Wanted: New ALCS Announcers

Is any Red Sox fan out there not way beyond annoyed with the Tampa Bay cheerleaders calling the ALCS games on TBS? I'd rather press the mute button and watch the games in total silence than listen to those biased buffoons bite their tongues trying not to yell "Go Rays" as they ooh and aah over the young upstarts' every move. They're *supposed* to be professionals--can't they tone their bias down a few notches? They're worse than Fox and Yankee-lovin' ESPN. On that note, what did the Red Sox do to piss off all national TV announcers? Maybe we Sox fans are spoiled by Remy and Orsillo, who at least make an effort to be evenhanded.

Which one of them can't pronounce Big Papi's last name? It's David Or-TIZ, not David OR-tiz. Just because Papi forgot how to hit doesn't mean the announcers have to butcher his name every time he comes up.
