Of course the only HD feed for tonights game is the Sox broadcast and all the excellence that brings with it.
I guess we'll get out the rabbit ears.

You don't get The U's HD feed up in Duffman Estates?

The U's "HD" feed just means a 3 digit number as opposed to channel 6.

It looks like it was shot with a camera made from a potaoto.

Since you're watching the Cubes and the Sox, I fail to see what the issue is.

I can't help it even if I put it on mute I know they are still talking.
It has to do damage to the equipment.

I watched about 5 minutes of Hawk & Stone before I rememberized the U was an option. Those two smug fuckpuddles were, impossibly, even worse than I recalled. In the span of that 5 minutes they literally SCOFFED at the notion that the Cubs were trying to teach some plate discipline/pitch recognition to Castro. Stone then listed Castro's hits by year as a big leaguer as if he were making some profound and subtle point about what good that nerd-learnin had done for Starlin. Finally, Hawk ACTUALLY SAID (paraphrasing here) the Cubs should know better than to try to teach patience to a Latin player.

Those Latins are like wild animals, I tells ya!

When this generation of mindless baseball cretins dies off, who's going to replace them so we still have something to bitch about?

This could probably go in Unlistenable and Unreadable as well, but what's important is fuck Jim Belushi and ESPN.

I can't tell which concept I hate more: Yellon as the voice of the Cub fan or Belushi as the voice of the Cub fan.
