    Stop the gimmicky nonsense

    So, FOX is running a "feature" in their pre-game show...mock court cases between clubs....where the judge decides which team will go to the World Series.

    Cubs vs. Phillies...Angels vs. White Sox...

    And Eric Byrnes "plays" each team.

    The "winners" were the Cubs and Angels...and there were only 5 teams involved...the above mentioned teams and the Rays.

    WTF?!

    What is this nonsense?

    Oh and Torii Hunter is "on fire...10 home runs in his last 96 games."

    LOL.

    And I just checked that, it's actually 10 home runs in his last 96 at bats...so, honest mistake, but still funny nonetheless..

    FOX pisses me off altogether.

    You've got "fair and balanced" FOX News (LOL) preaching conservative values, while the FOX Network shows ridiculously raunchy shows.

    Add in the literary mastery of The New York Post, a bunch of other things that Richard Branson owns (MySpace, WhatIfSports, Virgin Airlines, Virgin Records, and a bunch of other things) and you realize that Richard Branson owns quite a bit of the world.

    It's pretty unsettling.

    I agree with you here...except you got the wrong billionaire. Rupert Murdoch owns the Fox family, not Richard Branson.

    Oh, so Virgin Airlines/Records isn't affiliated with Fox?

    Good...

    Nope. I think all of Murdoch's holdings are media related companies, while Branson's are sort of splattered all over the place.
