What is wrong with this picture? ESPN annoys me

I know there aren't too many ESPN / BBTN fans out there, but I really have reached a breaking point.
First of all, it was the other night that I think Orestes Destrade called Hamilton "Jeff Hamilton." Destrade even talked about how he was a part of the Rays organization when Hamilton was there... I understand people misspeak sometimes, but this is supposed to be the premiere baseball program, on the premiere sports network. You can't make mistakes like that for a player that is killing the ball like Hamilton.
Then tonight, this comes up...
Tell me what's wrong with this picture?
I swear, if a team isn't from somewhere in the Northeast/Chicago or Southern California, ESPN just doesn't give a shit about them.
I should say, they did make a correction at the end of the show, but it just goes to show how little effort they put into doing a show. Honestly, how difficult is it to query your own organization's stats site to see how a player really ranks. Nope, let's just make it up. He has to be in first in all of those categories, there aren't any other teams but the Yankees, Red Sox and White Sox in the American League.

I know! I know!
I know! Is it that Hamilton is leading the league in RBI and it has Quentin leading?

Are you crazy?
The network that gave us the greatness that is “Who’s more now” blows?
You, good sir, do not know good sports television.

Hamilton was given his own league

Your BABIP regression is powerless against him!

Props to Brian Thomas
IIRC, he was the one suggesting that we should have targeted Quentin in the offseason. Arizona was down on him after an awful ‘07 and that would have been an excellent opportunity to capitalize. Obviously this is no longer a possibility.

I coveted Asdrubal Cabrera
early last year. I looked very smart last fall, not so much now…
...and curse Sir Walter Raleigh, he was such a stupid git.
