Serioulsy, could there be a worse network covering baseball?

I'd type out why they suck, but this already sums it up:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_League_Baseball_on_FOX#Criticism

I hope Tim McCarver gets caught calling Albert Pujols "sambo" or something and gets fired.

Quote :
"Buck received further ires from viewers towards the end of the All-Star Game telecast, when while announcing the Fox Broadcasting Company's contract extension with Major League Baseball, sarcastically rubbed it in to his and Tim McCarver's (and to an extent, the MLB on FOX program itself) critics[42][43][44] by proudly proclaiming "You're stuck with us!!!""

Quote :
"Following the Boston Red Sox's World Series clinching game over the St. Louis Cardinals in 2004, Fox cameras caught actor Jimmy Fallon run onto the field at Busch Stadium with actress Drew Barrymore to film a scene for their movie Fever Pitch (incidentally, a 20th Century Fox produced movie). The move angered numerous Red Sox fans, who felt their 86-year moment-in-waiting had been cheapened by Fallon and Barrymore, perceived by many as mercenary interlopers."


What is worse: the Red Sox bandwagon explosion following this game, or the fact that Jimmy Fallon was involved in it?

Super. We get a senile Summeral and some douche I've never seen before.

I can't wait to see who commentates the Fiesta Bowl. Probably John Salley and Tom Arnold with a guest appearance from Tim McCarver.

oh my fucking God. What a disaster already. They can't get the microphones to switch...

FOX's coverage of ANY sport is fucking terrible. The terrible commentators, the shitty cameras, the fucked up microphones, the robots and other graphics, all things that make FOX suck.

you turn it over to ESPN and it just seems classier and better put together

i do kinda like fox's scorebug though.

the robot is stupid though, but you can tell its only nfl people doing it, they can't even keep up with the pace of the game, with replay's and stats and stuff
