1. Faux Sports are so pro-Yankee it's nauseating
I had to turn on the radio (WEEI) and mute the TV.

4. Me,too
They are despicable. I think they managed to mention the name "Buckner" at least 10 times in the last game with the As.Btw,did I mention how JEALOUS I am that you are going to yet another playoff game?;)
:hi:

12. I can't listen to them on tv
I listen to Joe and Jerry on the radio and look up when needed.

13. Gotta love the Remdawg!
Joe and Jerry are so much more knowledgeable that any FAUX sportscaster. Though Jerry often makes me nervous with his screaming.

8. FAUX Sports is only slightly less biased than their news division
And it's always in favor of overrated teams like the Yankees

15. Well --
We dont have cable either, and they showed the Yankee-Boston game here -- which I don't care about. I ran over to the Laurelwood Pub just as fast as I could to catch the Cubbies.

How is it that you only saw two Yankee games this year? We're on the west coast, and we still had to watch them practically every week.
