The Greatest Day In Baseball History .....

[Uncle Rob]

..... According to Mark Texiera of the New York Yankees. And LA Sports Radio, once again, misses out. Can someone please put these stations out of their misery? I have basic cable so I only get ESPN and ESPN2. Games are on both channels. I have to go out and the drive will be about an hour, so I hope (knowing the idiots that run these stations) that they would have it on. NOPE! KSPN, the radio side of ESPN, has Mason and Ireland on. At first I was hoping it was a show promo. NOPE! Went to 570 and heard a line up of upcoming concerts and then Petros talking to some guy from the Buffalo Bills about the upcoming game against Cincinnati. And NO BASEBALL! 4 games that can dictate who goes to the playoffs and the bozo's in LA won't put the games on. BRILLIANT!

And these dolts wonder why people are tuning out their radios for other forms of entertainment. They can't be serious, right? I mean they ARE trying to drive these stations into the ground for whatever reason, right? They really don't want anyone listening, right? (They got their wish, I tuned out and settled for highlights when I got home.) Why even try to market your station as a sports station when you don't have sports on it?

Perhaps there was no national radio broadcasts of these games. That's why no coverage.

I'm sure whatever Petros was talking about, it was very important.

NYY vs. TB was scheduled to air in ESPN radio

A call to MLB to allow for importing of the games on a special circumstance might have solved the problem. Not that any of the geniuses at the stations in question would have thought that far ahead.

1.) If local radio won't cover it, there is MLB audio of the game online. Local stations may want to cover events but the royalties/contracts may not be worth it to the "bean counter", intrinsically, they both lose.

2.) If you were listening to KSPN online, you might have a problem listening to the online feed due to MLB restrictions. Yes, the same MLB that will let you listen to their online feed.

3.)@radio1015a: your subscript says it all.

I would rather have the common sense of the "morons", than the short-sightedness of the ones living that mentality in Manhattan or Hollywood.

On the other hand, maybe locally they were just pissed that the Angels lost the Wild Card and the Dodgers are in worse shape.
ouch!

Sounds like he was listing to the radio in the car, not streaming it online

I probably should have asked him to clarify, but I got the impression he couldn't find it locally - at home, then, online, got frustrated and drove to an area where he could pick it up over the air.

...but I could be wrong.

Perhaps the ESPN game should have been cleared. But that would have been in the middle of PM drive in LA.

What part of this needs to be clarified??? "I have to go out and the drive will be about an hour,"

DirecTV has a feature where you can see what are the 5 most watched programs among their viewers at any given moment. The have both Pacific Time Zone and National tallies. In the national one, the baseball was number 2 out of five (after football). In the Pacific tally, baseball was not even in the top 5.

...Probably just mad the Angels lost out of the play-offs.
