If it's Sunday and the Red Sucks are playing the Yank This, then you know what the Sunday night game of the week is going to be. Yep, it's New York at Boston.
But, ESPN please explain why. These teams have been on numerous times this year and neither is in first place. No, that honor belongs to the Tampa Bay Rays. In addition there were more attractive match ups of better teams. The Marlins played the Cubs and the Braves played the Phillies. Both games are better match ups of teams that are in first place or contending for first place.
The reason they are on again is ratings generated by the two huge television markets. And that corresponds directly to dollars. So, the rest of us that live west of the Hudson River, are once again stuck watching these two teams play in prime time.
