You Say Miller, I Say Mueller

But don’t say Millar. I’ve stopped bitching about the audio quality of the WEEI broadcasts on MLB.com. I’ve just been listening and putting up with it. So tonight, when I found out the Red Sox would be on ESPN, I was excited. It was a 2 to 1 game in the 5th inning with Baltimore ahead, but the Red Sox had the basses loaded when all of a sudden the picture froze and we were back at the studio with some guy named Wingo apologizing. Damn. I ran into the computer and fired up the radio only to find out that Trot Nixon got picked off at second base to end the inning.

When they came back we were watching the NESN broadcast because ESPN couldn’t solve their problem. The audio volume was all over the place, up, down, up. Man, I could get this crap on the radio. After the next break we went back to the ESPN broadcast but both the audio and video was erratic. I gave up and came back to the computer. The Orioles scored another in the bottom of the 6th making 3 to 1. When the radio came back from the inning break, they were rolling out the tarp. It had been raining lightly, but steadily, since the first inning, so water was starting to build up. More than like the game will be called and the Orioles will be the winners.

The FRS started this 4 game series with the Orioles 4 games ahead of them in the standings, if they lose all 4 games they will be tied in the standings. The Damn Yankees are only 4-1/2 back and after the All-Star break we play 4 at Fenway against the Bronx Bombers. The AL East race is tightening up.

Both Wade Miller and Bill Mueller pronounce their last name Mil·ler (mlr).
But Kevin Millar pronounces it, Mil·lar (ml?r)
