Due to, I assume, an overwhelming concern that Hideki Matsui will experience some sort of wardrobe malfunction, the Fox broadcast of the Red Sox games are about 5-7 seconds behind the radio feed. This means, unfortunately, that you can't mute the drivel coming out of Tim McCarvers Yankee-fellating mouth and listen to Joe and Jerry on WEEI. Here's what you missed in the bottom of the twelfth early this morning:
The text of course doesn't do it justice, but you may be able to hear Jerry's "WAY BACK! WAAAAY BACK!" in your head (I hear it in my sleep!).
And not to get ahead of ourselves here, but a win today sends the series back to New York with the same series record as last year, when, if you haven't heard, we went to extra innings in the seventh game. We have three great pitchers lined up. Believe.

When you say radio feed, I’m not sure if you mean AM radio or if you mean web feed. The web feed is usually behind due to buffering. The AM Radio on the other hand varies with how far off it is depending on satelite delay for Fox, which AM station you’re listening to, etc. I’ve caught a few games this series where the games have almost been in sync between WEEI 850 Boston and Fox. Those days are fantastic as those Fox announcers are horrendous.

Yeah, I mean radio signal, sorry. South of Providence we get WEEI on 630 WPRO. They’ve been behind all the Fox broadcasts, though they did match up when the games were on ESPN.

It’s not so much Tim McCarver, it’s Joe Buck…and now they gave him his own Budweiser ad. I’d much rather listen to the Yankees radio network on 99.7 than the Fox Commentators. Yes, they are both biased but at least the guys on the Yankees Radio Network are intelligent..and no Scooter. He’s like an annoying pop-up ad while I’m trying to watch the game.
