Folks here at HLOH watch baseball? Goes well with your needlepoint I suppose.

Turner sure got a bad break in that in a situation where they could get between 10-17 games for the AL Playoffs, they only got 12 of them......

NL has had somewhat better luck so far- tonight is game #14. So Fox/FS1 catches a break there.

And could be a close to best case scenario for the World Series on Big Fox with Boston vs Los Angeles. 2 iconic parks and teams.

wow saw this tweet today from a baseball person- Bob Nightendale(from USA Today)
No wonder the #Redsox players can’t comment on the #NLCS. No player staying at a hotel had been able to get game on their TV. Indeed, #NLCS not show on most hotels, so everything is word of mouth.

It's weird because most hotels that I've stayed at have had FS1 now. Is this still the case?

No comment on FS1 getting a best case scenario Game 7 NLCS? The ALCS you've been hyping up only went to game 5...

7 game NLCS and now Boston vs. LA World Series? Yeah, I think Fox is happy about that.

7 game NLCS and now Boston vs. LA World Series? Yeah, I think Fox is happy about that.

The thing is, even though I've spent the last several pages going on about how FS1 never gets the critical game 7, this wasn't a great scenario for them.

For one, the score was 5-1. A blowout. Would've gotten much higher ratings if it was tied going into the 10th inning.

Also, there were a lot of good college football games on, and the weather was nice outside.

Finally, Fox would've preferred a different team aside from the Brewers being in. There are only 3 acceptable teams for the NL, and the Brewers are not one of team.

Oh, and the teams in the World Series are ok (Yankees would've been better), but they need to go to game 7.

So no, I don't think Fox is very happy at all.

[sarcasm] you missed the #1 reason why this wasn't good for fox. Little thing called LeBron James home debut for the Lakers. [/sarcasm]
