Although I live on the west coast I think that this is terrible. Why do they schedule 3 games on the same network on the same day?

So much for letting the kids watch their team and heroes in the playoffs.

We know whats more important. Short term revenue!

Thanks again ESPN!

The network that hires racists.

2. I don't think it has anything to do with what Networks they are on

It has something to do with playing playoff games at different times, ex. Yesturday. There was a game at 12 and one at 3 both on ESPN, the third one was on at 6 on FOX. I think you are being unfair to ESPN in this case.

3. Then I'll rag on MLB for that schedule.

The 10:00 PM starts are not fan-friendly.

5. I agree they are not fan friendly

but in this case I think the game is at Oakland which is the West Coast where all the true Oakland fans are. But I recall games being on around that time in the regular season, but it's the playoffs which means at this point, every game is a must win.

4. Take a nap and wake up at 10

To converse is when a Baseball games start at 9:00 AM on the Left Coast.

6. Sorry, no sympathy here

90% of all programming is done with the East Coast in mind. I don't think we need to feel sorry for them for the 10% of the time they have to stay up late.

7. It's the schedule, with three games in a row.

And they don't want the games overlapping.

Besides, us west coasters had to live with a 10 am Yankees-Twins game. Sorry, but them's the breaks. Sox fans will stay up for it. I guarantee that!
