For some odd reason, the first game of the 103rd World Series was not broadcast last night. ESPN radio was doing its job well enough, but someone in the TV business really dropped the ball, as they say.
As I desperately looked for a channel - any channel of my 500+ channels - which was broadcasting this important game, I caught a quick commercial on FSN that I shouldn't miss "the first game of the 2007 World Series tomorrow, Thursday Oct 25.". I was like, WTF? Thurs is game 2!
Now, granted, it probably wasn't the worse thing to miss this game. It was a Boston bonanza at Fenway, but nonetheless it was still one of the last games this year. Some of us start to go into baseball withdrawal in October.
Memo to the suits at FSN and ESPN: stop showing us crap like 'Ruffian' and 'High school football' when you could be showing us historic Fenway park where the best of the best are playing the greatest game ever played. You've got an obligation to bring us our American pastime, a part of our cultural identity for the last 100+ years.
