Why doesn't ESPN just call themselves the official channel of the Yankees and Red Sox?
Question:I mean, they won't show any other team unless they're playing against the Yankees or Red Sox.
Answers:
All the time on SportsCenter it's: And we'll bring on baseball anaylst Steve Phillips to see how the Yankees/BoSox can improve this offseason. They are not the only 2 teams in the league! It may be the best rivalry in sports and it is convenient 2 of the most popular teams in the country are near Bristol, but there are many teams with a huge fanbase that never get diddly squat: I see Braves fans all over the country and the L.A. and Chicago teams never get anything. Milwaukee has one of the most loyal fan bases and just because they are mediocre team (well recently, they should have a huge year this year) they get no national coverage as well.
It's almost as bad as the Chicago Tribune NEVER talking about the White Sox. That is why myself and many other Sox fans call the paper the Chicago Cubune. Maybe we should rename ESPN: Especially for Sox and Pinstripes Network (ya that acronym was weak but best I got).
ESPN is simply ridiculous. And for the guy above me who said this is not true because there is no baseball in winter that is totally BS because there is not one day either of these teams get mentioned SOMEWHERE in SportsCenter or Sports Reporters/Arount the Horn/P.T.I./ something! Ridiculous...
How many hit will it take for Houston # 7 to get 3000 hits?
they don't want to admit it. but not hard to notice. Also they have their corporation building between boston, and new york.I don't recall people making that big of a deal when Clemens signed with the Astros.?
That's not true. They showed the Cardinals and Mets last night. They will feature other teams as well as the season goes along.The Yankees draw a lot of viewers with their gala of stars.
The Red Sox are getting a lot of attention because of Daisuke Matsuzaka.
Add these two together and you have most of the baseball world watching.
Question about softball rules - Would this count as an out?
Because Yankees official channel is the YES Network and i believe Red Sox is NESN, not sure about them though.Is there big money in Japanese Baseball? What is the top salary of any player?
Because of copyright laws. They would be stupid not to show those teams as often as they can, they get(by far) the best ratings. Also they are generally 2 of the best teams playing.How has the best record between the Mets and the Yankees ?
Uhh 100% wrong there little buddy. Yankees and red sox both have their own networks. rarely do they play on espn. even if they do its gets blacked out on espn. Yankees(who suck by the way) have YES and the sox(who rules by the way) have nesn.Why are outdoor softballs not soft?
Thats true.The Red Sox and Yankees are the 2 most popular teams in the country so ESPN figures they can make a lot of money by showing them instead of the Indians and Blue Jays or some not as popular teams.So for ESPN highest ratings for the games=more money.Where can I buy Softball cleats in the UK?
It is sad really, isnt it? Both teams are only good cause of the money. Baseball has been a scam on the American public for years. They both SUCK.As a general manager (not manager) did Tommy Lasorda kill the Dodgers?
I thought I was the only one who noticed thatthey are totally unreliable and a waste of time unless you feel like waiting 2 hours until "baseball tonight" is almost over to catch a two second clip of how your team did. I am starting to hate watching that channel!!
Good Call by far :)
*By the way they showed the same clip on how well the Yankees and Red Sox will do this year ALL WEEK, I'm sick of it
Where i can watch philidaelphia phillies games live online for free?
because why would they call it the channel of the yankees and the red sox if during the winter baseball isnt even onARGGGH me matey...how bout them Pittsburgh Pirates!?
those are the teams that proboably give the stations more ratings, which means more money. If the Devil Rays or Pirates , for example, are on, how many viewers do you think there would be, compared to The Red Sox or Yanks playing. I bet its a big difference.Just for the sake of argument?
Tell me about it. I'm an A's fan and I'll watch Sportscenter to see A's highlights if I've missed the game. I'll see about 10 mins. of highlights and talk of how the Yankees and Red Sox are so great. Then I get to see 1 or 2 A's highlights and the score. And that's it! What the hell?Why do the Los Angels Angels not show up on my scoreboard even though they are a selected team?
im not a fan of the yanks or the sox, but they are the most high profile teams in baseball so it seems right for them to get the most coverage. espn wants viewers and the average viewer wont sit through an hour of royals/pirates talk.More Questions & Answers...
