Why didn't CBS do a good job covering baseball?

In light of the recently deleted thread on CBS' regular-season baseball schedule,

I'd like to ask a question about that that hopefully won't get deleted.

Why and how did CBS screw up baseball?

This is a network that has done a phenomenal job with the NFL, NBA (when they had it), and college hoops and football.

The main thing I look at is that they didn't show their games EVERY week from April to the end of the season.

This brings me back to the Joe Buck interview a while back, where he did say one thing that did make sense:


At least there, he made a lot of sense.
 
Now you are doing the same thing!!!...

This topic was discussed ad nausem over at DBS Forums and I'm would imagine it has been hashed over here too!!!...

Why do you feel, (and who selected you), that this forum needs an "anchor"???

If you want your own sports talk show...try a radio station or start a blog somewhere!!!...
 
If we talk about this, then why not talk about NBC doing away with baseball too. (That is sarcasm by the way)
 


While I agree that this topic has been discussed ad nauseum, I have to disagree that it's the same thing as posting baseball schedules/announcers from 20/30 years ago. I admit there's been plenty that Sabres and I haven't seen eye-to-eye on, but the fact remains he's been a solid contributor to this site as well as DBSForums. He's not some poster that just starts threads about who announced the 1973 water polo championships............he actually brings something of substance to the table.
 

Well, this isn't DBS Forums. You can't automatically or instantly expect everbody who comes here to be aware of a previous sports related website. And I don't think it's fair to ridicule somebody for simply wanting to know more about an important portion of sportscasting history. We should be helping get more information, not bashing him.

I asked this because I felt CBS getting baseball (and not doing as good a job as other networks) was the first sign that baseball was in for rough times- it was no longer as huge and popular and as beloved as it used to be.

Granted, the World Series was getting ratings that were astronomical by today's standards, but that magic of the good old times was missing.
