Braves Schmaves

Bitch.
Baseball season has begun. I personally have nothing against baseball, baseball season, baseball players or baseball fans. I was quite the fan myself as a kid. Yeah, I had a baseball card collection, too! I met Brooks Robinson at the Shop 'n Save in Parkville, MD....and he signed my shirt. In my twenties, I saw the last game the Orioles ever played at Memorial Stadium and probably shed a tear or two in the name of my youth and nostalgia.
So what is my issue (this time) you may ask?
I RELY on TBS for my sitcom fix in the evenings. Once 8pm hits and the WB and Fox go to regular programming, I often flip to TBS for my goods, my rush, my stuff, my trip. The remote is the artillery I use for my bang and channel 20 is my candyman. (Yeah, I totally had to find all those word online.)
Now that baseball season has begun, TBS shows the damn Braves games. Ted Turner is a big cheese head. Look at this picture.
Cheesy.
So just because he owns TBS AND the Braves, he gets to air whatever he wants. I guess if I want to watch what I want to watch, I'll have to buy a television station....and you would think the ransom I pay to Comcast each month would have accomplished that by now.
The only thing I could find in place of good sitcoms was Roseanne on Nick at Nite. I really can't deal with her all evening. Listening to her screech feels like someone pushing a thumb tack into my forehead over and over again.
I only have to make it until 10:30....then I can go back to the WB for my nightly line up.
Atlanta Braves in place of sitcoms...that's NOT funny.

FYI, Ted Turner owns neither the Braves or TBS anymore. AOL TIme Warner owns both and they are trying to sell the Braves.
Okay, yeah, you're right...I forgot about that. So I have to be angry at Richard D. Parsons - Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of AOL Time Warner. I can do that.
It doesn't change the fact that I can't watch "Friends" when the Braves are playing. :)
And it's still a cheesy picture.
God Bless Roseanne.
