   Yea, that curve to Thome is fun to watch. Also, how about tbs including the pitchfx graphic throughout the games? Nice, eh? You hear that FoxSports?! The home of Cougar Town and Big Bang Theory is kicking your ass. veryfunny

     In fact, who would win in a fight between Ted Turner and Rupert Murdoch? HA! Trick question, dumbass. The answer is a tag team of Superstation-era Dale Murphy and Conan O’Brien’s L.A. Looks hair gel. That’s how much tbs is killing it right now with that pitch tracker. End of discussion.

   The first one was actually pretty nasty. I remember thinking how dangerous the second one was though.
