All I notice is that I am missing the Simpsons for baseball.Baseball is
right up there with watching golf and driving a truck in Iraq.

Hilarious! I guess I relate. Don't care much for baseball either.

I only watch with the sound off. [Can't stand Fox and the extraneous hoopla.]

How 'bout we get another commentator and run it on the SAP?

They do the same on local Dodgers broadcasts. On those, with less
sophisticated audio, you hear the pitch "whoosh" but you don't hear
the crack of the bat.

On the Fox WS broadcasts, you hear the crack, and even the sound of
the ball hitting the glove on throws to first base. I've even heard
several of the players comments. I think they have to be careful with
that, because you can read their lips saying the F word frequently
when they strike out.

I have been to Boston and I went to a sox game years ago.We all found the
food fights in the stands more entertaining than the game itself.Boston does
have some very cool historic sites like the USS Constitution,Paul Reveres
house.Its a very old city with lots of cool tourist traps.

Hey PD,

Yup, positive. You don't think so? I can understand that.

Hey MS,

They mentioned during one of the past several games that they have a mic in
the base bags...

Replayed a clip several times of a guy rounding second who seemed to miss
the bag. They picked up the audio but determined it was his foot hitting
the ground nearby.

I love baseball, but I hate FOX.

They change the audio every time there is a camera switch. Therefore,
there it always sounds like there is a delay.

Don't get me started about the graphics and sound effects. Or Tim McCarver.

Happy to report that the Big Dig is pretty much done. You can now drive
your car where they dug.

If you do make it to Boston, hit the Cape (Cod). Especially the outer
cape, beyond Hyannis. If you're adventurous drive all the way to
Provincetown, especially in the summer. Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard
are wonderful, but you'll have to take a boat (or a plane). But there's
nothing like P-town.

And yes, da Sox freekin' did it! Wish I could call my dad.

Hey David, tx so much for this, have copied it and put it in my
holiday/travel folder.

One of my major goals is to take in a Sox game at Fenway, do the Dig and
trip around the sites. I'll work on checking out the scenes as you suggest.

I just perused your website, congratulations, wow! Here's hoping things are
going well for you, yours and your business.

Your website shows last update as Oct 21, yet 'Hell Freezes Over' headline
suggests, um...you had a premonition?

If you ever get to Canada, check out my neighbourhood, Vancouver and British
Columbia. The best fish & chips in the world are nearby in Delta, BC.

To close, once in each person's lifetime they should spend a week at JLR,
and be sure to sit in a still boat in the middle of Big Johnson Lake, see
www.johnsonlakeresort.com

Wish I could call my Mom.

Naaa. It was the backpage of a New York tabloid the morning after the
Sox finally drove the stake thru the heart of the hated Yanks at Yankee
Stadium.

After the unprecedented taking 4 straight from The Evil Empire, most
Sox fans felt no way would we be stopped by some team from St. Louis.
I'll take credit for having that premonition. ;>

A weatherman did report on the local news today that the temperature in
hell is now 27 degrees F.

Yeah, that probably IS what you're hearing. When the fader gets jammed
up and the bat smacks the ball, you get a really quick mash from the
limiter. It's on purpose. Similar to compressing a snare... if you
don't bash the hit like that, it sounds too wimpy on TV. Combine that
with a swift pull back on the fader after the hit and you get some
interesting side effects (as you've astutely noticed!).

Right, but then you don't usually have the snare mic twenty feet away
surrounded by thousands of screaming fans either.
