Last night, despite the lack of the New York Yankees in the ALCS, FOX Sports not only managed to mention them five times, they found an excuse to show Yankee footage during the game.
Tonite, as Tim Wakefield takes the mound, the only footage that FOX can come up with was Boone's home run to end the 2003 ALCS.
Newsflash: nobody in Red Sox Nation blames Tim Wakefield for that home run. We all blame Grady Little for not pulling Pedro when it was obvious to everyone except Little that Pedro was done for the night. Tim Wakefield drew the short straw on being the reliever when the bullpen was otherwise depleted.
Stop showing the Evil Empire. They lost. They're out. Get over it.
