Three down. . .

Sox move on to the ALCS. (Jeter just threw away his throw to first. Oops) Schill was terrific, Papi and Manny go back-to-back, and the Sox put up a 7-spot in the eighth; but to be fair, the Angels were playing with less than their full team. Now the Sox wait until Friday night.

Eight to go.

Jeter's errant throw (although not ruled an error) leads to an early run for the Tribe. I'm not gloating; just happy.

Although I'm not happy that King George has basically fired Torre. Even if the Yankees come back and win this series, how eager will Torre be to come back next season after Steinbrenner's ultimatum?

Ok, I'm almost as tired of "Frank TV" commercials as I am of "This is Ouuuuuuuurrrrrrrrr Country", but that joke was kind of funny. John Madden asks why did the chicken cross the road? And the answer is, to get Brett Favre's autograph.

"Frank TV"?? I don't have cable so I haven't been watching the games. The ads I enjoyed in the past, but I haven't seen lately are the ones where that quarterback acts like a fan "Can I have your autograph on this loaf of bread? My brother loves you!" "D-Caf!! D-Caf!!" Are they running those?

I don't dare commit myself as to which Manning it is. Just not that detail oriented.

It's Peyton.

And, even as a Pats fan, I agree that they're fantastic commercials.

Back in the late 1950s (yeah - I know most of you weren't born yet, in fact for some of you, your parents weren't even born yet), I got two home run balls in the same game at Comiskey Park. One was hit by Minnie Minoso and I think the other was hit by Larry Doby. I didn't "catch" either of them, but chased them down by being faster than a bunch of other kids.

Obviously, I wish I still had them (and obviously, I wish I was still that fast).
