Call it "television", which pretty much dictates all the recent idiotic decisions regarding the game to Selig and Co.
On this I can agree. I was getting disgusted with all the pre-game stuff that kept pushing back the first pitch. Start that stuff at 7:15-7:30 and have the first pitch no later than 8.
On a side note - I liked seeing all the HoF'ers at the positions, but I wasn't a big fan of introducing the all-stars by position. I really prefer announcing them by lineup, but that's just me.
