I was watching ESPN yesterday afternoon (my first mistake), and I have no idea who this woman was hosting this SportsCenter-esque show, but she made at least three factual errors in about 10 minutes of watching.  First, she made a comment about how Garland and Thome getting traded to the Dodgers indicated that the Giants are making a run at the postseason.  Then, she incorrectly reported the Reds-Pirates final score as 5-4, when the screen clearly indicated it was 4-3.  I forget the third error, but she was astonishingly bad.  When she made the Dodgers-Giants blunder, I forget which ESPN baseball "insider" was there, but he just looked stunned.

I don't know her name but was it the really, really skinny broad with the Sideshow Bob hair? She's terrible. TERRIBLE.

Yes.  Exactly.

She makes me hate sports. I'm actually really glad I'm not the only one that noticed this. I should just start airing my grievances directly to you.

Maybe she had a bad home life. I bet she's better at analyzing sports off camera.

I enjoy how they have two fucking decimal places of "precision" and this methodology:

They should have done this a few years ago so we could see the spike that occurs when ever Craig Biggio is at bat.

I listened to about thirty seconds of Hampton and Hub last night before having to turn it off.  Those guys are just not good.

I'd like them to measure the decibels.  JUDD SIROTT!!!!!! would win.
