Berman mercifully avoiding the "back, back, back" call.  Unmercifully, he continues to announce.

Cano is DESTROYING the ball!

I remember all the good times me 'n Miller enjoyed
Up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy
But the future has to change - and to change I've got to destroy
Oh look out Lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy

Sorry.

On another note I realized that if I change the language preference on my TV to Spanish I can avoid BAAAAAACKBACKBACKBACKBACK in favor of A LO PROFUNDOOOOO Y NOOOOOOO, NOno NOno NOOOO! DIGANLE QUE NO A ESA PELOTA! which, for now, is marginally less irritating.

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when after one homer, he screamed, "THAT'S DISGUSTING!" so I just shook my head.

Unsurprisingly, I didn't miss a thing by having the sound muted for most of the parts I watched. Even without Berman telling me, I knew whether it was a home run or not...

In the end, my dissolution with the game of baseball will not be a result of any loss of love for the game, rather from the realization that I can no longer bear the anger its supposed stewards cause to be built up in my soul. -Lee (01/08/2013)
