So I'm watching the Giants play Atlanta

Is there anything in major league sports stupider than this chanting and tomahawk shit?

to the Atlanta Rednecks. That's all they are.

I really enjoyed watching my Marlins sweep them this week. Now we're working on the Dodgers.

They won! I agree, on the radio, it was annoying to listen to.

At least on television you can still follow the game.

I totally DESPISE that fucking tomahawk chant.

so the mute button isn't really an option for me. When we have an occasional game broadcast on Fox Sports with Joe Buck announcing I will mute it and listen to local radio coverage. I'm 100 miles away from the station though, so reception is iffy sometimes.
