This leads to way more gambling on football, as well as more casual fans being able to follow and participate in fantasy football and office pools. Baseball has lost the casual fans to football. But, as Craig pointed out a few days ago, I’d much rather listen to the Pixies than Creed.

This would dilute the quality of teams that make the playoffs, thus leading to greater competitive balance and more dramatic matchups.

I’m actually glad ESPN doesn’t spend every second of the day analyzing baseball. Leave that to favreball, I mean, football.

The Ratings, oh my gawwwd, think of the ratings…… Ugggh, they might just be the lowest ratings ever…. The HORROR!!!!

Can someone explain to me why this matters? Just kinda curious. Because it is mentioned every single day by someone. And unless you have major shares of Fox in your portfolio, I fail to see why anyone would give a damn.

Since then, every team that’s been ahead by the 6th inning has gone on to win the game.
