What's not to love about this pitching staff?

Dear NESN,
When the Red Sox are losing 13-6, don't you think you could find another house ad to run besides the one with that grinning woman asking "What's not to love about this pitching staff?"
Because right about now, there are a couple of things we could mention.

It's better than that stupid...
KARATE!!! ad.
I hate it so much I love it
The Karate ad, that is. I told my son if I had five kids I'd be damned if they'd all be going to different stuff, so I said I'd make everyone take oboe lessons. So we sing "Oboe, Oboe, Oboe, Oboe and last but not least, OBOOOOOOOOOEH!"
I detest that fakey fakey Red Sox Nation ad you're discussing. You know those people don't know a thing about baseball. "He's so intense!" Shoot me, shoot me now.

HEEEYAH!
Oboe, Oboe, Oboe, Oboe and last but not least, OBOOOOOOOOOEH! HEEYAH!
Gotta have the "HEEYAH!" or it just doesn't work.
That was the "EH" part
They kind of make karateeeeya one word, so that was the end of our Obooooooooooooeh. But you're right. It's Oboooooooooeyah!
I also threatened to put all children (real + 4 imaginary) in ballet because it rhymes better with karate. ballet ballet ballet ballet and last but not least, balleeeeeeyah!
(My husband's major beef with the commercial is that they didn't do enough takes to get the mother's mouth to synch up with the audio. I mean, c'mon, how hard would it be?)

and how about those in-park announcements?
Unfortunately, I was at this game. Loved the "thank you for your patience" announcements that started around the second inning, when we we already down 0-6.
(Yes, I know they were really talking about the rescheduling, but still ...)
