Are They Singing the National Anthem before games?

Have I just been missing it, or maybe for some reason they're not televising it, but has anyone else noticed not seeing the first pitch being thrown out or the national anthem being sung before the recent division and league championship series on Fox or Fox HD?

But then we would miss out on the Wit and Wisdom of Buck and McCarver......and we can't have that.

It's sad enough the schedule says a game starts at 8:00, nd you tune in at 8:00 only to hear those two knuckleheads' drivel for the next 30 minutes, but to cut out the national anthem so they can make sure I have the name Cialis forever etched into my brain is just rot.

last night I was watching like the 10th Cialis commerical and I thought I heard them say "this way, you can let you partner know orally that you are ready" but I rewinded it and it really said "ONLY when you are ready"

too many of those damn commericals got me hearing things....
