Actually WGN just shows games not to usually conflict with when Cubs games are being played at the same or similar time (not sure who gets priority). I believe that the White Sox Network is ultimately controlled by the people at Comcast as most of the games are shown there.

TV bobbleheads are required to be professional? Who knew? ;)

This is something all leagues do a terrible job with that is starting to be addressed. All sports should have regional rules seminars that broadcasters are required to attend. In the Santana no-hitter, the Cardinal announcer was mentioning whether the Beltran line drive went over the bag or not, which is immaterial. In addition, all sports, on their websites should have places where misunderstood rules and their applications are discussed with videos where people can understand not only the rules, but their accepted applications. The NBA does that with their video rule book.

For those of you with selective memory, what Harrelson did was tame compared to Marty Brennaman's rant against Dave Pallone in 1988.

Brennaman's punishment: The Ford Frick Award in 2000

Is it selective or many might not even know of what you are talking about? Honestly at this moment I have no idea who Marty Brennaman is (before Googling his name).

I was listening to the game that night. Before that, I couldn't remember Marty complaining about umpires very often. These days, it seems like he's complaining about the umpires about every other inning. Maybe he was always that way and I was just too young and naive to know better.
