15.2 is just slightly higher than the average Rose Bowl.

Which is pretty good for baseball.

You don't hear about it on ESPN because it's airing on a rival network.


I know for a fact that on Tuesday night (a potential clinch night), it was the #3 ESPN story behind the first FBS playoff rankings (on ESPN), and NBA opening night (on ESPN).

I just find that funny because Ryan Rusillo was ranting yesterday about people who think that ESPN's publicity decisions are based on the things that they have rights to and that these decisions are dictated by management.

Anyone who didnt watch Game 7 last night REALLY missed out.

I could care less who won between these 2 teams, and was still on the edge of my seat till the absolute very ending.

ESPN employees who say such things are just like lying politicians. The truth is obvious.

Yep, that was a great baseball game. It is what postseason baseball is all about.

In a way, he might be right. Management may not dictate content. Because at this point, they don't have to. It's been ingrained into their culture that what they have is more newsworthy than what they don't have, and nobody even questions it anymore or blinks an eye when it happens.

That's sad, really.

Or maybe that there are more CFB and NBA fans right now than MLB?

I watched maybe 5 MLB games all season. Thankfully, that one last night was one of them. What a finish.

That's a bunch of crap and we let ESPN get away with it. They invent news about popular things, such as the "unveiling" of the first playoff poll. Just like with Tim Tebow and Johnny Football. They're popular. They have big audiences. So is it really right that Johnny Football getting first team reps during training camp gets to be the top story of the day?
