Today's Yankee blowout: pretty boring. One possible interesting aspect was how the creeping shadow of Fenway's upper deck changed the pitching and fielding: In the first couple of innings, Randy Johnson's pitching from sunlit mound into a batters box in the shade: tougher to hit, tougher to field.

But the contrast made for a crap TV image, and the effect was aggravated by these awful computerized ads behind the plate. The difference between A-Rod and the umpire is a dim gray next to a dim balck, but you've got this glowing yellow Prison Break ad bluescreened behind both of them. Cooh-hrap.

Bear Turd did point out that Johnny Damon looks like a member of Color Me Badd. Someone should tell the organ player and Yankee Stadium.
