Go Bees or the Third Base Coach is a Bum

I've been meaning to go to a Salt Lake Bees game for some time, but, apparently, the hottest day of the year was the day to go. Sitting out in the blazing sun right on the first base line wasn't that bad, although I'm feeling a bit sun-worn and lightheaded now. The Bees were doing fine until they changed pitchers. Adenhardt gave up a tripple (with many runners on) and a homer. Still, they could have rallied. The third base coach made the worst call ever when he told the runner who was half-way to third to hold up when the outfielder was bobbling a very well-placed hit. It might have been an inside the park home run. Oy. He's a bum, I tell you. Bees lose.

Meta this: modern broadcasting incompetence, extraordinaire! or where I advertise another blogging venture

I make a grand, sweeping generalization about Fox 13's broadcasting incompetence of the Boston/Cleveland game tonight over at TWIT : I see the lack of notification on the part of broadcasters as yet another example of the decline of our society into greedy, me-first, ill-mannered priggishness. Stick that in your craw, FAWWWWWWWWWWWWKS* 13 and suck it!** *You must picture John Kleenex saying the FOX 13 bit.) **I need a little old lady to sit on the side of my blog and comment on my posts. On this one, she would be saying "How crass!"
