Why are Sox fans acting like their the first ones to ever wake up at an insane hour to watch games in Japan?

Are the Red Sox going to get their own section on the Bottom Line just like the Patriots did? I hope they're filming the 3rd base coach signs...

@drewmit: Sorta the same here. I woke up really early since the game started at 4:00 am here, and DirecTV couldn't get espn2 figured out. Eventually, the screen just said "yes, we know this channel isn't working. Don't call. Shut the fuck up and go back to bed." Or something like that.

@Len Bias Cocaine Surplus: Wow... would have loved to seen it, but C!@#%!#$%!$#% Comacast was out in my neighborhood for the game. I live 1/4 of a mile from Fenway, it's not like anyone where I would live would want to watch.

And when I called them to complain that the only reason I subscribe to those asshats is to watch NESN, they said they couldn't give me any kind of refund because it was a problem on their end that affected most of their customer (!?!?!) Comcastic, indeed

So I only had the gameday feed at work this morning... can someone explain the Brown out in the 10th any better than Gameday did? They said this :
RF Moss to 2B Pedroia to 1B Youk to 3B Lowell to Short Cora to 1B Youk.

That doesn't make sense to me since the out was at 3B. Did Youk run across the diamond to make the play? Or does Gameday now count the throw around the diamond after the out as part of the play?

And now, in their honor, ESPN will spend the next 9 hours talking about the Red Sox and how this win affects their rivalry with the Yankees, ending on how the Yankees must make a trade or fire Girardi because they're 1/2 game out of first.
