From the Worldwide Leader in Sports comes yet another horrible, horrible idea. Baseball Tonight is celebrating the 100th anniversary of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" by having nine bands (we use the term quite loosely) record their own unique and personal version of the song which will then be put up to a vote to determine the winner of the battle of the bands. On Sunday's episode of the show, they couldn't find a real musician, so they just threw Peter Gammons in front of a camera and told him to sing. Don't believe us? Here's the old, wrinkled proof.

If you thought that the Ranger faithful got excited about Wednesday night's monumental 30-3 victory in which they rallied from a 3-0 hole, just wait until you get a load of Tim Kurkjian on Baseball Tonight. You can actually hear his inner prepubescent child cry out in elation.

Now, if we could just get Woody Paige to start showing a little on-air zaniness then we'd be set.
