   I found this pretty good -- one of the top two sketches of the week, along   
   with Friday's "Farewell to Max" -- but not quite as well done as the   
   rain-delay sketch. I might be biased, though, because I'm more of a   
   baseball fan. And the lack of Costas didn't help. Oddly, Costas was on the   
   show the previous night -- I wonder why they didn't get him to do this sketch.

   I have trouble believing they planned all that beforehand. Probably those   
   were last-minute additions to the script.
