Having personally confessed a disinterest in postseason baseball when my club is not involved, I am being forced to watch it today.

I’m pet sitting for the afternoon for a family member and their TV is on to entertain the dog. Their TV set up is so complicated - to me at least - because they have three remotes so I don’t know what to do so I have to watch the Phillies play the Braves or I have to leave the room.

In general, I dislike the Braves less than the Phillies. Go Atlanta… Sorta…

Remember back in the old days when they had those TV's where you could just turn it on, start watching it and change channels effortlessly?  And the programming was all for free too!

Remember, too, when you first got premium channels you had to pay for on a monthly basis and they never had commercials?

But, but, but but but but they need to increase “shareholder value!”

Opposite for me. That racist fake war chant the "Brave" fans do really irritates me. Everything about that team is racist. The Atlanta Crackers.

And here is your schedule for the upcoming Wild Card series: 

 

The one series I want to watch starts at 10 PM EST. Much too late for me, I would be a zombie tomorrow.

I’m a bit perplexed why the Braves and the Chiefs are ok, but the Indians and Redskins aren’t.  As though the only problematic thing about any of it is a logo.

They are problematic but the org hasn’t changed their names. Nobody made them do it other than market forces.  There’s no governing body to decide such things.  Cleveland and Washington organizations changed it on their own.

Jason doing the NY/Boston game. No giggling allowed...lol

Don’t go on social media if you don’t want to know how much the rest of the country dislikes him.

Further evidence for my assertion that there is no job in broadcasting more thankless than calling baseball on national TV.
