Playoff Coverage

I don't know about you, but playoff baseball, which should be exciting, tends to be spoiled by the endless commercial delays, as well as by the dreadful announcing.  Quite my least favorite is the Fox Sports color man, Tim McCarver.

Now Tim is usually just a treasure trove of irrelevant and trivial and just plain dumb nattering, but last night he outdid himself.  Brandon Inge was batting for the Tigers.  McCarver stated that Inge would never see a fastball in this at-bat, that he didn't pull the ball anymore and that he had lost his power.  Inge promptly deposited a fast ball over the left field wall.  This kind of insight is hard to top.
