Look, things happen. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, and assume that there was nothing they could have done to prevent the outage. What I find inexcusable is that it took them 10-15 minutes to even put a message on TBS explaining that they were experiencing technical difficulties. We're all scrambling around trying to figure out why we're seeing a sitcom instead of the first inning of ALCS game 6.

I have to believe the best commentary on the situation came from Tom Caron on NESN on the post-game show: "For those of you who missed the end of the Steve Harvey show... the family all learned a valuable lesson."

Anyway, TBS's coverage sucks, but it turns out: it's better than nothing.
