Eck may be eccentric, but at least his vocal pitch doesn't annoy the crap out of me like some announcers. Plus he's fun to make fun of...and I mean that in a mostly good way.
Re: donut shops - People like Starbucks and Peet's around here. I don't think we're very into donuts...muffins, brownies, and cheesecakes maybe. I can't think of any donut chain that does really well overall.
I look at stats now and then but stat-geeking isn't my thing. But I also appreciate those who like to do so.
I do wish I could see a game at Fenway tho....
Lowell hasn't seemed awful to me. Not as good as last month, but not terrible. You guys have to find something to nitpick don't you?
And that pitcher is kinda goofy looking.
