The Giants are down 3-1 in the bottom of the 7th...(Not a great situation, but certainly not out of reach with two more at at bats coming)
And then we get a rain delay in St. Louis....and it looks like it could be a while...(at least now in post season play you're required to play all nine innings; no more playoff wins in less than nine innings due to a rain cancellation...if they can't resume play that day, they'll finish it the next, before they start the next game)
Well the weather here currently is kick ass gorgeous, (we're getting our few days of our annual Indian Summer...I'm going to fire up the 'cue in a little while...) so I figure this would be a great time to take the doggies and The Little Prince down to our neighborhood park...
So we have a nice little outing, the dogs run, the kid runs, we feed the ducks...
We're gone a little over an hour, and the game hasn't resumed yet....
That's okay, from the storm system on the radar, it looked like it would take awhile....
But here's the really annoying part....
Rather than stay with the announcers or run some sports highlight thing, or something else appropriate....
They went back to regular programming until play resumes....
Which in this case means Dr. Oz.... (My first clue that something was seriously amiss was when I turned the set on and was greeted with a douching product commercial....don't see a lot of those during your average baseball game....)
The Queen Mum loves this clown, but I find him to be an insipid, condescending know-it-all; all things being equal, I wouldn't have his show on for 10 seconds....
But if I turn this jackass off, I could very easily miss the last of the game....
