“From Shilling To Schilling”

I don’t often find myself in agreement with Tim McCarver, but the FOX color man hit the nail right on the head tonight with the quote above after his network hijacked coverage of Game 2 in the World Series to bring you an extended commercial message from Taco Bell.

It was bad enough when after Jacoby Ellsbury stole second base in the fourth that Joe Buck had to interrupt the game to let everyone know that Taco Bell would be giving away a free taco to everyone in America, but then the following inning FOX cut away from the action to run a tape — which looked obviously staged — of another BoSox player telling Ellsbury about the promotion.

BUT THEN they cut away AGAIN to Ken Rosenthal in the stands with the Taco Bell COO — who just so happened to be at the game — so he could do a little pitch for the fast food chain.

Sweet Jebus, it makes you think the whole game was rigged just so Taco Bell could do its little commercial promo.
