The depths of Fox suckitude know no bounds
UPDATE: See, see ya, Sabathia. 6-0 does remove some of the pain of watching these two.
Watching the Sox on Fox instead of the Bruins tonight because, well, I'm not one of those fair-weather bandwagon pink hats. For some reason, they have Sarah Silverman on and they're making her sound like the losingest loser of all losers, ever. They even bleeped her saying "Masshole." Twice. The only thing more painful than watching Sarah Silverman sitting between Buck and Ol' Man McCarver as Buck explains why she should become a Yankees fan is watching Smacky McBluelips chewing roughly 7,000 pieces of gum - and three packs of sunflower seeds - at once with his mouth open.

3-1
Not even worth extended cable.
Just not fair
Bad enough when we have to put up with joe and Tim during the playoffs. Bad enough on a Saturday afternoon. But Saturday night too? Just not fair.
The best was yet to come
No, not the endless babbling about Posada, but when the boys mourned the banning of amphetamines by MLB and how it's turned baseball into a young man's game.
Buutttt....
I can put up with McCarver (Buck is okay) but as long as Fox keeps
Morgan away and out of the booth, I can manage.

Maybe because it's so effing tired.

That's probably not why.

They even put themselves to sleep--how do announcers MISS Girardi getting tossed? Isn't it their job to stay awake? Please no more Fox, and get well soon Jerry...
Announcers aside
At least Fox doesn't consistently miss entire at-bats because they squeeze in extra commercials, sometimes twice in one break. Happens all the time on NESN these days.
In fairness, Sarah is the

Silverman . . .
. . . isn't as horrible as most of the cookie cutter comedians of today - with their canned juvenile controversies. But she's no gem either.
Ditch McCarver, now
Just because we're finally rid of the Worst Sports Commentator Ever (Joe Morgan) doesn't mean we should have to live with the also-horrific Tim McCarver. Never mind that he straps on his Yankee kneepads every day, sickeningly polishing Yankee helmets throughout the broadcast. He's just plain bad: a cliche spewer with a bad announcer's voice, and as another commenter noted, not even paying attention half the time. Just a substandard professional for a national broadcast. Maddening.
And then there's the music...
The theme music is too similar to the Christmas chestnut "Sleigh Ride": Giddyap, giddyap, giddyap let's go... Sticks in my head for days afterwards.
