Hey DJ! It's Octaaaaavio!


The only thing more painful than watching Octavio Dotel give up two home runs (and the lead) in the eighth inning of Friday Night's Sox game was listening to Darrin Jackson repeatedly call Octavio Octovio. Hey, DJ! It's Octavio, with an A! It's been Octavio for the past five months. It was Octavio when you interviewed him for the pre-game show at the beginning of the season, it's Octavio now, and it'll be Octavio tomorrow.

This is something even I figured out 5 months ago, and I don't have one of those fancy pronunciation charts. Color commentating seems like an easy job. At the very least, you can pronounce the dude's name right. Or should we start calling you Dorrin?
