So I'm sitting here watching the Red Sox and Rangers and listening to Ken Macha do the color for the broadcast because Jerry Remy, the Sox usual color guy, is out ill. Let me just tell you, Ken Macha is one uninteresting guy. Holy mackerel. Any way, Scott Ostler of the Chronicle published a...
Crosby, Ellis, Overshadow Smith in Tense A's Win
