Thank goodness Jamie and Katherine are on their way home...I'm getting hoarse yelling at the TV...watching the Yankees-Indians game on TBS' Game of the Week (lol) and Posada just hit a home run that a fan fought with the right fielder for, and the umps had to review it on instant replay. Don't get me started. They upheld the call (fan was reaching out, but clearly not into the field of play - sorry RF, what do you want from fans that you embarrassed in their new park yesterday?)...so, what ticks me off is Chip and Ron instantly go to referencing Jeffrey Maier and Bartman, even after replays clearly show how different the play was. On top of that, now Chip is talking about how MLB should mount fixed cameras on the foul pole to 'take the guesswork and human element' out of the equation...
As my pulse returns to normal and my breathing eases, I can't help but ask - wouldn't a computer do a better job with the play-by-play than Chip Carey? Talk about 'guesswork' and the 'human element'...
Giants are on now, so thankfully I can pretend none of this ever happened...

HAHA!!! What is it with this rash of hi-enous baseball broadcasters? Who is hiring them? I think that those who can't do, teach and those who can't do or teach or come up with pithy remarks get picked up by big networks... Jus' like a donkey eatin' a waffle!
It's because of that truth Jay that I've decided to try my hand in Announcing Water Hockey Matches. Of course I would never try and compete; TO DANGEROUS!
