Primetime crept from 7 to 830 in the last few years. It sucks for the east coast

I'm jealous of your sports schedule. Football starts at 10 am while you're eating your cheerios and ends by 8 pm, leaving you free to watch a movie before bed. Monday night games are waiting when you get home from work. Same for baseball.11 pm+ end times suck. I guess you wouldn't know.

Yes, "time" sure is baffling.
When they spend the next couple decades spending 90% of the time talking about westeast coast teams then give one or two minutes of a 30 minute show to a few west coast teams, lemme know.

edito: i fucked up the east/west thing.

You base your east coast bias logic on sportscenter? Besides, what percentage of teams are west of the Rockies?

ALL media does it. The east coast bias is so strong, to deny it is kind of absurd. And that goes for all sports.

Well, your games end after midnight, what do you expect?

So you're agreeing that there is east coast bias? I wasn't just talking about baseball. It goes from college through every sport. I think defending an east coast bias on account of the time difference is just plain silly.

It's a business. All sports news companies care about making money, not about sports.

wikipedia wrote:
Fox Sports sportscaster Joe Buck attributes the shift to the economics of running a business. "If you think there is a perceived East Coast bias, guess what? You're right. That's where people are watching, that's where the numbers are."

So when the games start late for east coast geriatrics, it's because the broadcasting companies make more money that way, not because they care that the sport is portrayed fairly.

I fail to see how showing only half a game to the east coast viewers is beneficial to advertisers. Only the most hardcore of fans are going to watch the 2nd half of Sunday Monday and Thursday night games. Same goes for late baseball. Last night's mets game ended at 11, which isn't terrible, but game 1 went until 1 am.

sorta wanted texas to win that series just cause I like fielder and beltre. they seem like cool guys.

The rule states the ball was live and he would have scored anyway, but I understand being mad at calling the play dead only to have it have been live. If Donaldson had been close to picking it up and decided against it because it was called dead THEN they called odor safe, THAT would have been chaos. But in the end the jays won so who cares.
Also i wanted to see the pitcher chirping at the batter then the benches clear. Also the 3 errors. I'll see them somewhere (likely everywhere) later tonight.

Kinda like how no one tagged Utley because he was already called out. They really need to work the kinks out of replay.
