Join the Right Guard Protest

As a paid subscriber to MLB.TV Premium, Doc Gram is staging a protest aimed at Right Guard deodorant. It costs $19.95 per month to subscribe to MLB.TV Premium, which provides access to hundreds of MLB games over the Internet through a web browser. It's pretty damn cool to be able to watch the games online, but that's not what this is about.* This is about having to watch the SAME 15 second Right Guard commercial over and over and over and over again. Every time you click on a new game. For fantasy baseball managers, this can mean once every two minutes. And that's why Doc is mad at Right Guard. Hell, come up with ... I don't know... TWO commercials and run them alternately. It's the one you've seen on TV - where the couple is hiking and spots the serene scene of a deer grazing. The guy points it out, and suddenly the deer's eyes go red and he's foaming at the mouth, attacking. It was funny the first time. But not the second. And certainly not the 152nd. At this point, I'll take another round of that horrid Mellencamp Silverado commercial. Doc Gram has thrown out his stick of Right Guard in protest and plans to use in its place a mix of infield grass, persimmon and Wrigley Ivy extract. It may still stink and cause minor irritation, but at least he won't be paying for it. He encourages you to join the protest and invites suggestions on other ways to keep wetness and odor at bay. * if you don't mind paying $5 more than last year, just so you can finally be presented with video that is visible to the naked eye. Or the fact that a good portion of weekend games are blacked out when FOX has a national broadcast. Or the fact that MLB Mosaic has yet to live up to any of its promises of six games on a single screen, still sputtering pixels and malfunctions in its second season. Doc Gram still pays. Doc Gram is a sucker.
