Apparently, if there are ten hockey games on at a time, I don't get to see the Red Sox. Extra Innings has ten channels available for baseball. These are the same ten they use for hockey. I guess hockey takes precedence. Did you know that my digital cable has over a thousand channels? And that many of these have nothing on them? With all the money we're all spending on these packages, do you think they could afford to buy, or even rent for the night, a few more channels? Are there people working on this problem? Do they think we won't notice? Here's the plan I'm proposing. Tomorrow, everyone kidnap and tie up one businessperson or executive. (You may even find one in your own office!) Don't kill them, just don't allow them to have any food or water indefinitely. The world will instantly become a better place.

I fully blame this on the Jays' six-run second.

As I wrote that sentence, a commercial for the package came on, and the tagline was "We're on your team." I think they're betting on the other team, though.
