I'm thinking that the NLCS wouldn't be getting historically low ratings on TV if they didn't make us stay up until 2 am to watch it. Having two western small market teams doesn't help, I guess, but still.

No doubt; I love baseball, any baseball, but I'm having trouble staying awake to watch these things to completion.

There is that.
And I thank the baseball gawds that the ALCS is on Fox and not the TBS.

As bad as Buck/McCarver may be (and I don't think he's all that bad), Chip Caray is the pinnacle of suck. If a broadcaster purposed in his mind to suck, chemically enhanced his suck, and did suck training for a decade, he would barely reach suck base camp on the Everest of Caray suck.

Well, as you can plainly see I do try to keep an open mind. He's no Joe Morgan, that's for sure.

He's better when he's doing the NL. He knows absolutely nothing about the AL and was constantly wrong during the AL games he worked.

Now I LIKE it when Joe Morgan and Jim Miller (I think that's his name) work games together.

Johnny Miller, maybe.
If you like Morgan though, you're just a sick, sick rsfcker.

Jon Miller has a great voice and a good historical sense for the game. Too bad he's been stuck with Cap'n Morgan all these years.
