After watching a pre-season game with the Astros today, I had the same mixed feelings I always get. I love the Astros and appreciate seeing most of their games. However, to think about having to sit thru another season on senseless sidebars WHILE the game in in progress. I do not tune in to watch a sports TALKSHOW. I DO tune in to watch a game and not to listen to a lot of human interest stories which are never very interesting anyway. This is an insult to your listeners....let us watch the game and when we have an urge to listen to a sports talk show, we have lots of options. Have your directors and broadcasters listen to Vin Scully and learn how to broadcast a game, not turn it into a talk show. My cure is simple...everytime Jeanie or Janie or whoever starts to interview fans, I hit the mute button. Then you keep the camera on here while the game is going on. Stop it! Broadcast the game professionally.
