I don't remember which guy it was, but I remember I used to watch Saturday baseball and they would always make a comment about how such and such was a bad baserunning mistake, and half the time they were wrong. They would say it literally every week, so I guess they thought it made them seem intelligent.

The on one National television. The announcers were so pro-Giants, I had to watch it on Mute.

I am pretty sure we are talking about the same game. They were pro Giants because every mistake a Dodger would make, they would replay it a million times and say how bad of a mistake it was. That got annoying. Not only that, but they kept on and on about how Giant Fans are more supportive of their team and take the rivalry more seriously. That pissed me off. Especially, when we have the higher attendance rate.

The comeback game where we lost in the 14th is the only game I think of where the Giants had a strong point. Joe Buck is one of those terrible FOX announcers that chooses a side and commentates with bias. As for the attendance thing, your stadium has about 16,000 more seats. PS- At least they were right when they said Giants fans are more supportive :winkglasses:
