We didn't need him

David Oritz, who was basically allowed to leave the Minnesota Twins organization without anybody noticing, has become quite the clutch hitter for the Boston Red Sox. Two nights, two extra inning game winning hits to send the ALCS back to New York. Chalk Ortiz up on the loss column for Twins GM Terry Ryan. Ortiz sure would look nice in front of Justin Morneau in the Twins lineup.

Show the game already!

Fox is really making a major effort to show shots of the Boston fans in this New York/Boston ALCS. In fact I'd argue that Fox spends more time showing the crowd than they do the actual game. We all get it ok? The Boston fans are very anxious and there are many cute kids in the stands who really, really want the Red Sox to win. Just show the damn game. What I don't get is that Fox tends to show twice as many crowd shots in New York, Boston and Chicago as if these fans are more interesting to watch during the game than in other cities.
