Comcast Ruins Broadcasts Like Sox Fans Ruin Underpants

Perhaps there's something wrong with my television. Perhaps I keep inadvertently laying on the "Mute" button. Perhaps there isn't a first or second pitch of each inning. But I suspect that there is a different culprit for the consistently poor Cubs broadcasts that I have received. Comcast Sports Net sucks. Comcast misses pitches, the audio cuts in and out, they forced me to listen to Chip Caray say "Cue the duck" during Aflac trivia, and they force Len and Bob to wear stupid, Cardinal-colored polos. Also, how lame is this site? Yeah, I have Front Page Editor too, guys.

What are there, 4 games on WGN this year? Do you remember when you used to come home to watch a Cubs game and check WGN before you checked CSN? It seemed like nearly every game was on WGN. Diluting the games to stations like CSN and UPN is a travesty to Cubs baseball. It simply does not feel like Cubs baseball. Watching a Cubs game on UPN when the Cubs are wearing the alternate blue jerseys against an American League team is like watching Harry Caray judge a "Mr. Tight Shorts" competition. There's just something not right about it. Please, Comcast. Please, please, please just go away. Your cable and internet service sucks enough as it is. Quit ruining my Cubs baseball.
