Oh, crap, McCarver can't even pronounce "Iggles" correctly.

Phantom score and an intentional walk to Chooch - what a weird inning.

Prediction: Wanda Sykes' new talk show will last 17 episodes, tops.

Rally lobsters come into the game: Flapjacks goes on my head, Utley homers. Flapjacks stays on my head.

Prediction: the American Express Faces commercial will be more memorable than anything from the Super Bowl.

Digital audio got garbled, and now Joe Buck sounds like Darth Vader's learning-disabled little brother.

Five things I hate about the World Series, that are (mostly) not the New York Yankees:

1. Fox's insane overuse of closeups. We get to see every pore on Johnny Damon's nose, but don't know that the infield has shifted, the guy on second base just fell down trying to lead off and the third-base umpire is on fire.

2. Inane storylines from Buck and McCarver, who ignore everything that's going on to tell us that Mark Teixeira earned every merit badge the Boy Scouts had to offer, and what it means to him. Meanwhile, four innings have gone by, and we have to hope they manage to mention that seven runs have scored.

3. Eleven billion tie-ins, each of which must be mentioned or acknowledged at least once an inning, commercial break or pre-/post-game. Wanda Sykes, I'm looking in your direction.

4. The awful, disingenuous local Fox News promos, and awful local TV news coverage during the World Series. Are drunk, screaming people in a bar really newsworthy?

5. The reverential tone Ken Rosenthal and the other on-field reporters take with Yankees players after wins. I'm still not sure how Ken manages to be intelligible with A-Rod's dick in his mouth.
