Bottom Bitches Buck and McCarver
It's not difficult to see that baseball is a very corrupt sport. The past 15 years or so have seen the business of baseball increase it's profitability but at the same time become increasingly unfair and less scrupulous. In some way, you can't blame them. By the early 1990s, other pro and college sports were taking huge market share away from MLB. Football with it's violence, rah rah! mentality and easy to insert advertising model was becoming even more popular. Meanwhile, inner city kids were getting even less access to the game as those communities became even poorer, resources were even less and baseball fields were just places were yuppies in new condos took their dogs to crap. The only sport they knew was basketball and they eagerly went out and paid $150 for a pair of Jordon sneakers that cost 75 cents to make in some sweatshop in Indonesia.
Well, by the mid 1990s something started to be done to make this old game more profitable. Bud Selig inserted himself as commissioner so he and his crew of corporate gangsters could really start making some money off this bitch. Already armed with antitrust exemption and the MLB logo of legitimacy, they made some major changes. These changes like division realignment and revenue sharing pretty much made it all but a given that we'd see the Yankees or Red Sox in every damn World Series and once competitive franchises like the Pittsburgh Pirates and Kansa City Royals downgraded to pretty much farm clubs off whom the Yankee or Red Sox could pluck a player if they needed. The owners of these smaller market teams aren't complaining cause with Revenue Sharing, if the Yankees win and Fox Sports wins, then everybody wins, well the owners at least.
So it's no surprise that Fox sportscasters Joe Buck and Tim McCarver are pulling for the Yankees as they are supposed to do. But do they have to make it so obvious? Every time a strike is called on a Yankee on a pitch that may have been a ball, they replay it a hundred times and they make it sound like a major atrocity. When a questionable call is in favor of the Yankee, we're lucky if we see one replay and Buck and McCarver hardly say a word. Old crank Tim McCarver expresses total disgust for "cheaters" like Barry Bonds but when A-Rod(one of the biggest steroid users) hits one out, McCarver blushes "aint he something!" McCarver who is always criticizing some for dirty plays, chuckled when A-Rod ran out of the base path and tried to knock the Angels shortstop into center field.
Meanwhile Joe Buck just rambles on and on about what a 'fine' 'class act' organization the Yankees are but seems to forget that the top steroid users Roger Clemens, Jason Giambi, Andy Petite and A-Rod juice for them. Joe Buck gushes about what a gamer Petite is but when Pedro Martinez strikes out Derek Jeter they deduce that the only way someone could strike out someone as talented and handsome as Jeter is by quick pitching him. Even when Jeter bunts himself out, McCarver can only say "Jeter is far too good a hitter to be bunting."
It's become clear to me that MLB is using everything it can to make sure the Yankees get to the World Series. The Yankees do what they want with impunity. They construct this new stadium which is pretty much a glorified Wiffleball park where every ball hit to right-center has chance of being a homer but that's ok cause that's were Jeter hits em. Then they steal signs like crazy. Many times it looks like a Yankee KNEW THAT PITCH WAS COMING and it turns out they did. Former Yankee coach Larry Bowa admitted this. But it doesn't matter cause the Yankee are all just "pride" and "tradition."
So......while this goes on, Buck and McCarver will just cheer and praise the Yankee. A good bottom bitch will do and say anything for her daddy.
