TBS Sunday afternoon baseball!
Is there anything in sports TV that's more useless? Why does TBS feel the need to have a Sunday afternoon national game? Today, it was the Phillies vs. the Marlins.
I'd love to know what the ratings are for those games vs. reruns of "Everybody Loves Raymond" or "Forrest Gump" or whatever TBS usually has on Sundays.
Does the executive who signed off on paying baseball money for these games still have his or her job? I know, I know, they wanted to get in on the baseball postseason. But really...Bud Selig and his cronies must have thought the TBS boys were kidding when they proposed this.

Anthony ... not everyone has all the MLB some people have, and they will watch everything. And anything.
Once upon a time WTBS's purpose was to remind (white) Southerners of why they lost the Woah by forcing them to watch the Atlanta Braves of the Dale Murphy-Bob Horner era.
[If you have to ask which war ... nevermind. The fact that the Braves currently play in a place where their white ancestors forced out the Cherokee (see Trail of Tears) suggests that the there was some karma at work in bring Braves' fans to tears.
As Chicago Norm can tell you, that's not all that different from the mission of WGN: to allow the nation to share the suffering of the Chicago Cubs (Black Hawk history lesson passed over for the moment).
But at least the Braves got better.
