My one big complaint about ESPN.....

[Tommy_Carcetti]

They need to show more highlights of the Yankees, Red Sox, Mets and Cubs!

Sure, the other 26 teams in Major League Baseball get all the attention, but I never, ever see any highlights or games featuring the Yankees, Red Sox, Mets or Cubs!

It's like these teams never existed!

[charlie and algernon]

1. I know, seriously

you'd think ESPN was the Twins' official broadcastor.

[KitchenWitch]

8. Hey, ESPN aired TWO Twins games in a row last week!

:D

[charlie and algernon]

10. see, that just proved my point

when was the last time ESPN show an entire Red Sox, Cubs, Yanks, or Mets series?

[KitchenWitch]

11. Those poor folks in the northeastern region of our country.

They must have to actually GO to games to see them.

[charlie and algernon]

13. i know, right

you'd never know the yanks and sox had a rivalry unless you actually went to a game.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

16. Weren't they playing the Red Sox though?

Orioles crush the Yankees 12-2 last night and the game only goes to the top of the highlights because A-Rod is back from an injury and hit a homerun.

And the O's sweep the Red Sox last week and the big story from that series was that Manny Ramirez made a catch and then ran up a wall and high fived a fan.

[KitchenWitch]

17. Yes, that was my backwards way of making the point of this thread.

I was being sarcastic

[Tommy_Carcetti]

18. Opps. Sorry.

Given that my OP was sarcastic too, I should have picked up on it better. :shrug:

[KitchenWitch]

19. LOL

I do stuff like that too.

[City of Mills]

2. Jon Lester threw a no-hitter the other night

Where's the news coverage??? :shrug:

[edbermac]

3. The have no chess coverage as well.

Look at that action!

[charlie and algernon]

4. yeah, but they do have the Rock Paper Scissors championships

I'm one hundred percent serious about that. I saw it on one afternoon. They were talking about the great strategy involved. :rofl:

[petronius]

6. At least they've stopped showing poker every single day of the week,

and have cut back to only 10-12 hours per week.

Congress really needs to get on the ball and pass legislation defining 'sports.' What do we pay those people for? :shrug:

[madinmaryland]

14. NBC now has two hours of poker on Saturday and Sunday afternoons

in HighDef no less.

:wtf:

[petronius]

22. WTF indeed - why would anyone spend 4 hours over a weekend

watching other people play cards? It boggles the mind...

[madinmaryland]

5. They had Outdoor Bowling last weekend.

Two lanes on the beach in southern california, i think.

Strange.

[underpants]

7. I happened upon that

as I was looking for something to doze off in a nap to.... too exciting (might keep me up you know) so I switched over to a baseball game

[Tommy_Carcetti]

9. Was it on the Ocho? nt

[KG]

12. yankees got highlights?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

21. Didn't you see?

A-Rod came back!

And he hit a two-run homerun!

Oh yeah, and some team from Baltimore beat them 12-2! But forget about that! The important thing is that A-Rod hit a homerun!

Now, let's talk about the game after the Red Sox threw a no-hitter! Because the game after a no-hitter is always big news!

[texas1928]

15. My biggest complaint...

Do they have to go to commercial every 5 god damn minutes?

[Captain Angry]

20. I stopped watching them a long time ago.

They decided that 6 hours of poker was more interesting than giving hockey fans an hour of information about the games around the league. NHL2Night was the only place you could get information about the whole league instead of homers talking solely about the home team.

It's like the Denver radio stations when the Avs moved there. And... in sports... the Broncos were idle. (this in March, after a major Avs win).
