Game 5 of the ALCS on Thursday night was a pretty exciting game for fans of both teams, and interested observers as well. Of course, not everybody in the world has an attention span long enough to focus on a baseball game for too long without deciding they need the world to be paying attention to them.
When alcohol is introduced into the mix, it speeds up this process, and we end up seeing a situation like the one that occurred in the sixth inning last night. That's when an Angels fan decided to make his way into the waterfall/rock formation that is beyond the left-field wall in Angels Stadium.
The biggest surprise about all of this? FOX actually choosing to show all of this during the broadcast. The status quo has always been that when a fan runs out onto the field or interrupts play in anyway, the television networks covering the game don't show it on the air.
Something about encouraging people to be idiots, because apparently television thinks we need to be encouraged to act stupid. Also, that doesn't stop them from airing shows like The Hills. Which is really more dangerous to society?
I'd like to thank FOX for just this once, having faith in my sense of responsibility, along with everyone else who was watching the game last night. Not one of us has interrupted a baseball game since.

let me just say this what was a.j. doing out there in the bottom of the 7th inning after that long inning when the yanks tied it up. what was joe thinking . that two games he has lost now in this playoffs way to go joe. i say he has no skills . get rid of him this off season weayher the yanks win or lose.
wolf; are you crazy. AJ pitched 5 great innings and only had 80 pitches up to that point. When the tying run got a walk to get on base Joe pulled him for Marte who gave up a run but got 2 outs in the process which Girardi then brought in his ace Phil Hughes who had Vlad with a 1-2 count and just had him swing at a wicked curve ball for the 2nd stike then the brainless Posada instead of setting up for a throw away breaking pitch low and away to try to get him to chase he instead decided to call for a fastball down the middle to a fastball hitter thats what lost the game. I hate the fair weather fans out there like you that know nothing about the game that comeon here to spout their stupid opinions.
Brainless Posada? Your the one who is brainless. Hughes admitted that Posada wanted another curve and he SHOOK HIM OFF for the fastball! Hughes made that call not Posada! Looks like you know as little as these "fair weathers" you hate.
Who cares? Baseball takes forever and the excitement turns to boredom. It is turning into a cricket match these days.
here's a clue for you baseball elitist know it alls like psu74. not alot of people really care. football is king, bubba.
