FOX coverage is horrible! They missed the homerun for a commercial!

I caught the home run here, but just barely.

FOX has been cutting the commercials close throughout this series! It is annoying. You think the announcers would at least apologize for it!

I do not hit them in the gap
I do not hit them in my cap
I do not hit them worth a damn
I do not hit them, Hamm I am
