• Despite their probably more compelling playoff implications, neither the Angels’ nor Giants’ games are particularly watchable tonight.
• On account of it would necessitate watching the Mariners and Cubs, is one reason.
• Another is how the author, personally, is Angels-ed and Giants-ed out at the moment.
• What’s that, my fourth-grade teacher Mrs. Terry? I can’t make a verb out of Angels and Giants?
• Sorry, lady. Appears as though I just did.

Diamondbacks television is fine, but if you can, spring for Diamondbacks radio. Greg Schulte is a quality play-by-play man, and Tom Candiotti is pretty insightful as a color guy. Although, if you want color, you can’t do better than Mark Grace on Diamondbacks TV.
