TV. The play-by-play guy is actually pretty good, but the color guy (not Don Sutton right now, another former player whose name I haven't caught) has a terrible voice, is repetitive, is a big-time homer, and is downright obnoxious at times. Today he was vociferously complaining about two pitches that were called balls that were OBVIOUSLY BLOWN CALLS. Thing is, replay showed that they were borderline. Of course, he kept complaining. The pbp guy seemed annoyed. There were awkward pauses aplenty. Throughout the rest of the game, he's told us what every batter and every pitcher should be thinking before every pitch.
