But the Angels' pitching is just awful; their ace, Eli Grba, couldn't pitch batting practice...
...become even stiffer unless U.S. broadcasters buy more British programs. Just as the foreign market has long since become the profit margin for Hollywood movies, the British rerun is sometimes the difference between profit and loss for U.S. programs.
