"Knows how" to win the big game is the overused cliche I would have used.

Besides if you think you're a big-game pitcher (3.33 post-season ERA) and you do well in the post-season. Then you ARE a big-game pitcher.

I know, I just don't want an ESPN. But it does look good, so I guess I don't have to worry... for now....

There's never going to be what you're looking for. TV analysts are always going to use old cliches. And hell, what he said, IS true. Derek Lowe does excel in the clutch (because he's a good pitcher), and he CAN win a big game (because he's a good pitcher).

Yes, but obviously anyone has the potential to win a big game, but they seem to feel that only a few players can. *Sigh* But anyways, more good stuff today, some nice documentaries have been on. What I think would be really cool would be if they did a special on the Nipponese league. I am a Hanshin Tigers/ Toyo Carp fan, and it is hard to find reliable english coverage/history on the teams and players.

For those that have watched it, how is the balance on there? Is it all NY and Boston or are they mentioning other teams?

It's a lot more balanced than ESPN is

oh goody gum drops

Yea, it seems to focus on baseball more then ESPN does :). I would get so mad when they would spend 4 seconds talking about the Pirates or Padres game, and ten minutes talking about one basketball game.
