Owners approve new TV contracts with lots of zeroes

The MLB owners approved the new TV deals with Fox and TBS that will run through 2013 and are valued at over $3 billion.

Or if you prefer $3,000,000,000.

But does that number look more impressive written out than $51,100,000 (the Daisuke Matsuzaka bid price by the Red Sox.)?

Any number looks impressive written out if you put your finger at the corner of your mouth and the camera zooms in on you.

Yay! 6 more years of Joe Buck.

Wait, not 'Yay.' What's the word...?

Oh yes: I mean "Booooo!"

I am in the process of clawing my eyes out. Seriously, is there no one who wants baseball more than FOX? FOX clearly hates baseball.

Is there some act of violence I could commit that would prevent this happening?
