I think that really crossed the line, and I blame this on the people producing the game as well. Look, we know the promos are lame. We know that Zooey Deschanel would not have been singing the anthem had this game been on any other television network. And if someone wants to show me a source that identifies Ms Deschanel as a huge baseball fan, I'll reconsider this. But I'd bet that she had a lot of other places she'd rather be than there. She was brought in to sing the anthem. She did that. She left after having made a reasonable length of appearance. For them to call her (and the casts) out for leaving early was a dick move. And not just that: a dick move in a taut, 2-2 ballgame. What were they trying to prove? If I represented, promoted, or was Deschanel, I'd be downright furious this morning. FWIW: Deschanel would tweet later, "Would have loved to have watched the whole game but I had to catch a plane so I can go to work tomorrow. That's all guys. I'm not a jerk." -- TV or Not TV ....
