When I tune in I want to see all the highlights, not just the Yankees and Red Sox. <BR/><BR/>This schedule give me even more hope that MLB Network will not just be another ESPN clone.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15519249174168249347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221516.post-82729369043348918942009-03-26T22:42:00.000-04:002009-03-26T22:42:00.000-04:00goody, I don't think they will.

If they really wanted to pander to that, they would have not worked to get so many different teams up on national tv.<BR/><BR/>I'm not alone in applauding the move - it's something that FOX and ESPN could learn from. That way, when the Sox or Yanks fail to make it to the world series, there isn't the huge drop off in ratings.

The true test of their scheduling will be once they start being rated as a national network. My guess is once the ratings count, the marquee matchups will start to prevail.goodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00829516772277070471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221516.post-71433405238496630322009-03-26T16:09:00.000-04:002009-03-26T16:09:00.000-04:00Always good to hear Matt V announce a Brewers game...Always good to hear Matt V announce a Brewers game again.

Since they have so much talent, consider a three man booth with a reporter who offers commentary like Peter Gammons on Sunday Night Baseball. Have a "B Team" with the same number of announcers and pick one group or another. Swap out the regular PBP with Costas when the game is a big one.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02768864079454704328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221516.post-54656005615082477962009-03-25T15:47:00.000-04:002009-03-25T15:47:00.000-04:00I like the fact that MLB Net has scheduled other t...I like the fact that MLB Net has scheduled other teams besdies Yanks and Sosx every other week. By the way, Didd I see the schedule correctly? The Royals are on it? I don't think the Royals have bee on National TV since the 80's. And I'm not even a Royals fan.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05733883553395458984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221516.post-91276782093636160982009-03-25T15:19:00.000-04:002009-03-25T15:19:00.000-04:00This can't be right.
