Sox Coverage
Sunday, October 21st, 2007OK, I know it has been a slow month in terms of TV news, so I thought I would talk a little bit about the Sox Playoff Coverage. FOX 25 has gone crazy with their coverage since they have all the games. Game 1 of the ALCS included having Mark and Maria live in right [...]
