Tick Tick Boom (Memo to ESPN2)

This has been a bee in my bonnet for a while now: is it really necessary for ESPN2 to run that annoying update zipper at the bottom of the screen at ALL times–even when a historic moment might be in the offing? They did this earlier in the year, when Barry was going for no. 660, and they let it run again last night when he was aiming to homer in his 8th straight game. I really don’t need to see the Colorado Avalanche injury report while Barry shoots for history. My A.D.D. isn’t that bad.
