I got a 6:30 meeting today, right at the end of the Red Sox game. Planning to walk around with a sign saying "I'M TAPING THE SOX GAME DON'T TELL ME THE SCORE".

So they'll just shake their heads, sigh heavily, and say, "sorry, man," as they walk by you with their radio earpieces. That'll drive you crazy.

Besides 95% of these people won't even know or care there's a game going on, much less follow the game in a political meeting.

Final roster spot goes to Jeremi Gonzalez, you know, in case we get blown out and need someone to eat innings, in which case it doesn't matter if they're any good. Francona decided if Ozzie was going to leave Brandon McCarthy off the roster the least he could do was make things even.

In other news, Joe Torre aims to pitch gimpy Mike Mussina twice in his series (in necessary)? instead of Chacon.

Apparently Ozzie thought that it didn't make sense to have McCarthy on the roster because he wouldn't be available out of the BP for Game 1 or Game 2. Ozzie, (a.) there could be 5 games in the series, and (b.) whose fault is it that McCarthy is unavailable, for pitching so much on Sunday?

I would be screaming on Chicago sports talk radio over this if I were a ChiSox fan. Totally stupid.

we could have used the extra lefty out of the pen. Right now it goes 5-1 R vs. L.

Sound mighty sure of yourself.
