Dan is the news reporting guy today. In the game story, Dan switches from 'Schilling is fat' to 'Schilling was fat and is upset the Red Sox did not extend his contract.' A seamless transition of storylines by Dan.
In the Notes, Dan has the rest of the game story. In what I hope is not a sign of things to come, Dan brings up Alex Gonzalez's name after Julio Lugo commits an error. It will be much easier to note Lugo's errors than the times he got on base when Gonzalez would have hit a weak grounder to the left side of the infield, thus distorting any simple Lugo-Gonzalez observations.
Dan refuses to let go of the Manny Car Show talk as Dan dedicates the second 'note' to the topic. It's over, Dan. It wasn't much of a story to begin with, and it is no longer a story after Manny reported. Move on.
As an aside, has anyone noticed how much more visible the Globe sports fossils are on TV these days? Recall when these guys would, in a sniff and a huff, refuse to come on the radio and TV. Beneath them, they said. "They need us more than we need them,' the elite Ryan & Shaughnessy huffed.
ReplyDeleteWell, now that the Globe is going the way of the Edsel and the Tyrannosaurus Rex, here they are...feathers all primped & preened...going wherever they can weasel an invite. Obvious, and funny.
chris,
ReplyDeleteI am going to try to incorporate some of Dan's media appearances into the blog.
