Don’t judge until you see how they screw up the draft pick.

Seriously, half these people are on their damn cell phones. This hasn’t been an actual story from the start.

The cameraman who took this was not standing at attention, either.

Sending my thoughts and prayers to both these men.

Not actually being in the vicinity of Cleveland has to be a contributing factor to this success.

“Tell you what, we’ll bring the Raiders logo, and the offense and special teams players, but the public funding has to pay to sign all the defense. Deal?”

I’m sure they monetize the Yankee Stadium (TM) name for more profit than the Sox got for selling out. Hell, I wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve got a trademark on Monument Park.

Average cost of naming rights is just under $3M (thanks, google).

Serious question: What did they charge for parking at the stadium?

I love the first photo.

They’ll get Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law to each play Al Michaels in order to finish the season.

They should just take one Sunday game and not air it until Thursday. I mean if they can tape delay the Olympics, this would work, right?

It’s insane to think he’s that far out in the lead, yet that distance is only a third of a second.

That’s a zero?

Can’t they replace the greenscreen with a pool?

You can’t celebrate his 3,000 hit while simultaneously putting him at a higher total to be the king.

I know. It’d be terrible to think of the Sox wasting millions of dollars on an overrated third baseman who’s not able to play for them this season!

Not likely. Today is vs Cleveland, and no way Francona wants someone to groove him a pitch or two for old time’s sake. Then 3 in Fenway, not getting served up batting practiced soft toss there (but, please, insert snark about our unpredictable starters). So he’d need a 4 homer game on Friday. Not impossible, but not…

so his retirement tour is only out to Fenway and back.
