Balboni in right field?  He can barely play first base?  Can you see that
guy running down fly balls in Kansas City?  I think I'd rather have Dave
Kingman there!

No I don't.  I think they gained points.  I was more interested in the ALCS
than the NLCS and Tony Kubek is one of my favorite broadcasters.  I really
dislike Vin Scully as a broadcaster.  I was happy that I could watch the ALCS
with Tony Kubek and Bob Costas.  They make a good team.  As far as being
impartial, I was rooting for the Jays, so any partial comments would not have
offended me.

Boy you're not kidding!  That place was a zoo!  It was worse than a hockey
game!

I don't think he did.  I think it skipped into his glove at the last possible
second.  It was so close a call that I would say that no matter which way the
umpire's called it, they were right.
