The only team in baseball I guess.

I saw that too Ron. Frankly that's fine for the ESPN Boston micro site, but not the main page. Ever since '04, their unabashed advocacy has really tainted their brand image. I thought the local/regional pages would give lesser sportswriters an opportunity to learn the boundaries of the craft. Sadly this just another indicator at how far journalism has fallen. It used to be that journalists that leaned in a particular direction were often the hardest critics for fear of appearing as an advocate. Its the opposite now, journalism is fee for service out-sourcing propaganda.

...you're right, that's exactly what it has become...unabashed propoganda.

WTF- Did ESPN make Peter Gammon's The Executive Producer...?

That f'kn Dinosaur would say Bosox have a strong chance to win the AL Pennant, if the Sox were 29 games out of 1st place, on Sept. 1st, with 30 games to play...the HOMERS....!!!

 

[totus44]

Wicked wishful thinking.

Is that the Bosox or ZZ Top....!

Wait, Boston can't play that good with their balls, let alone an Axe...!

Beck's Bolero wrapped round their necks, and beards...! hehehe
