    Re: ESPN Sucks Ass!

    ok, since you are not letting this go, let me show you a few things that ESPN does right, and all in this week's schedule:

    1) 3 NL teams and 5 AL are represented
    2) 8 teams total are represented
    3) All 5 games are played in different ballparks, giving 5 markets a chance to watch their team play at home on TV
    4) It's not ESPN's fault that the pitchers suck during the game. Here's an example: yesterday's Red Sox-Yankees game. Since you seem to be so hard over about how sloppy the pitching was, take a look at the matchup: Chien-Ming Wang, winner of 19 games the last 2 years and the Yankees ace vs. Clay Buchholz, the kid who threw a no-hitter in his second major league start. Don't blame ESPN for a bad pitching game, it's not their fault. They actually picked a game with a very good pitching matchup. In fact, the last time they met 5 days ago, Wang outdueled Buchholz and 2-hit the Sox in a complete game shutout.

    Before you refute my argument, i suggest you find yourself some facts, research, and data to back up whatever you say, lest you continue to look like a complete fool

    I love how I look like a fool for being pissed that ESPN blows the Red Sox and Yankees way too much since most baseball fans agree! I just love it!

    Yes, ESPN polls showed that BEFORE THE SEASON EVEN STARTED!!! They showed that last year too. Again, would you like me to do a poll here?

    No, the question will be "Does ESPN have too much coverage of the Yanks and Red Sox?"

    Arguing the ESPN overkill of Yankees and Red Sox games with Yankees and Red Sox fans is as pointless as arguing Barry Bonds and steroids with Giants fans, or arguing a salary cap with Yankees fans.

    I agree that ESPN coverage of sporting events really sucks, but I really think they are just a business trying to get the best rating possible. And by doing that they show the best premium game each time out and that is on most cases Redsox vs. Yankees games. People want to see that rivalry and in turn that gives huge ratings for ESPN. As for me I could really careless if ESPN covers the Redsox because I can get there games regardless, but they are just doing it for the ratings.
