The real problem with baseball on network TV is that the Fox commentators are
terrible.
They're as maudlin and melodramatic as the Hallmark channel, shallow in their coverage, and awful at factual recall. Fox baseball coverage is to real baseball coverage as bad fanfic is to literature.
Even Chris "no volume control" Berman on ESPN is better, because he actually asks his player co-host (this year, Mike Piazza) for his opinions on things, rather than relying on the player to butt in. Al Leiter (last year's ALCS guest) is a buttinsky par excellence (and a pretty good commentator to boot), but other players, NSM.
And then there is written coverage. I am reading Roger Angell's essays collected in
Game Time,
and happened on his description of Roger Clemens just recently. Angell correctly notices that, for all Clemens has a gigantic, Bondsian head, all his facial features are squashed together into a very small part of it. And then he squints, and hardly has a face at all.

Hey. No. I don't want no stray, foreign, feral cats.
Has Wired been reviewing sex toys long?
Yes.
I think they've had more than one article on "dildonics."

"It's not as powerful as (non-disposable vibrating cock rings), but it's certainly less intrusive,"
Good to know.
In a few generations they'll be tame, domestic, Murricun cats...
Or in a few months, they'll be joined together in a nice lap robe.
I am not an animal lover. There are certain pets (some of my own, and some of family and friends) whom I have loved. In general, I tolerate animals, and they tolerate me.
I think I've been living in LA too long, because the tail end of the most expensive restaurants in the US are more than I normally want to pay, but not jaw dropping. Even the article makes it sound like the high end is higher.
Nobody else has the sitcom theme song love? It's like I don't even know you people any more.
My sentimental love is reserved for cop show theme songs.
