So far so good. Interesting how tito said there isn't a better team mate than V Martinez. Sounds like Tito may have fought hard to keep Victor. -

He's probably sick of Buck mentioning the Red Sox every five seconds. -

Funny and I agree. He does not seem to like when tito uses the player's nickname. -

I think he's doing a great job as a color analyst though, could be he takes a year off and works in broadcasting? -

Franconas doing fine, especially for his first time out. Buck not so much. can't believe he asked Francona if we're ever going to know what happened or are you going to stick with you agreed to part ways. How professional Joe. wasn't the time or the place.
Franconas response was he thinks thats the best way to go about it. -

He is supposed to be a fan of any player that he had such as Victor Martinez. Why would he act any differently? I tend to watch the game and concentrate on the game action instead of wasting my effort critiqueing every announcer. Just sit back and enjoy the game. Life is too short to have so many other distractions. -

Never mind critiquing them, I usually turn down the volume. My point was that Tito has a special respect for martinez and beltrade, that he posssibly did not have for some this year. This is francona, so excuse me if my blogging about him annoys you. -

Disappointed in Buck. Playing journalist, trying to get Tito to say something controversial. It's ridiculous, Buck has turned into a loser. -

He has been pretty bad for years. Time for him to be replaced. -

I would expect that the national audience want them to discuss the game and not the Red Sox. The game is about what is happening on the field there and not about the fact that Beltre and Martinez used to be Red sox players.

Post season fans usually are interested in anything pertaining to baseball. I have always enjoyed listening to coaches and players who have moved up top. -

I mean are you honestly foolish enough to think that the question was not a preaaranged set-up to get the issue out of the way? Had he not asked it, someone somewhere would be saying they didn't ask the biggest question to the main participant in the biggest (so far) off season story. It is not like these guys do not prepare ahead of time for the game and story lines. -

To your color analyst DURING THE GAME? Not the time or place, especially when you know Tito is probably not at a balance point with it just yet. It hasn't been long enough, and therein lies the trouble. Buck is trying to take advantage of that to create spectacle--like a journalist, not an in game broadcaster! -

Yeah, but there is a better NON "blood in the water" way to do it than Buck did. Show some respect, don't bait the guy. Tito saw right through it, which is why he answered the way he did. And the crack about having a beer later (to tell the REAL reason) proves that Tito has not moved on yet--which is what Buck was hoping to capitalize on. Tisk tisk! -

Exactly Exam, it was an attempt to strike while the iron was still hot, hoped to take advantage of it and rub salt in the open wound. Tacky -

Orsillo texting Tito with advice during the game? So THAT explains some of his in game decisions this year. LOL -

Ridiculous to be interrogating Tito when he is there to be a commentator for the game. It does seem like he was trying to get him to say something controversial. Pretty classless. -

Zac why do you type your posts in double space with no caps, no punctuation and short haiku-like lines? Using a phone? Poetry? Secret NYY code? What? Sometimes it's hard to even tell what the heck you are saying. You posted one the other night that I never did figure out. -

Look at trouble-making Zac. After multiple bannings, his original screenname has been reinstated. Apparently, it doesn't matter how many Sox fans -- or players -- he's abused here. Yup, the Yankee fans are the underdogs here just as I thought.
Edit: So funny. I waited to see if you were going to post anywhere else on the board. Nope. You just came here and responded to my post. Something tells me you just wanted me to see your reinstated screenname. Total arrogance. I hope your friends, who I'm sure helped you with that since I don't believe you did it yourself, see that as well. We both know how much joy you get out of harrassing Sox fans on their own site while gloating about your own team, and now you can gloat about your screenname being put back to square one. That's pretty much what you're doing here. Just like when your Yankee fan pals posted your profile on a Yankee site with all your nominations you had in the past on it, and laughed about it.
Again, joke's still on RSN, right? -

LOL. Amen. It's always been my opinion that it makes it easier to create aliases if you don't speak like a normal person under your original screenname. -

I think Tito sounds like a natural.
He seems relaxed, informative and doing a fine job.
Maybe he's found a new career?
