I hate the ads. Here in Cleveland when the Indians play I always have to switch to something else for an inning or two when the ads for local hospitals and "cancer centers" come up.

We have suffered too much heartache in my family because of that disease that begins with the letter "C". I'm sure as $%#@ not going to look at the word while I'm watching Lindor batting or Kluber pitching. It drives me absolutely crazy.

Ditto for the TV ads during Indians and Cavs games. The Cleveland Clinic has been running a really obnoxious ad campaign for years. Smiling doctors, smiling, bald-headed chemo patients. I always keep the remote handy and switch when the commercials come on. Sometimes I just turn to European soccer and forget about watching my local sports teams.
