Baseball is an ugly time for me. 
@xtime=localtime(time);
$wday=$xtime[6];
$hours=$xtime[2];
$mins=$xtime[1];

if ($BASEBALL eq 'on'){$SIMPSONS eq 'not_on';}

if ($wday==0)&&($hours==20)&&($mins<30)&&($SIMPSONS eq 'not_on'){
     &flip_lid;
}

    This is something I'd love to sue Fox over. It makes me mad as hell they preempt regularly scheduled shows for some stupid "sports" event, with over-payed drugged-up wife-beating tobacco-spitting crotch-scratching morons chasing a ball around a field.

      Normally, me neither, though I do like Superbowl commercials, and I love watching the Olympics.

      I like Soccer and am very glad to have such a fun-to-play sport finally being taken seriously by citizens of the USA. We went to the Medal round for cripes sake. Ok I'm getting a little sentimental.

      Other than that... I don't care for most team sports... especially Baseball.

    MAN! Am I glad I'm not alone on this one!! The worst was on Monday when Fox pushed everything in the schedule up half an hour, but the TV guide didn't indicate it. I even checked because I KNEW B-Ball is on and the guide says Simpsoms at 7:30 as usual. So Iworked until 7:25, went and got a drink, sat down, turned on the TV just in time to see the credits...

    You think that's bad, *Futurama* was also MIA. Doesn't Fox start up with new seasons the first week of next month?

    The only time I have watched baseball on television, was when my home team
    (the Minnesota Twins, for the curious), actually made it to the World Series
    twice. Other than that, I really don't care.
