FOX has gone too far with the commercials...

Is nothing sacred in baseball anymore?? Its bad enough that the first 20 minutes of every postseason game is a plug for something - the "Home Depot Tools to the Game" or the "Budweiser First Pitch" or the "Preparation H Crotch Scratch of the Game." Ok, the last one was made up, but just wait. Good thing only us Hobbs read this. I think we crossed some line, though, tonight, with the entire game intro intermixed with audio and video from a stupid sci-fi movie 'Avatar.' Seriously, if you missed it, you missed out.

My jaw dropped as the serious voice talked about how each team wanted to 'make a statement' tonight, and then some clip from the movie with the characters saying 'We need to send a message!' Come on. Can all baseball fans pay some FOX tax of a buck a game to not have to hear that?

And don't even get me started about Buck and McCarver spending an entire at-bat talking football. Apparently the WORLD SERIES isn't interesting enough. But I digress.

On a good note, I really like the MLB 'Beyond Baseball' stuff, photos and video of the players when they were kids. Very cool.
