This could have been a comment on Dre’s previous post but sometimes it is annoying with the comments are this long.
Does anyone know how much longer fox has the contract for baseball because it needs to be done with. It is annoying enough to have to watch clip after clip from the diamond cam that ads nothing to the game, but to be force to listen to Tim McCarver and Joe Buck talk about "eric" chavez, and "chris" floyd is just punishing. I mean these guys must have really don’t their homework, its not like they have 7 games to figure out who the players are. Throw Joe Morgan in their and you have an All-Star booth. I honestly believe if you where to look at all the statement those two make over the course of the game maybe 60% would be right. I loved hearing about how good John Maine's change up looked on one particular pitch…. Well Tim that’s because it was a 96 mph fastball. And I really don’t need to see the pitcher face that close up on every pitch.
The worst part about the whole ordeal was the way it happened, and I am not even talking about leaving bases load and the tying run on second. Carpenter and Pujols were total non-factors. One RBI for Albert (who turns out to be a huge bitch I guess) and the best Chris did was leave one of his games tied. Not only that but the Mets pitch wasn’t that bad, of course it could have been better but with the exception of Trach it wasn’t as bad as ever expecting coming into the series. And in all but one game the staff carried the non-existent offense. I know they say pitching and defense wins games but in the case it was lack of pitching and defense loses games.
I do believe the Mets will be back next year it is just a question of which front line starter they go after. I guess in every season fans need to go through some pain due to their teams trials and tribulations. It is just a shame that for Mets fans the first time we had a game to be worried about we were out of the playoffs. Mets still have not played meaningful ball in September, but maybe next year.

Extreme close-ups and infinitely long zoom-ins are annoying, I agree. But, I'm so glad that Fox is covering playoff baseball this October... no other network would set you up with so many easy "Hey, get that camera out of Kenny Roger's face!" jokes... only on Fox.
I agree that Buck and McCarver do sound reduciously stupid at times and at times they can be very annoying. But I did see an interivew with Buck on Conan the Friday before game 1 of the World Series and it was hilarioius. Not only was Conan funny, but Buck was great too, it was a really good interview and Buck impressed me.
