Rants:
• MLB Extra Innings is horrible. I was driving all around town last night trying to find the A’s-Royals game to watch Rich Harden, the newest A’s Ace, only to find that MLB Extra Innings was not carrying the game. Buddy, how about hiring a marketing firm? I bet Angela Bower would do a great job.
• Rumor has it that Casey Fossum recorded a save last night. Does anyone need any further proof that a save is the most overrated statistic in baseball?
• Pedro Martinez doesn't talk to the media. Manny Ramirez doesn't talk to the media. The Players Association convinced the owners in the '70s, with the court-awarded cudgel of free agency, to pay players as entertainers. Question is, when will the Players Association convince the players to act like entertainers? (Dupont, Boston Globe)
Assuming ballplayers are “entertainers,” then they would only do a couple of interviews in the winter to promote the upcoming season and maybe a few during like any movie “entertainer.” Manny would hit Letterman being from Washington Heights, Leno could have Nomar and lord knows Jimmy Kimmel needs Pedro. Johnny Damon could be the first guest on Revealed with Brook Burke. Of course, all of the Sox stars would hit the Today show. Tom Warner would have to hookup his hubby, Katie Couric. And if anyone got into trouble with the law, Barbara Walters could have a special on ABC from Yawkey Way. The Boston sports media should just be thankful that they do not have to cover the Brewers. Stop the bitching.
