ESPN to change name of Baseball Tonight
ESPN, the Entertainment and Sports Programming Network, has decided to change the name of its nightly baseball news show, Baseball Tonight, amid user response for a "hipper and happier" title. After an internal vote it was decided that the new name would reflect both ESPN's desire for an acronym as well incorporate Baseball Tonight's historic strategy of repeating funny, one-line remarks over and over again, to the point of creating a cliche ad nauseum. The new name of Baseball Tonight will be FTHWOG! Tonight (pronounced: fthwog tonight). This historic new name incorporates ESPN's nightly baseball television show's ability to capture America with it rivoting announcement on each homerun highlight "Fill thy horn with oil (and) Go!"
The new show name is expected to satisfy the current ESPN audience with a hipper and happier title as well as draw millions of other viewers who will be simply overtaken by the intoxicating trademark yell, "Fill thy horn with oil (and) Go!" Just tonight, FTHWOG! Tonight labled no less than a dozen homerun shots as "Fill thy horn with Oil (and) Go!" shots! This new FTHWOG! monicker replaces several older and outdated homerun slangs, such as the more famous "Yardwork!" and "Deep and unplayable" and the lesser known "Baby's got bat!" and "Whoops, there it goes!". FTHWOG! Tonight is definitely a hit. Or, more accurately, FTHWOG! is a "Fill thy horn with oil (and) Go!" shot.
The name FTHWOG! Tonight will replace the name Baseball Tonight sometime tonight. If not tonight, then possibly tomorrow night which will be tonight tomorrow. Look for FTHWOG! Tonight nightly on your ESPN network.

What BBTN needs
They really need to bring back Harold Reynolds. Since he left, no one has stepped in to fill the void. Kruk just doesn’t cut it.
