Fricking A... Does anybody care about it?
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

2004 was the best.
I think that part of the problem is the abysmal nature of Fox Sports coverage. I was so disappointed to learn that they had the contract not only for the divisional series, but also for the finals! We've suffered through their coverage during the regular season, because they cover the "local" games (well nothing's local here, but...).
I miss Jon and Joe! Especially for those who only watch the finals, Joe Morgan is the best there is at describing and explaining the intricacies of baseball, and would help so much in drawing new viewers to the sport during the regular season. Joe Buck hasn't made the acquaintance of that anachronism of the English language, the verb, and the camera work is the pits. Also the coverage seems to be heavily partisan to the Cards. I'm only watching it at all because I want the Tigers to win. (Last game I saw in person was at Tiger Stadium).
Hopefully next year the coverage will go to a network that knows what they're doing.
