First things first ... lose Borowski. Please. I am begging you. Mr. Shapiro get us a new closer.
I managed to catch a little of the Tribe game last night on both ESPN and STO. I have always like the announcers on STO so when presented with the option 10 times out of 10 I will watch the game there over ESPN. But last night during some channel surfing I noticed that game was also on ESPN and the picture was much brighter and crisper so I decided to stop on the channel and watch for awhile.
Here is the thing, if I were blind and did not know that the Red Sox were playing the Tribe I would not have even known the Indians were in the game. All the ESPN announcers would talk about was Yankees/Red Sox. Oh, I guess they occasionally mentioned who was at bat for the Tribe.
I really can't say how long this went on, maybe I tuned in for the brief part of the game where they (ESPN) were doing their nightly pimping of any Boston/New York rivalry. If the rest of the game continued like that I am not sure how any Cleveland fan could watch the game with out the TV being on mute. All I know is that it was enough to send me running back to STO to watch JoBo blow the game (needless to say ... again).

Can't say anything about STO's coverage, but ESPN had a good interview with Shapiro during the 5th inning a think. Turned the game off to watch John Adams in the mid-5th and when I came back Jobo had just fucked everything up.
ESPN did bring up a good point while openly blowing Papelbon on the air - there's a huge discrepancy between a closer that hits 96/97 on the fastball and a pitcher that hits 86/85. Especially after having the Rafael's throw prior to Jobo.
My mom could close games better than Jobo.
