Some words for FOX
By Mr Opposite
Living in Australia and only getting a couple of games a week it is a rare treat for me to see an Astros game (they are my team for those new to the site). So I was delighted to see that Fox Sports (Australian sports channel that resembles ESPN [2 channels]) was showing Houston vs San Francisco.
The past two weeks have been very good for me in terms of Astros games shown. Since the Astros have moved up in the wild-card, more Astros game are being picked as the game to be played. For instance ESPN made the Stros vs Brew Crew game, the Sunday Night game. But because of Sunday Night Football, I had to settle for a 12 hour delay.
Which brings me to my point. For some strange reason, the scheduled game was replaced today, it wouldn't have been as bad, had it not been a game that nobody cares about � Royals vs White Sox. Both teams have far been out of any chase for some time now, but for some reason, a game that has a big impact on the NL Wild Card isn't as important as seeing the Royals stink up the screen.
What makes me more mad, to say the least, the game was a wild one. Ejections, bench clearing and late inning heroics would have made this a geat game to watch, but I guess seeing Mike Wood start for the Royals is makes for better TV.
I'm sure Joe Buck has something to do with this, he seems intent on making my (and everyone elses) life a living hell.
