BoZox PagliacciFour plus hours of aural Sox from two directions for last night’s game had been great but had left Evan exhausted. Listening to Red Sox play-by-play man Joe Castiglione and color commentator Jerry Trupiano on WPRO AM simultaneously with John "Yankees win! The-eh-eh-eh-eh Yankees win!" Sterling and Charley Steiner for the Yankees on The Score FM was a nearly perfect way to follow the action and, Evan was determined that with this new approach he could continue to ignore baseball on TV until he, as a viewer, was given control of camera selection ... maybe not a choice of just any camera ... but at least the opportunity to pick and zoom from 3 or 4 including, most importantly, a wide angle to see the overall positioning of the fielders. With the numbers of channels available on cable or via satellite, how long could it be before this happened? And wasn’t something like viewer camera selection just the next logical step for the "Show" which, by the way, was even more of a "Show" now that Theo Epstein had obviously put Vince McMahon on the payroll along with Bill James? Where else were the story lines for the Sox games coming from? And didn’t Vince need something new to explore to keep him going because, as Evan had been told from a good source, the WWE, where Vince's work was completely stale, clearly isn’t doing it for him anymore?
