Earlier this evening Sweetie and I got to see Justin Verlander no-hit the Brewers on ESPN. They interrupted their regular programming to show the top of the 9th inning. Good stuff.
On the crawl, where normally they'd be showing current scores of all the games of all sports in progress, was something that basically said, "You're watching a no-hitter here, so don't get upset that it's not what you expected it to be when you tuned in."
I know it's not the case, but I kind of wish that on all of the other ESPN stations they switched the crawl to read, "What the hell are you doing watching this? Tune in to ESPN and you could watch Justin Verlander pitch a no-hitter you shlub."
Last Sat night the IRL race broadcast was running about 45 minutes behind the actual race (thanks to the dangblasted Bucsh Series race...
whyIoughta!!!). With about 12 laps to go on the broadcast the ESPN2 crawler showed the WINNER of the race...being that the race was already concluded in real time. Thanks so much ESPN. Thanks.
