Question for anyone who has been watching the World Series:

[bertha katzenengel]

I caught just a snip last night. A White Sox home run.

When they showed the replay, it seemed as though Fox had added sound effects - a low-pitched swoosh for the swing, a reverberating BOOM when the ball hit the bat, etc.

Is it just me or did Fox really add sound effects to the goddamned replays?

[woofless]

1. Yes. They also make sure some dumb noise accompanies

any change in graphic content onscreen. Very annoying. I am sick of watching MLB on Faux.

Woof

[never cry wolf]

2. Yes, they do the same shit for football too

Bugs the hell outta me.

3. isn't that just the dumbest fucking thing ever?

well, except for their talking baseball, their glowing hockey pucks, their take over the screen graphics...

4. What's worse is that animated talking baseball!

I mean come on, I think most people watching the world series know enough about baseball to know what most of the plays are!

5. And who wants to learn the game from a baseball named Sparky?

or whatever the fuck they call it?

6. I nearly died when Scooter explained a fast ball to me last night

Stop it. If you're watching the World series, you know what a fast ball is.

7. Yeah, no kidding! I'm going to start throwing things at my TV tonight...

If that stupid thing comes on again!

8. CBS has been doing that to college hoops for years

All those squeaky sneakers? All fake.

Faux, however, has raised annoying sports enhancements* to an art form. Remember the glowing puck when they had hockey? :puke:
