Running 2011 Baseball Thread, Vol. I: Dedicated to spnited

Just electrify one railing per ballpark, but don't tell people which one it is.

 

Here's another look:

 

If only that was Chris Berman...

 

Didn't Gonzalez say that he was boycotting the ASG because it's in Arizona?

 

Why does FOX insist on having Joe Buck do EVERYTHING? They can't let the D'backs PA guy handle the player intros?

I'm sure that would be the highlight of the guy's career (or at least one of them, along with the 2001 World Series). But no, FOX has to bigfoot all over the broadcast just because they can.

Did they pull the same crap in Yankee Stadium a few years back? I honestly don't remember, but I suspect they didn't ...

 

This has become SOP for all the networks. Nantz did player intros for the Super Bowl when CBS had it. It's bad marketing, since 99 percent of all fans hate all national broadcasters, especially the network's lead guys.

 

Helluva catch by Bautista.

 

McCarver is really losing it.

He sounded like Dick Clark when he tried to explain that David Robertson had a charity to raise money for hurricane victims.

 

When historians look back on THE moment the ASG truly jumped the shark, they'll point to David Fucking Robertson pitching the second freaking inning! What a joke.

 

Beckett couldn't get lose/felt something.

They went with Robertson because he could get ready quickly.

 

Tornado victims. Robertson's from Tuscaloosa and played at Alabama.

 

I figure they'll get through the Phillies' starters by the sixth inning, then the AL can start hitting.
