Millar Rally Cry

I grew pretty tired of Kevin Millar when he was here, but he was always a good Red Sock, and he loved the team and the town. Sure, he's a little sad, a little Al Bundy-ish (Polk High football rules!), dying to come back to Boston and relive his glory days, but did anyone else get pumped up last night when Fox played this promo before the game?




"Come on, Red Sox fans, don't give up now. You gonna jump off the Tobin Bridge? You're only down 3-1. We were down 0-3 and down in Game 4 in the ninth inning, when I had to draw a walk, they pulled my fat butt in there, put Dave Roberts in to steal, and then BOOM we're the World Series champions. So get out there, support your Sox. You got Papi, you got Manny, you got Big Beckett, you got Schilling hanging his bloody sock. You never know what's going to happen right now, but go out there and support them, and it's time to cowboy up!"

Sure, Fox may be a little biased, pulling for the Red Sox for market and broadcasting considerations, but shouldn't they have to cater to us after repeatedly subjecting us to Tim McCarver ripping Manny?

haha love it. Yea, I assumed last night (until towards the end of the game) that the Indians had bought Fox! The umps and annoucers were horrible.

McCarver makes my blood boil! His constant diarrhea mouth can really ruin a game. Price and I have come pretty close to muting the TV and listening to WEEI's broadcast. But what we really need are DON and JERRY :)
