It's springtime.   NCAA Basketball and the Masters are over.   Hopefully, by June the NBA and NHL playoffs will be complete.

You know wha that means!

ESPN and FOX hire additional staffers, who have always lived in the New England/NY area, to talk about what they will force down the throats of sports fans for the next six months.  Yankees vs. Sox.

Here we go again.  Non stop, till the end of  World Series, it's SportsCenter, leading off with the lastest Jeter/A-Rod love triangle.   The crowd chants Jee-tuh, Jee-tuh, and on the network feed it's Alex crying and asking, "When will I be loved!"

FOXSports will fan the same flames, feeding us drivel about Dice-K and his translator's parallel parking issues.  Tim McCarver will rent a Kia or Hyundai and show us how to parallel park, all the while, talking down to the viewer.

Whatever the MLB network contract limit is for national telecasts of one team, rest assured that the Yankees will max it out, and a way will be found for every Yankees vs. Sox game to be broadcast nationally.

There are twenty something other MLB baseball teams out there, not counting KC; we don't hear about other teams, unless a player is busted for DUI or caught in a Yugo with a transvestite-midget-hooker-wrestler.(Thanks Eddie Murphy.)

The reality is that the majority of baseball fans don't care or are sick of  the Yankees and Red Sox.  Ever heard of over exposure?  Have you listened to an East Coaster complain about the starting time of West Coast games?  It's comical. "Cricket and I had to stay up till 2am to see the Yankees beat Seattle 27-0.  How do those West Coasties stay up so late?  Is it the coffee?  We watched Seinfeld during commercials."

It's humerous when any Red Sox fan mentions the unfairness of the Yankees payroll, which is the highest in the Western Hemisphere.   The Red Sox, historically, have the second highest.  Hey Boston, relocate and force reallignment!

Game on!

Make me pick a team and I'll cheer for Boston, every time, because they're not New York, home of the media and network control.

Calgon take me away!
