SHUT UP!
Dear Oakland Athletics TV announcers:
I must insist you move on to new careers, and let someone worthwhile come in and take your place. I've got your game on now, and you're driving me insane!
Sin the first: You had a trivia question from Kelowna, B.C., yet one of you couldn't pronounce Kelowna correctly. Not a sin on its own, but I'm pretty sure you had the trivia question before the game started and could have found out before you went on the air.
Sin the second: You comment on how Oakland has a lot of fans in British Columbia, as if it's this strange anomaly. However, your short-season single-A team is the Vancouver Canadians. PERHAPS there are a lot of Oakland baseball fans in BC because of THIS. Hmmm... would have been a good thing to mention.
Sin the third: One of you started rambling about the San Diego Chargers quarterback or some such. The other had to remind you that you were announcing a BASEBALL game in OAKLAND.
Seriously, you're rambling on about boring things. Not that you don't get stuck occasionally in a nine-inning game, but there's got to be SOMETHING interesting going on at SOME point in time. And if you're going to ramble, at least ramble about things related to your game, your team, your town, so it's not a total non-sequitur.
Just for that, I'm rooting for Texas.

Maybe there's something in the water. The Twins color guy just said that Mo Vaughn was the last player to wear #42 (wrong...Mariano Rivera is still wearing it) and remarked that the Twins have retired the number of "Harvey Killebrew." Wow. That's the TWINS announcer.
