Hopefully the broadcast crew is Shulman, Francona and Hershiser for that game.

I thought Darvish was suppose to go on May 1st? There was a paragraph/blurb in the paper online about it. I'll have to try and find it.

Hmmmm yeah maybe not then.

I was going by Dan Shulman's tweets.

Either way, that's awesome! Especially since I don't get many chances to watch them now that I'm in the States.

Yea it was because Roy Halladay was supposed to start that game but he was injured so ESPN got Scott Richmond instead LOL.

It was supposed to be Darvish but he got moved back one start so it will be Holland instead, I doubt that's the matchup ESPN was looking for.

Eh, that's cool. I still don't understand this obsession with wanting to be on American national TV though (more so on the Raps board than here). It's not like we get to watch or anything...

I like Dan Shulamn. He used to call the games (with Buck) for CBC. I was a boy, then.

I don't know any Canadian male who doesn't hear that voice and get called back to some moment in the past--or, summer days in the past.

Well for ex-pats living in the States (like a couple regulars on this board), it's great for us.

used to listen to Shulman on the radio while i did my hmwk...man time flies. In my ears, both him, Tom cheek and Jerry Howarth are synonymous with summer.

I guess it's a good thing Yu's pushed back a day, as we won't have to watch him rape us on national TV.
