I don't mind Bonds getting attention, I was commenting on the way the announcers were droning on and on during the baseball game, forcing us to remain riveted to the TV in order to follow what was happening. I like to feel free to move about my house and still be able to keep up with what's going on with the game. And they were extremely soporific as well, as I found it hard to keep my eyes open while they spoke.
