Bye-Bye TBS - Hello Fox Sports

I'm curious, does anyone know when Frank TV starts?

This show better be to the level of Entourage the way TBS is promoting it. For sports fan not familiar with Frank or the fan who only watches sports come playoff time, I wouldn't be surprised if you are saying to yourself that you will boycott this show because you are so sick of the Frank TV commercials.

I for one, will not be watching for a different reason. Cox Communications, out here in the Phoenix market, has yet to pick up TBSHD. Watching these playoff games is like watching sports back in the 90's. How did we ever manage? The only time I veer away from my HD stations is when I'm forced to. And, unfortunately these TBS playoff games have forced me to.

On to the ALCS for the Indians, where Fox will be picking up the games. That's HD Channel 710 and no more Frank TV spots for me. For all you NL fans, enjoy TBS, no HD with Cox in Phoenix and Frank TV a little longer.

Blame it on the Bugs

The Indians called upon their 10th man tonight and boy did the 10th man show up. And he brought some friends. Thousands of them.

Night fell on Jacob's Field and the bugs I grew up swatting away as a child on a hot Ohio summer night came a calling.

The volume was off the TV from the 7th inning on, so I can only imagine what the TBS commentators had to say, but it was a crazy site to witness.

Like the Indians of the 90's, this Tribe team has no quit in them at all. Fausto Carmona will be a household name for a long time to come. And this young Indians team is only going to get better.

I was forced to turn the volume off the TV in the 6th inning after finally realizing that the Yankees were not concerned at all over getting smacked to the ground last night. They had Andy Pettite on the mound. The savior, the only picture they would want in this situation, the one that would turn things around for the team and the city of New York.

Man do I dislike sports commentators. There is a need for play-by-play, but please do away with ridiculous commentators. I think they go into games already having decided what they would talk about, inning after inning after inning. There are a couple good ones out there, but as a whole, I would be fine with just play-by-play.

Here's to a one and done game in New York on Sunday.
