1-800-54 GIANT

Yesterday the Red Sox played a double header and I quit listening to the game in the 5th inning. They were winning, but I couldn’t take the WEEI broadcast as the annoying gaps of silence had returned. I had kept the nice email from MLB.com customer support that said, “Good deal, keep us updated please!” after we had solved this very issue just a week ago, so I let them know I wasn’t happy again.

I don’t know if my email had anything to do with it, but when I checked in on the second game towards the end, the gaps were gone. And so far tonight they have not reappeared.

Last year on WEEI and on most MLB.com broadcasts this year you get silence between innings. But this year I get to hear the commercials. I don’t really mind too much as it makes you think you are really listening to the games on radio, not the internet. One of the commercials I hear a lot while listening to the Sox games on WEEI is, “Who do you call when your windshield’s busted? Call 1-800-54 GIANT! Giant Glass.”
