White Sox Net: FAIL

I was perusing the renowned Detroit Tigers Weblog and came across an astute commenter’s image of a pretty big fail by the White Sox Net television crew.  After Marcus Thames hit a home run in the top of the 9th inning to break up the White Sox shutout, the Sox Net flashed across the screen that it was Marcus Thames’ first home run of his career.

Really!?

Normally, I would let this one go as it was Thames’ first home run of the season and people make mistakes.  However, due to the fact I have a general disdain for the obnoxious homer White Sox broadcasters, I figure why not take advantage of a pretty good opportunity to point out their, or their crew’s, failures. Put it on the board, yes!  You’re wrong and stupid.

For the record, the White Sox have seen Thames, who has 89 career home runs, in nearly 50 games throughout his career.  He has 11 career home runs against the White Sox, 7 of which come at Cellular.  That’s the second most career home runs Thames has against any team in the MLB and at any ballpark.  So it’s not like Marcus Thames is a mystery to the White Sox broadcast crew.
