I'm no expert on colors, but Chuck looks greyish-tan to me.

Richly deserved! I was working some summer league and didn't hear about it until the 8th inning. Got to hear the end, thanks to XM!!

Sox won tonight, with Papelbon pitching a perfect 9th. Yanks are up on Arizona, but it's still early.

That satellite delay is rough. "Early" is the bottom of the 7th.

btw, I have XM in my new car. Pretty nice.

Any country music fans on here? If so, I apologize in advance if I offend any of you.

I'm watching the Cubs/Mariners game, and Kelly Pickler was the guest singer of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame". She sounded great, but I noticed a hesitation in the middle of the song. After the song, she was interviewed by the television crew the next half inning, and she admitted almost singing, "Buy me some peanuts and Apple Jacks...". She asked if Apple Jacks were the cereal, and the announcers chuckled and said yes, and they don't sell many Apple Jacks at the park.

A few moments later, you see her looking through some binoculars and saying something like, "This is just so awesome!", so the announcer asks if she's looking at the bleachers. She says no, and asks, "That's the outfield, right?" I think she then says something about having seen an infield before, because she's been to a race. My eyes glazed over at that point.

She's got a great voice, and she's easy on the eyes, but she sure knows how to perpetuate those blonde and southern stereotypes.

"The best play belonged to shortstop Neifi Perez in the eighth. After Bill Hall walked for the third time, Gabe Gross hit a hard grounder up the middle. Perez skidded to his left to glove it, but the force of the ball knocked him over.
Perez managed to flip the ball to second baseman Placido Polanco, who completed the inning-ending double play. Verlander pumped his fist near the mound and was one of the first to congratulate Perez in the dugout." - USAToday.com

He's still got it going after nine.

I wonder how long he can keep it going...
