And Another Thing...
Think ESPN gives a shit about sports fans or the sports it covers? Think again. If tonight's Sox-Tribe game had been played when it should have been played -- at 2pm central time, it wouldn't be in the middle of a 2+ hour rain delay right now. What a fucking joke: rain aside, it's April in Chicago, why wasn't this an afternoon game anyway?!
Thanks, ESPN. Thanks for forcing MLB start times to get the biggest bang on the advertising buck. All those White Sox fans who paid a bundle for opening day tickets the minute they went on sale, to be there when their team plays its first game as World Champions can just go home and scratch their asses until the makeup. And a few million baseball fans who look forward to this day for months can wait longer.
Monday Morning Update: Well, they played it out, which diminishes some of what I wrote above. But still.
