Around SBN: Missouri Survives Scare, Louisville And Marquette Roll

I know Boswell is a baseball guy, but this is ridiculous.

Iceplex: Opening night up in Boston. Think Theo can pull a consistent season out of his ... hat.

Tom Boswell: The regular season as been a dud. I think the post-season will be excellent. These are really entertaining teams with lots of glamor. Of course, part of the reason is that this has not been a good year for parity. A lot of rich teams have come through the draw.

You can get me to watch the Yanks, Dodgers, Red Sox, Phils, Angels or Cards any day. I'd put their chances of reaching the Series in that order __and any of them could do it. Hope the Tigers hang on for detroit and Illich's sake. The Rox have wonderful fundamentals and strong arms. But they had their WS, didn't they?

But to answer your question, Boston has recently gotten excited at the way their pitching has gotten back to health and Ortiz (supposedly done and dsicredited) is one of the top A.L. HR hitters in the second half. They're baaaack.

one can only assume the mention of Theo confused Mr. Boswell. He had THIS Theo come to mind

Someone needs to put down the crackpipe.

I’ve seen Boswell chats betore where one of his responses got posted to the wrong question (blamed the software — maybe I buy that; it is the Post, after all).. He’s caught it then. I have no idea how he could have screwed that up so badly and not caught it.

Wow! Didn’t know the Sox were opening up the AL playoffs in Fenway tonight. This gives me something to watch on TV since I can’t watch the Caps.

That is just absolutely astounding

to be fair, i wouldn’t call it idiocy, but more proof that the longest tenured writers at the Post have other sports much higher in their mind’s awareness than hockey

It must be due to the poor economy.

Um, don’t you mean their “opener”, not “home opener”?

Un...

…believeable.

I think Boswell is hanging out too much with Korny and Wilbon…

Let's go Caps!

What did he think “Opening Night” meant? The Red Sox aren’t going to make the playoffs (Texas looks like the Wild Card team).

by red army line on Oct 1, 2009 1:57 PM EDT reply actions  

Whoops. I’ve been really out of it. Sox are in. But playoffs aren’t for some more time, right?

by red army line on Oct 1, 2009 2:12 PM EDT up reply actions  

baseball season ends Sunday. Playoffs start Tuesday or Wednesday, I believe.

it was…..strange. And yet 5 minutes later, he’s busting out with how he can’t wait to watch Knuble loosen some teeth in the crease.

by RedBirdie on Oct 1, 2009 1:58 PM EDT reply actions  

What a bad order of likeliness to reach the world series as well. I mean, the Cards are 5-2 against the Dodgers, and nearly unstoppable since acquiring Matt Holliday. He’s clearly not a baseball guy either.

I'm so sick and tired of the refs explaining the calls like this is the NFL.
