I usually hate it when Fox broadcasts Red Sox games. But today's broadcast is pretty good. The main reason is that those two uber-annoying buffoons, Joe Buck and Tim McCarver, aren't the hosts. It's Jerry Remy and whomever the usual play-by-play broadcaster for the Reds happens to be. It's cool. Neither are being biased in their comments, and both have clearly done their homework about each teams' strengths and weaknesses.
One funny thing about Fox's coverage is the radar gun. Either the operator has been drinking, or it's broken. Volquez's fastball was clocked at 56 MPH, even though it clearly was touching the high 80s or low 90s. Better yet, Wakefield's knuckleball was just clocked at 100 MPH.
