It kills me how they only show the highlights for runs scored and the BEST defensive plays. I want to see the replays of the Sori HBP and they won’t show that. But should there ever be a play where a someone walks in a run, you’d better believe I’d be able to watch that to my heart’s content.

With the injury of one of the star players on a first place team with the best record in baseball, the lead story on Sportscenter tonight will be 20 minute special-interest piece on how life has changed for Joba Chamberlain since becoming a starter for the Yankees. This will be followed by the replaying of Sunday Conversations with Joba’s pet goldfish and his thoughts on his master’s move.

And then the Yankee and Red Sox highlights, of course, and one more 40 minute in-depth analysis on the Celtics-Lakers series by Stephen A. Smith.
