Cubs win game 1. Nice manager dual in the 8th. But why pitch Dayton when the game was over for all intents a purposes?
Go Cubs!

Those FOX announcers are the worst.
They make the guys who do the Angel Games sound like Vin Scully.

I tried everything, Tad. But the whole damn telecast is crap.
The camera work sucks. The picture goes from one long facial closeup to another facial closeup to another facial closeup - then a pitch - and back to this guy's face and that guy's face. And they're all a bunch of dogfaces.
I'm more interested in seeing how the infield is playing, or how deep the outfield is, or what the baserunners are doing, or maybe the base coach is sending signals. You know, the game. Not another guy's unshaven face, filling the whole screen.

Classic set-up for the upcoming commercial space Schick overpaid for.

I'm glad Kevin Durant opted to go to the Lakers, rather than San Francisco
Whatch you talkin bout Willis?
I don't follow basketball much, maybe it was Lark Walton or is it MeadowLark?

Who am I to complain! This is the first game I've watched in a long time and I cheated by switching channels to football, but ...
There don't seem to be as many ball-scratching shots as I remember, but there is still a plethora of spitting and nose picking going on.

Always happy to see new teams get to the post season, then I get to check out their MLB play-by-play announcers. Discovered the Rangres' Eric Nadel a few years ago. I'm lovin' Clevland's Tom Hamilton, and by the look of things I'll get to hear him call a World Series too.

I've been muting (some) announcers for (most) games for at least a decade now. This crew is fo'sho muted.
Looks to be a great game, though. The over-worked Kershaw against the not-a-household-name-but-still-really-good Cubs pitcher.

Thank satan that dumbass McCarver is done. Hated his moronic commentary for decades.
Fun fact: Joe Buck is addicted to getting hair plugs (and you can look it up)

Even ignoring all the replays there is a tremendous amount of superfluous info in these broadcasts. A good time lapse editor could probably cut the viewing time in half. Then interested viewers could take the saved time and rewatch the cool replays.
Does anybody really need to see these games in realtime? Don't y'all remember The Sting? Only important for betting.
I will be watching the Lakers v Warriors on Wednesday 'live', ball scratching and sh#t-talking and all.

Why did Contreras even take a bat up there?
Walling, not cool to make fun of Alzheimers patients, unless they're being paid.

It was a choice, either his glove or his bat.
