FOX TV commits one of the greatest of all sins against baseball
In an act that pure baseball fans would consider the highest form of treason, the FOX TV network abruptly cut off Hall of Fame Detroit Tigers broadcaster, Ernie Harwell during a pre-All Star game interview. I think it was Kevin Kennedy on the field who had JUST STARTED interviewing Ernie Harwell, when the blonde with nice legs (they are a staple on FOX broadcasts) interrupted almost as soon as Ernie started answering the very first question! OUTRAGEOUS! Ernie had only gotten out a few words, when the voice from off camera began, "Well, we'd just love to go on and on and on with this..." and then proceded to cut away and go onto another segment. FOX once again has proven that they are complete idiots. This cements it. You suck FOX. You wouldn't know a good interview, even if you employed any actual journalists.

3. Faux ruined the game
Every year since they've had the game, it's gotten worse. To do this to Harwell with that lousy announcing team to go to some stupid Smokey Robinson crap was an abomination. And why did we have to see the goof throwing balls through some sponsor's hoop to try to win $1 million?

And notice that every year, Faux cuts the Canadian national anthem to go to commercials. This makes me so freaking mad, I just shut the game off.
