Lkr Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 California would rather show the 3rd most popular team (who plays in their state) against their arch rival? Not surprising.so my point stands that only people in those immediate areas really care about this rivalry. the rest of us really couldn't care, and we would rather watch something else on TV. FOX Saturday Baseball will be Yankees vs Red Sox, ESPN Sunday Night Baseball will be Yankees vs Red Sox and ESPN Monday Night Baseball will be Yankees vs Red Sox. Quite honestly, I think I should be shown more than those 2 teams, because I wish both teams just didn't exist, primarily because of the national media attention they always get when there are other things going on.

Lkr Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 You realize how many people you are speaking for there, right?this is why people despise the east coast. they are so out of touch with the rest of the country. i'm sure if you did a poll of everyone not from the east coast, they would agree that they don't give a damn about this series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teletopez Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 (edited) so my point stands that only people in those immediate areas really care about this rivalry. the rest of us really couldn't care, and we would rather watch something else on TV. FOX Saturday Baseball will be Yankees vs Red Sox, ESPN Sunday Night Baseball will be Yankees vs Red Sox and ESPN Monday Night Baseball will be Yankees vs Red Sox. Quite honestly, I think I should be shown more than those 2 teams, because I wish both teams just didn't exist, primarily because of the national media attention they always get when there are other things going on.Wouldn't you also watch something else on TV if the Yankees were beating your Angels in an ALCS game 3-0 even though the Angels have plenty of time to make a comeback? And so what if the Yankees play the Red Sox plenty of times a year? That's what makes the rivalry so incredible. Time and time again, either the teams' pitching or their offenses start battling, and you can rarely say the game is over before it's actually over. --------- But back on topic, there was a lot to love about the game. Aceves continued doing what he did last year, and Joba showed some of his 2007-self with the high velocity and great break on his pitches. Rivera closed it out with little difficulty. Nick Johnson's excellent plate discipline gave us the lead, and Cano's red hot bat gave us an insurance run. Burnett stumbled, but he closed out his outing well.

Flash Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Didn't know the West Coast was the indicator of the entire countries feelings towards baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
