The MLB Playoff Push Is Upon Us
Wednesday, September 23, 2009
Near the end of every Baseball season, networks scramble to pick up some of the games in the Playoff race, and this year is no different. We saw some of it last weekend, but the real fun will start this Friday night. TBS has decided to pick up the Red Sox-Yankees game that evening, with Chip Caray and Buck Martinez on the call.
The MLB Network will also air a BOS-NYY game (today, 3:30pm), as well showing the Tigers, Twins, Cardinals and Rockies, in the coming week. Add to that the FOX and ESPN schedules and you have one heck of a Baseball weekend. Here's a schedule for you....

What game (or games) will ESPN air next Wednesday? My guess is Minnesota-Detroit, as it has the most importance. St. Louis, NY, Boston and Philly will have clinched by then, so their games become glorified exhibition games prepping for the playoffs.
9/23: Yankees-Angels is a simulcast of FS West.
9/26: Fox will air Red Sox-Yankees or Cubs-Giants at 4 PM ET. MLB Network will simulcast Cardinals-Rockies from FS Rocky Mountain.
9/27: Red Sox-Yankees is on ESPN at 1 PM ET (live) and 8:30 PM ET (tape delay) -- game time was moved up due to Yom Kippur. Cardinals-Rockies is on TBS at 3 PM ET.
9/28: Twins-Tigers is a simulcast of FS Detroit at 7 PM ET.
It's Rod Allen, not Ron Allen.
you have last week's FOX listings
Yeah, no need to have a do-over of Kermit the Frog & Rod Allen on a broadcast ever again.
Tigers do not play at the Twins on Saturday. They are at Chicago.
They are also at Chicago on Sunday.
And it is Rod Allen.
The 9/23 Yankees/Angels game is a simulcast of the YES broadcast.
you have last week's FOX listings. And Yanks vs Red Sox on Sunday is live at 1PM
