I don't know why Baseball has their championship series on such a poor excuse for a network. I couldn't believe this last night. They didn't even have anyone explaining what had happened. They had a sitcom on and every once in awhile a crawl would appear. :rolleyes:

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - TBS had technical difficulties that prevented it from showing live coverage of the first 20 minutes — and the first home run — of Game 6 of the American League championship series between Boston and Tampa Bay on Saturday night.
The game started at 8:08 p.m., but the broadcast didn't begin until 8:28 p.m., when Carlos Pena, the seventh batter of the game, walked in the bottom of the first. TBS then showed a replay of a home run by B.J. Upton, the previous batter, that put the Rays ahead 1-0.
"Two circuit breakers in our Atlanta transmission operations tripped, causing the master router and its backup — which are necessary to transmit any incoming feed outbound — to shut down," TBS spokesman Sal Petruzzi said in a statement.
