I hear FOX wants to get rid of baseball too. Good riddance. They take this majestic game, and cheap it up with stupidity from the broadcasters (Jeannie Zelasko? Steve Lyons? please . . .), to the graphics to that awful music. <BR/><BR/>And Schoenweis? Buddy, throw strikes. And how about we stop giving up that gopher ball? I must admit, when Jeter was up in the 8th, I expected a tie game. If I'm Willie, I put Scohenweis on mop-up duty until he gets it right.
