Fox is Evil

Did you get to see the game yesterday? I didn’t.
In case you don’t live in Charlotte and haven’t had occassion to drive many times to Tampa to see friends and escape the winter, or drive to Baltimore to visit your family and friends, let me share some numbers. Charlotte is pretty close to dead smack in between Tampa and Baltimore. It is 450 miles to Baltimore and about 500 miles to Tampa.
So why then, why, when MASN is broadcast here, would Fox decide to air a game other than the Orioles vs. Tampa game yesterday?
I don’t believe that it is a huge leap of logic to deduct that there may be living in Charlotte, both Orioles fans and Rays fans. Is it? Or, am I a genius, after all? I think we all know the answer to that question. So, let’s go back to, “why?”
To be honest, it wasn’t really that big of a deal. I am so drowning in homework that by the time I started looking for a game, it was the sixth inning. Still, Fox is evil, except for the Nanny 911 and Trading Spouses shows. Those are great. And Family Guy, and King of the Hill, when I have the rare occassion to see them. Anyway, Obama sure has his work cut out for him with all these rampant corporate misdeeds. (Yes, of course this is Bush’s fault. Duh!)
It’s okay. Today, I’m all ready for the game. Shields is pitching and I can’t wait to see him. He has the most extraordinary wind-up. (At least, I think it’s him.) Also pitching for Tampa Bay today will be Brian Burres. twO was supposed to take care of him ages ago, but whatever, I guess he has other priorities. Fine.
Baseball on a Sunday. It’s good to be home!
Update: Well, it’s not Sheilds who has the funky windup. Whoever it was on Opening Day went into a stoop just before releasing the pitch. I could have sworn it was Shields. I guess I had imbibed a little too much Clipper City.
