Did you see it?

BJ Upton just hit another home run and the Rays are leading the Red Sox in Game Six of the ALCS....Oh, that's right. TBS is having technical difficulties. The Steve Harvey Show is on right now.

NOTE: I reserve the right to take down the snark on this post if something serious knocked the broadcast off the air.

UPDATE: Snark will stay. It may even ramp up a bit.

The reason
Game 6 of the American League Championship Series started without a nationwide television broadcast on Saturday, as TBS experienced power-related transmission problems.

TBS officials informed Major League Baseball that it was working to correct a "router failure" that had created the issue. The failure occurred in the moments leading up to the broadcast of the game between the Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays and has been traced to ongoing power problems in Atlanta, where Turner Broadcasting Systems is based.
"Router failure"? That's okay. It's not like baseball fans across the country were tuning in to watch this game.
