For us fans of any team or just of the sport, the worse thing we will have to endure is the television coverage and reporting of the games. The TV media as a whole has turned sports into an entertainment, self-promotional platform. Most of the time the game is secondary.

Things we will have to endure:
- Tim McCarver's over-analysis of every pitch, twitch and hitch (not to mention his underlying hatred of the Yankees.)
- Replay, after replay, after replay, with reverse angle, super-slow motion, helmet cam, ump cam, bleacher cam, popcorn vendor cam.....
- The constant repetition of "this could be Roger Clemens last start."
- Close up of Joe Torre's nose hair
- the innane statistic: "he's batting .333 against lefties, with runner's in scoring position, during day-games when the sun is shining, with less than two-outs, after two day's rest on artificial turf with his team ahead by more than two runs."
- Camera shots of Derek Jeters parents, or Roger Clemens wife, or Manny Ramirez's hair stylist.

I think I'll watch the Godfather Trilogy
