Or if you're in Northern California, it's the Raiders-49ers.

Probably. It's the Cowboys game. I had tix, but didn't want to go to a preseason game.

 

Romo looking efficient so far.

[St.Paul Cub]

We've got cops on Fox in MN.

 

Of course we got Detrot vs NYY instead of St. L-Chicago. I hate Fox.

[J.R.]

This isn't so much a FOX Sports problem as it is a FOX entertainment/affiliates problem. The locals and suits in central command have sold spots for primetime stuff, and no one outside the primary markets wants to sacrifice that to keep the games on.

 

This has been the case for network regular season games for at least the last 30 years.

it was on the page before this one.

[SouthSideRyan]

High School Musical 2 isn't nearly as good as the original.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I'm not sure who's smaller, Eckstein or Martin Grammatica.

I understand what you're saying, but it still sucks... what do I want to watch more?? Redneck trailer-trash spouses fight and made look like jackarse idiots; or the end of a pennant-race MLB game??

 

*deeeeeeeeeeep sigh*

I'm pretty sure every single player on my high school's team is bigger than grammatica. And we have a really small team.

[SouthSideRyan]

It's Pigs!!

[Omar]

Piggy in for Howry. Hopefully he can work faster than Bob.

[J.R.]

Piggy coming in.

[Alfonso Soriano]

Pignatello is coming in!!!

Are you kidding me?

[Dirt Dog Sparly]

Tarp coming off the field according to XM's feed.

Are the Lady Pigs there?

[Omar]

Stadium is empty. 40%-50% of the fans left, it looks like.

[CubsBears29]

2 on, no outs for Reds in top 4; 1-0 count on whoever's up
