Rick Sutcliffe's odd pop culture comparison during Game 4 of the World Series on MLB International
About the Boston Red Sox he said: "They've been on top longer than the Pirates of the Caribbean has been on top of the box office."
OK, the Pirates franchise has had some success, but where did that comment come from? Does he get a free trip to Disney World for that?
And why must we international viewers get saddled with a "special" (ie, second-rate) announcing team (Sutcliffe and Dave O'Brien)? They didn't appear to call the games any differently than they would have for a domestic broadcast.
Sorry. I'm probably just still bitter about the Yankees.
