The $$$ talk can wait until November.

A wise friend writes:

I wasn't watching baseball when this arrived, so I have no idea which broadcast or broadcaster inspired this. Which means this isn't a criticism of any particular broadcast or broadcaster. It's just a considered preference: Cut it out, guys.

Every single person watching the broadcast knows that good major-league baseball players don't have to worry overly much about making their house payments. And in November, there will be plenty of rumors and news stories about who's signing where, and for how many millions.

I don't know about Miles Davis. But if you gotta fill up the space between pitches, there's gotta be something to talk about other than a player leaving his current team and breaking a few hearts along the way.
