Wanne Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 But man...their coverage SUCKED ASS! Even though we had to endure Berman on ESPN...it was still better than Fox...that's why it was so great the Sox stuck it up everybody's ass!!!! So I had to vent at them for my sake...via email. Here's what I sent. My God...that was THE WORST series I've ever witnessed in terms of coverage and announcers (and I'm a White Sox fan). From pre-game people, to post game...to those complete BOOBS Joe Buck and McCarver. Fox pays a boatload of money for these events only to have people like Buck and McCarver completely butcher them. My father still lives in IL...and he said the people back there are so pissed at Buck and McCarver right now...they should probably NEVER go to that city again. Between production, inane cartoon characters which were insulting...to the constant complaining of Buck and McCarver that the calls FOR the Sox have completely screwed the other teams...it was embarrassing...I was embarrassed for your network. Jesus Christ...if you guys spent as much time on the grassy knoll in Dallas we'd probably know who killed JFK!!!! Absolutely atrocious job by Fox...and personally...you should give up your rights to cover MLB...because you've handled it with complete unprofessionalism and tried to ruin a euphoric moment for the Chicago White Sox (albeit failed in that regard). You should be embarrassed by your coverage. If you want to point at ratings...maybe you should associate the poor ratings with your poor coverage and complete buffoonery in the broadcast booth. My suggestion to you...let NBC have baseball back....you guys obviously can't handle it! Sincerely.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Speaking of the "all the calls go the Sox way" theory...remember Jason Lane's HR in game 3 that was actually hit to the left of the yellow line and should have been and was a double? Interesting how they mentioned it lile twice and then let it go. If a Sox player did the same, they would nag about it all 14 innings plus game 4. GMAFB.

SnB Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 if you guys can't let things go during this week, your never going to. Nothing, nothing could even remotely get upset right now. Just relax and keep smiling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middle Buffalo Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 I thought the pre- and post-game shows lacked substance, but I have to say that the little montage (sp?) set to music at the end of the last game was pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought.... I agree. Your basic thoughts are right on, but keep the invective out of it, and you may actually get a hearing. Maybe.
