Fox Joe Bucked it
Monday, October 24, 2005
This guy is loathed by more-than-a-few fans all-over States; for the simple reason of portraying himself as a fake-cosmopolitan, oh-so-cool guy that Fox simple loves. I came to realise today that most of the Baseball fans watch nearly all the important Sox games with the volume turned down !!!
Watching the 2 WS games and the ALCS games on FOX Sports has turned me into an anti Buck so soon.. The Fox guys absolutely stink. There are many instances to point out all proving the same --
Crede made 2 fantastic plays, the other day, and they just continued to say "Vlad is still stuck in a slump". Hey goofballs, how about the play by Crede to nail the batter down ?? @ the ALCS it was all about how A.J cheated and bla bla bla .. Those three freak plays didn't cause Angels to bat 0.175 in the series did it eh ?
An announcer is supposed to report what he just saw on the field with an occassional stats thrown in, not his personal opinions. Who want's to listen to what you think? I mean really... does it make any difference to me as an audience ?
Yesterday's match - only 17 times before this match in the history of MLB has a Grand Slam been hit. Yesterday Konerko hitting the 18th one. And these guys @ Fox show the error in Judgement made by the home plate umpire ? I mean - hello - this guy just hit the ball out of the ground .. and it was probably shown once - if that .. Agreed that the ball might have hit Dye's bat ( difficult for the umpire ) but then you had a chance to get the next guy .. couldnt get an out could you .. On the other hand the equalizer by Astros was shown from every angle possible, they would have shown it from a copter flying in the sky - if possible !!
I mean come on , I dont need the announcers to point out the way the Sox are outperforming the opponents (cheating as they may claim) and so much that fans have started writing in local newspapers about this guy. I think its high time Fox started thinking about bringing some new faces, they'd be losing a huge viewer support else....

It's been a busy time of celebration for Web browsers. Firefox marked its 100 millionth download recently with much fanfare, and even Opera got into the act with a birthday of its own .
Hey, you have a great blog here! I'm definitely going to bookmark you!
I have a traffic swarm site/blog. It pretty much covers traffic swarm related stuff.
Come and check it out if you get time, Scott :-)
