ESPN SucksI was so psyched after last night's game. There's only so much you can grasp watching a 3x4in computer video, so I turned on ESPN right after the game. Baseball Tonight was on, and I watched update after update after update of other games. Finally, five minutes before the show ends they have the highlights. They show four of the six homeruns and cut to the boxscore. I don't care about the homeruns, after they leave the bat they all look the same. They don't even show the double play which is all I really wanted to see. Then, get this, they spent the next three minutes talking about how potent the Orioles offense is, and how they are going to give the Red Sox and Yankees a run for their money. What?!?Can we really get that little respect after a win like yesterday; that you can't even say the Pirates have been getting hot. On the Junker and Crow show this morning (highly recommended listening if you're a Pittsburgh sports fan) they nominated ESPN, their boss, as The Jagoffs of the Week. Baseball is at the point now where if they covered the teams similar to the way they cover football it would probably garner a lot more interest league wide. I don't know. One way or another, until we stopped being referred to as the "Lowly Pittsburgh Pirates", I'm going to be pissed. posted by Rory at 5:58 PM | |
