you know they could have covered a different game. it's espn, they can do anything.

 

this is newsworthy. You people are following the Cardinals game and talking about how they seem to not have their heads in the game, so if you think ESPN showing the game and talking about Hancock is pathetic, then you should probably stop talking about it too. But if you're interested in this game, don't you think other people are too?

 

I guess the major news networks shouldn't have covered 9/11, Katrina and the tsunami so thoroughly... after all, people died and they were making ratings money off those people.

 

Not to hijack our game thread - but I'd make the easy argument that us discussing it privately on the internet is NOT THE SAME as nationally televising it to millions of people.

 

It's a baseball game that was supposed to be aired anyway. People are always looking for reasons to complain about ESPN, and other media outlets for airing things. If people watch it, then it's worthy of being aired. You can't blame them for this.

 

sorry im a cubs fan... i didnt have my brewers pocket schedule to cross reference what station the game was susposed to be on. ..... dang rats scores,,, anyway.... if espn picked it up, its pretty classless imo... if they had the game on anyway... then I think its nice they are keeping it about hancock.

Oh, I definitely admit that I and others actively look for things to complain about with ESPN. No denying that.

 

But, here's the thing. I'm NOT watching it. I chose Fox over their broadcast because they're going to focus more on the game than the sensationalist drama which ESPN is going to handle quite well I'm sure.

 

My point is that Fox's local station, and the mothership ESPN, have different goals in airing this game. And that's why I give Fox a pass, and think ESPN is BS.

 

agreed this is why i turned the game off after seein how they are handling it..ill just get my updates online

Too many pitches early for Hill.

 

True, but 35 through 2 with the pitcher due to leadoff isn't unmanagable. If he gets through this inning with just 10 pitches, that's an average of 15 per, and a 7 inning/105 pitch outing. Pretty good.

 

58 thru 4 for Hill, not a bad pace.

[DiamondMind]

Adam Kennedy gets thrown out at 2nd by a good 10 feet. The announcers are trying to not rip the crap out of the Cards, but it's apparently getting hard not to.

[98navigator]

Aramis out 6-3
