I hate sunday night baseball


I love baseball. I am a huge Braves fan so what could be better than watching The Braves play the Cubs on Sunday night? how about watching it without so called commentators Morgan and Miller! ESPN really knows how to ruin a good thing. Admittedly I turned the game on late so I have only seen 2 innings thus far but these announcers have me on the verge of turning the game off! So far they spent a full half inning discussing how Matt Diaz mis pronounces his name. correct me if I am wrong, but if it is his name can he really mispronounce it? Then they spend another half inning discussing that the cubs have gotten the short end of the stick b having Lily Ejected for arguing the warning both benches received for him hitting Renteria. Again I believe that arguing warnings is a sure fire way to get ejected and Lilly should know that, there is nothing unfair about it. then they procede to discuss Andruw Jones and his career as a homerun hitter, Joe Morgan Mentions Druw hitting two homers in a World Series Game in ’96 against the “New York Mets” Miller was kind enough to correct him that it was the Yankees not the Mets. Morgan laughed it off and said “That’s right the Mets haven’t made it there yet. “ What an idiot! 2000 Subway series ring a bell for anyone out there? besides that for the Mets to make it to the world Series it is impossible for them to face the Braves there since they are in the same division. Not to mention there reference to Kelly Johnson being a rookie despite being in his third Major League Season. I do not ask for much but commentators that actually know the game and that are capable of calling an unbiased game would be nice.
