8:08 Gabe Gross leads off the third. Gross is one of the two players in this series that I can say that I not only met, but have actually spent time with. He and Boston catcher Kevin Cash played for the AA Tennessee Smokies in 2002, who also gave me the internship I needed to collect that Master's Degree in Sport Management that has been ever so useful to me in my career as a......professional banker.
Anywho, Gross strikes out. More intern stories later.
8:11 Beckett hits "J Bartlett." Did Aaron Sorkin name some of these players? Josiah Bartlett is standing on first base...I wonder if we'll see Sam Seaborn or Josh Lymon later?
8:12 For reasons that in no way are related to good taste or common sense, Craig Sager also has a "sideline reporting" gig for the MLB playoffs. I see he's still raiding Justin Burleson's closet. Tonight's wardrobe includes an electric blue jacket and pants combo.
8:13 Before I forget, tonight's game is being brought to you by Pringles, Blue Moon, and a pile of dirty laundry in the corner.
8:14 It dawns on me that I never blogged about my trip to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. It's cool. You should go if you ever get the chance.
8:16 Iwamura pops out. As far as I know, he didn't "poop out", as was originally typed.
8:20 Upton grounds out after fouling off approximately 37 pitches.
There is no way the commentators for this game could be as bad as Kirk Herstreit and Brett Musburger on the UT game. Those guys are morons...And on another note, bring on the intern stories!
