A Doomsday scenario
ByThis isn’t about the stock market collapse or a terrorist attack. It’s not about the next World War or an earthquake in New York. This is far, far worse. Or at least it is according to FOX. If the Tampa Bay Rays and Philadelphia Phillies meet in the World Series, FOX might be better off showing new episodes of House and Prison Break, Maury Brown reports. Ouch.
I think I’m echoing the opinions of many when I say:
Screw FOX.
Yeah, but that’s why the sixth sentence in the article read: “This isn’t what the die-hard baseball fan is saying; far from it.”
Did anyone see the Torre press conference? I missed it. So did Torre cry again this year like he’s done so many times in the past, and if any of you guys have a link, that would be great.
I only saw an interview with the FOX guy and he seemed to have it together then.
good. maybe when their contract expires, they won’t re-bid for the playoffs.
their coverage is terrible.
That would be the best thing for baseball…..hands down!! Go Rays.
Who cares about ratings?
Unless it goes 7 games it wont b high anyway and what fan truly cares about ratings?
FOX sucks. if the rays finish beating the sox like a dirty rug and get to the series against the phils it could be a great series. both teams can hit and pitch and have exciting young players, what more could you want? if the sox or dodgers had limped in to face the phils or rays it would have probably been a facecrush instead of good matchups.
Its the matchup I wanted before the playoffs started so hopefully it happens.
Prision Break and House are two of the best shows on TV and they are my shows and was very annoyed that they skipped a week. FOX better not be skipping these shows ever again during these playoffs! (spit)
Prison Break is still on?!?
Pardon my ignorance, I’ve never seen the show, but didn’t they break out of prison like 4 years ago? How can that show still be going.
yes, it’s still on, and pretty awesome i think. sure the title is a misnomer, but the show has actually had a somewhat impressive run.
i’ll take PB over most world series games not involving the yankees…..
I thought you were joking about that show until I read your comments below.
by the way, to answer your question…
season 1: break out of prison.
season 2: elude authorities.
season 3: break out of prison, again.
season 4: seek revenge, stay out of prison.
So….did they fail to elude authorities in season 2?
Also, again I have never seen the show, I was under the impression that the brother was only in prison in the first place because of a conspiracy and not because he was guilty. Why would they put him back in prison in season 3, why not just kill him?
Clearly he has shown he cannot be contained lol
In season 3 everyone got sent to jail in Panama.
Season 3 the other brother was in prision in Panama.
It’ll still be rated higher than the Stanley Cup Playoffs!
What is that? Some sort of NASCAR cup?
i think it was a south park episode
Personally, I prefer the Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles over those shows. As long as the WS doesn’t affect that show, I’ll be fine.
I’m a big fan of Sons of Anarchy. It’s on FX (Fox).
I also need to get HBO back for True Blood. Anna Paquin is looking fiiiiiiiiiiiiine.
Dexter is the best show on TV, hands down (or cut off!)
My parents like that show. That and Weeds, Californication, Mad Men.
Lol-”Hole in the Wall” might get better ratings than a TB-Philly series. Seriously-have you seen the game show? Hilarious: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sfym8MdKNNY
Of course when torre loses, the playoffs is such a crap shoot… never seems to mention this when he wins
I would just be happy to see a great WS. Really the last great WS was 2001, even if we did lose. 2002 went 7 games but it involved to CA teams and Barry Bonds. Since then it hasn’t been pretty. ‘04 sweep, ‘05 sweep, ‘06 5 games and won by an 88 win team, and ‘07 another sweep.
it could be worse,
Brewers vs Rays
It’d be nice if we don’t have as many off days during the playoffs in the future.
who gives a shit about fox’s balance sheet? or the whims of casual fans? a rays-phils series would kick ass. i wouldn’t want to play the phillies right now (although i said that about the rockies last year)
