You know

That Lewin can’t resist it, and I wouldn’t want him to—it’s part of his charm.

Yeah,

Vegas isn’t even taking bets on a Duran Duran reference

The Reflex

and Hungry like the Wolf will both be referenced in this game. I’m not sure Lewin can find a way to sneak in a reference to Rio or A View to a KIll but I’m sure he will try.

Good to see Duran- Botts

but Halladay is nasty when he is on so I am not too excited.

Hits

We might scratch across 3 or 4 hits, maybe even an unearned run late.

so Fox knows the game starts at 6:05, right?

there’s boxing on right now on FSSW…

They had boxing on instead of “Rangers Live” as well. This reallly pisses me off, Time Warner is always doing this shit because they think nobody cares about the Rangers down here. I’m going to call them (yet again) right now.

it is bad enough that their picture always blows, no matter what sport. Then the only original programming they have is the Best Damn Sports Show, which is quite possibly the worst show on TV.

My prediction:

Vinny Beaner gets ejected in the 1st inning. Mendoza is called upon, giving the Rangers a great start that is lost only when Broussard is brought in to close the game.
