This is one reason I JB my iPad. This way I can watch any game I choose instead of the one FOX thinks I want to watch.

Congrats to MLB. They get 8 more years of dismal ratings.

8 more years of Fox tying up our Saturdays not being able to see OUR game and Turner having 9:30 starts for the playoffs .... UGH

Exactly. Even on the left coast, the game did not end until after 10pm.

Playoff games are supposed to be played in the afternoon and evening.

The ratings cannot possibly be better starting the game at 9:30 instead of 8:00.
