shots of Nolan Ryan every time something goes awry for Texas.

Jesus Christ, Moore looks like he just turned 15 and a rough cloth is all he needs to "Shave".

OMFG, the TBS studio crew are awful, right now they are fellating Jeter, running down all his "great" plays down the years...ugh...David Wells is terrible...."I mean, I mean , I mean"...STFU fat bastard....Eckersley?....a clown ....hey they stopped talking about Jeter.....only because they went to ad breaks.

I'm sitting on the fence with this one, at least until they are moved anyway.

Fran Healy just mentioned that Millan might be the best 2b he's ever seen........Kiner shot him down with " you never saw Roger Hornsby play, which reminds of a story........."
