MLB on Fox

How much does it suck watching the Yankees playoff games on Fox? Buck and McCarver A. are both absolutely terrible and B. obvious Yankee haters. First of all, that safe at 2nd call last nite was w/out a doubt the right one. Izturis was clearly nowhere near the bag and the umpire had a perfect view of it. And the baserunner was nowhere near him, the SS had a clear throwing lane and was in no imminent danger. If you are gonna give the fielder that call, why even make him step on the base at all? Why not just call the runner out if it is obvious that the ball would beat him, like a quasi infield fly rule on what should be a routine DP ball. And they dont shut up about it and assume thats been happening all nite and blast the ump for being inconsistent only to correct themselves later in almost an afterthought in passing that most people prob missed. Why not show the replays that proves the ump did the right thing?

I love Jeter as much as any fan does who doesnt secretly want to fuck him but how come everything he does becomes a slow mo heroic montage? Jeter pumping his fist, Jeter running to first set to music that was more obviously heroic then those involved w/ 9/11 got. Its fucking baseball not life or death.
