WTF this show just asserted that geronimo's apaches played a game of baseball against the us army (and won)??? i cant find anything about this online. there was a olde tymey picture of some indian ass dudes wearing APACHE uniforms tho so i guess it must be true.
also there was just a commercial for the home run derby, which seems retarded to me if you already know who won, it's not like something like a dunk contest where the spectacle of the dunk is an inherently exciting thing to behold
also the graphics on this shit are like some local news broadcast, when i saw an ad for the hot stove show out of the corner of my eye i thought it was a preview of the 11 o clock news

Former Red Sox first baseman Sean Casey is officially retiring, having signed on with the MLB Network. Casey, The 34-year-old, who played in 69 games with Boston last season, hitting .322, finishes his 12-season career with a .302 lifetime batting average to go along with three All-Star appearances. Casey’s role with the network has yet to be defined.

Al Michaels and Bob Costas are doing the Mets vs. Giants game tonight at 7PM.
The first three innings will be fairly basic, with Costas calling the first inning and a half and Michaels the next inning and a half. They'll speak directly to fans of both teams by switching to SportsNet New York's booth for the fourth and fifth innings before taking over ComCast SportsNet Bay Area's broadcast for the sixth and seventh innings (Krukow and Kuiper will handle MLB Network duties during that span). Then it's back to the MLB Network telecast for both Michaels and Costas.
