On the radio-only-days again today.

Following up: on the lazy play-by-play, neo-liberal macro-engineering, Power Workers Union, Ontario Provincial Government story I wrote during the Oakland road game (http://internetbaseballscorecard.blogspot.ca/2012/08/08042012-blue-jays-at-athletics-game-3_5994.html)

As per my last radio scorecard and a blogger post about inexact play by play by both human beings and widgets - today, a couple of times balls to the out field didn't get reported suficiently: once on a play by Anthony Gose 'to the gap' - but which one? :) - and one other time, both noted in the scorecard.

Enjoyed the game call.

Mike Wilner commented at one point that 58 different players have played for the Jays' so far this year - a Plague.

On further listening to the Power Workers macro-engeneering propaganda - quite certain now my take at the blog was bang on: http://baseball---blog.blogspot.ca/2012/08/scoring-baseball-via-good-old-radio.html

Only element of the story I'd take back: the title, 'neo-liberal macro...' no, it's just liberal macro-engeneering - nuclear power does that - people don't trust it. Wondering if this expansive campaign is fooling very many  in the target audience though.
