I believe we can all agree that the playoff push, then the playoffs and finally the World Series is the best baseball we can possibly see.

With that being said, how in the bloodly blue hell can the geniuses at Fox not be showing both of the games on Wednesday. This may be the first you have heard of this, I don't know, but they are planning on show both games at 8 pm (or 8:20 or 8:30) on a regional basis. How can they do this?

I know that the Yankees/Red Sox will be a good ball game, have a great rivalry and all that stuff, but I am a National League fan and would much rather see the Braves/Astros vs. Cardinals than the AL match up. However, the powers that be here locally are showing the ALCS. I have even called a couple of sports bars and they say that they can only show what is being offered locally. Sounds like a pile of hog wash to me, but I have gotten that from two different establishments.

Why not have one of the games played at 4, or let FX show a game (Fox owns them too), or even ESPN?

Personally, I think this is a bull crap decision but they are planning to do it. Sound off, call Fox, e-mail Fox, c'mon guys raise some hell. This isn't right!!!

Sorry if this rose anybody's blood pressure, including my own. Received an email back from Fox and they are now planning on showing the "other" game on Fox Sports Net. While it is still a pile of crap not to stagger the start times, at least we have a choice.

Thanks for the support and sorry about the blood pressures.

Now if we can only do something about McCarver!!!

The one thing about Jack's is that there are people here that are willing to help. Now it is obvious that Kono22 was not raised on a farm :D or he would not have made such error in describing the problem. Being raised on a farm, I and several others here at Jack's know that hog wash does not come in piles but bullshit does. Even tho Fox has tried to lessen the problem it seems to me they came up with a chickenshit solution.

You would think I would have something better to do today but I don't. Good luck to us tonight.
