What the....?
Maybe someone out there knows what this means.
In tonight's Fox broadcast of game 3 Sox-Indians, Tim McCarver and Joe Buck were nattering on about Victor Martinez' likes and dislikes. Apparently, Kansas City is his favorite road town and Curb Your Enthusiasm his favorite show, said Young Joe Buck.
To which McCarver rejoins: "There are four Venezuelans on this team and his favorite show stars Larry David."
What the heck is he trying to say here?
Is it code?
Anyone?

Post-season inanities
Tony Gwynn tonight commented on an onfield meeting of Yankee and Indians managers with the umpires: The Yankees were claiming catcher's interference in a Hideki Matsui at bat.
Gywnn brightly suggested that "One of those guys [the managers] is going to end up upset."
No kidding.
Someone should tell these on-air guys that they don't have to fill every silence. In fact, on-air silence (plus the roar of the crowd, etc.) can make the best broadcast.
Ditto for moronic on-field interviews: Example: The resident NESN twit to Manny Ramirez/David Ortiz/Jason Varitek et al. after some on-the-field heroics: "How great did hitting that walk-off-home-run feel?"
Or, the classic: "How much do you love these fans?"
Come on people. Just because you can say it, doesn't mean you should say it.
On the plus side, TBS' coverage has been mercifully free of the hideous, epilepsy-inducing graphics that make Fox telecasts unwatchable. The graphics and that orange-headed, pun-spouting freak Tim McCarver.
