Hi, MLBTV,

I appreciate your thoughtfulness in trying to spare me a Sheffield at bat by going all wonky as soon as he came to the plate, but I did not enjoy missing that RBI that put us on the board. I am going to have to deal with this Sheffield thing, and while it was sweet of you to think of me, your enabling my denial will not help me in the long run. I am simply going to have to find a way to watch the Tigers without stewing in bitterness and resentment every ninth at bat.

Maybe if I pretend it's someone else who happens to be named Gary Sheffield?

For real. Can you imagine if, say, cable worked like this? Half the time you turn your TV on, it asks you to enter your credit card information and then another third of the time it just says "sorry, we're not working right now, give us a call if it still doesn't work in 20 minutes." SERIOUSLY enraging.

It's amazing what they can and do get away with because they monopolize the baseball market. If your cable company pisses you off, you can switch to dish or cancel altogether. If the MLB pisses you off, that's too bad because there's nowhere else you can go to get your major league baseball. You can't vote with your dollars because there's no other candidate and no space for a write-in.
