Just got a phone call this morning from my mother-in-law. She is an avid Sox fan, like myself. She says excitedly, "Did you see the game last night?" I'm thinking to myself, Sox got rained out, no way is she talking about the Celtics. . . so what game are we talking about?

"What game, mom?"

"The game last night! The Red Sox!"

"Mom, the Sox were rained out last night. NESN ran a game from last season."

Silence.

"Well, that's just great. They should've told me!"

I love my mother-in-law.

I have to admit - this has happened to me numerous times with ESPN Classic.

Usually I'll watch for a few minutes, then think "Hey! Team X is playing Z tonight - not Y!" Only at that point do I notice the logo . . .
