OT: Red Wings Are Fine

Submitted by Maximinus Thrax on

But what the fuck FSN Detroit? This is like the fourth Tigers game that Wings playoff hockey has bumped. For fuck sake, at least make use of the BTN overflow channels or something. Fuck. This is killing me.

You guys are right, I should like baseball. Over 100 games at over 3 hours each. That's exciting stuff. Pitch one ball... 10 minutes later after the pitcher tries to throw out the guy at first twice and we get a second pitch... another ball? If that's not entertainment then I don't know what is. The only exciting part about a baseball game is the homeruns, and that's a pretty short lived excitement. The 100+ game season is what kills it for me.

1996. The Wings were playing the St. Louis Blues in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. I'm watching the game with a group of friends. The scoring is tight. We were all on the edge of our seats. You could cut the intensity with a knife...SUDDENLY!...ESPN cuts to a fu**en BASEBALL game because Dwight FU**EN Gooden is pitching a no hitter! ARRRGGGGH! WTF! Have you any idea how long it takes for a pitcher to deal a single pitch? ( /rhetorical ) Let alone get three guys out? We were all losing our fu**en minds. Every pitch someone in the room would yell out something like: "HOMERUN!" OR "FU**EN HIT IT!" By the time Gooden finished his no-no the Wings had scored. We were happy the Wings had scored to be sure, but we were pissed as hell about missing the playoffs for a no hitter by a guy who didn't even play for our team. Moral of the story....NHL playoffs > anything baseball related

I love the Tigers as much as the next guy, but this is playoff hockey. Game 7 no less. Do you honestly think FSD is gonna bump Game 7 for Tiger's game #21 of 162? Dan Dickerson and Jim Price do a fine job calling a Tiger's game if you don't have FSN plus.
