Sweep: White Sox 5, Red Sox 3

So many highlights in this game: Manny and Big Papi's back-to-back homers in the fourth; the tense sixth inning in which the Red Sox couldn't break through; and El Duque's phenominal job of pitching in relief down the stretch, Bobby Jenks sealing the deal. A real nail biter if you were a partisan of either team, and what an exciting game. The White Sox can rest their starters waiting to face whoever wins in the Angels and Yankees series.

was listening to it here at work, on game day audio, it was great.

the tension always seems to be intensified when listening to games on the radio. i love it.
 
the only ones in boston that died happy are those that died in the last year. the despair is renewed... lol
 
Now if someone would just knock off the Yankees the circle of happy thoughts will be complete.

Baseball was meant to be listened to.
 
Paradox with baseball is that radio better represents the "reality" or "flow" of a baseball game better than TV ever can.

Television fundamentally presents baseball wrong, because television is a medium of time. Unlike football or basketball, whose tangibles converge on a clock, baseball exists outside of time. Its entire reality is made of chance; life and death pivot between anticipation and dread. What creates more anticipation and dread than a long silence, then a howl, finally the brain realizing what the ears already "see"? Only baseball provides this release, but it's been diminished with SportsCenter TV.

If you don't listen to baseball games or visit the stadium often, you may not realize baseball could be the most musical team sport of all.

Actually, that makes venues like Yankees Stadium so intimidating for visitors. Forget the history; it often sounds like a riot's going on.
