MLB.TV Right Guard Commercials Are Very Stinky

One of the advantages of MLB.TV is that you can (presumably) switch quickly and easily between games (also that it's the only way you can watch out-of-market games unless you have DirecTV, because the MLB people are extremely greedy, mean, and full of boundless hatred for the people who love them).

So when the Padres aren't on, I like to bring up the live scoring of my fantasy game, and watch as many of my guys at bats as I possibly can. This year, that has become significantly more annoying.

New this year, every time you start watching a new game, you've got to watch a 15-second Right Guard commercial ... the same 15-second Right Guard commercial, every single time, where an idiot fights a deer, and then is impressed that his deodorant doesn't have him reeking like he just spent two weeks in the hole after a 1.5-second altercation with a deer.

Maybe I'm just being selfish, but I kind of feel like the $130 I paid for MLB.TV Premium should take care of that. I don't think that's asking too much. I paid for this product, it's not fair to make me watch a freaking commercial on top of that. 15 seconds every time doesn't sound like a big deal, but ... it's enough to make me miss an at-bat, and through the course of the season, all these 15-seconds are going to add up to hours. I could really use those extra hours to stick burning pins into the nipples of my Bud Selig voodoo doll.

So do me a favor, if you're out at a game today, and you see Bud Selig ... well, I'm advocating that you punch him in the stomach, but if you do, I'd very much like for us to be friends.
