[Carlos del Vaca]

Just before the game began tonight Wynonna Judd, Michael McDonald and a couple of others I don't know sang a song that was so totally treacly and sickening.  What the hell was that.  It was so bad it made Lee Greenwood seem low key by comparison.  Again, what the hell was that?

That was the sound of Fox hating baseball, which they do with great regularity.

That Scooter the Baseball thing made me want to kill puppies.

I understand they had Scooter explain what a fastball is during one of the World Series games.  Luckily I missed that one or I would have kicked in the TV.

Fox Sports needs more wooshy noises.  In fact, they should animate portions of the score bug/box/strip/thingy just to enable the insertion of more wooshy noises.

Wooshy noises make me want to watch the game harder and love all the sponsors.  Wooshy noises reaffirm my hope in the ability of mankind to overcome our problems through technology.  Wooshy noises make me feel like I'm watching the game in the future.  Wooshy noises are two pounds of awesome in a one pound sack.

We also need more cameras in more places.  Catchercam and basecam aren't enough -- we need CupCam in every shortstop's #####.  Why not revive that glowy effect they used for NHL games?  The ball can glow redder the faster it's going!  Why not record the bullpen phone to play back later?  Why not interview outfielders between pitches?

Why not, in fact, broadcast a game with five blades and a battery?

You laugh, but we are not THAT far removed from the XFL.

Yep, I'm pretty sure it was game four...something along the lines off...

(in my best possible "Gee golly fellas!" voice) A FASTBALL is thrown by a pitcher revving up and throwing the ball as haaard as he can! If he throws it fast enough, by the time the hitter swings, the ball is already by him! Zoooooooooooooooooom!

If once, just once, "Clubby the Bat" had shown up and clobbered the hell out of Scooter, you might not hear so much lamenting about how poor this year's ratings were.

Fortunately I missed Scooter explaining what a fastball was, but I heard enough.  Having the local team in the game meant the local radio team was calling the game.  We are blessed here in Houston to have one of the best in Hall of Famer Milo Hamilton.  So I turned off the sound and listened to Milo.

Now that takes talent.

I turned off the sound on the television and turned up the sound on the radio and listened to Milo Hamilton call the game rather than the dipsits on Fox.
