The Giants suck. No doubt I hate baseball but tonight is even worse because the Giants game has gone into extra innings and pre-empting/delaying the (already tape-delayed) Earthquakes-Fire broadcast. Both sides may currently be in last place in thier respective divisions but are still strong squads that match up well against each other and I was really looking forward to watching. Making it worse, FSN hasn’t even bothered to have the announcers say anything or to run a crawl on the bottom of the screen telling us whether they’ll join in progress.
As I wrote the last sentence, the Pirates hit a home run to win the game. 7:24. How long will it be before the soccer is onscreen? Oh sure, let’s show some commercials (five) first, then back to the idiotsannouncers.
Looks like the entire match will be broadcast, at least, given that their opening with a normal pre-game run up.
Later: We lost 2-1 when we should have won 3-1 or better. Landon hit the crossbar, Mullan hit the left post, the ref gave us one PK but completely missed a second (not to mention giving out cards like they were bites of chocolate). Mostly, even with a man advantage for the last 50 minutes, the Quakes just never got it together tonight. I would also question Coach Kinnear’s decision to put Donovan on in place of Derosario to start the second half; I would have put Donovan on, for sure, but in place of Waibel and gone with a 3-5-2. Damn, with both Dallas and Colorado also losing tonight we blew a good shot to climb back into third and instead remain in the cellar.
