We're Stuck with Joe Buck...but Bill Simmons Can Help

"Hello, everyone, I'm Joe Buck. You won't be able to get away from me this month on Fox. It's not possible. Trust me, we've made all the necessary precautions. I'm going to be in your life for the next four weeks, day in and day out, like it or not." (Bill Simmons)

I had to do it eventually -- this is the latest article from ESPN's Bill Simmons, who, despite his propensity for watching too much Real World and for rooting way too hard for the Celtics and Sox, is by far my favorite sportswriter. The topic? A running diary of Game 1, Yanks-Tigers, ALDS. At least he provides a brief respite from Joe Buck.
