Fox and Friends, Please Stop Talking About Baseball

Fox and Friends is a show that has been reduced to nothing more than a clip producer for The Daily Show With Jon Stewart, but at least they've dabbled in areas that I have a passing interest in but don't care a ton about like politics and Hooters. They shove vacuum cleaners in babies faces and once in a while compare Jimmy Buffett to Hugo Chavez. They even compared themselves to being the President once (and got an awesome reaction from Mr. Stewart). Hardy har har. Now, though, they've inserted themselves into the role of baseball experts. Screw you, Fox and Friends (if the video doesn't work on the blog, click here to watch it):



Yuck, yuck, yuck. I mean the assumption is not one that most of America hasn't made already, but them doing it makes it even more annoying in my book. It, of course, has nothing to do with teams focusing more on defensive efficiency and sacrificing offense or teams focusing on developing young pitching or better advanced scouting or any one of the myriad of choices out there (Baseball Prospectus' Jay Jaffe had some ideas, too). Call of the search, though: it's steroids. Thank you, Fox and Friends, for solving that mystery and making us all dumber in the process. What can I truly expect, though, from the same parent company that still employs Tim McCarver?
