So is TBS, and they are both cable stations (Here they are, at least).

WGN is definitely a Cubs station. Tribune Co. owns the Cubs, Chicago Tribune Newspaper, WGN, and Wrigley Field. Meaning that the Cubs have Yankee and Red Sox money but spend like the Royals.
OH MY GOD! I never really noticed it until I watched a White Sox game against the Twins on WGN. The announcers whine about everything. Without a doubt the most bias and annoying announcers I've ever heard.

No, I don't think that's it. I don't know if it was the opening day of baseball or not, but just about every team was having their opening day. ESPN had the Twins and Mariners game on in most of the nation, but in the region I was in they played the Cubs game because it is a closer market. The reason it really pissed me off is because the Cubs were on WGN too! Fuck you Miz and everybody else who doesn't get WGN.

Post 3: I kind of like Jackie McMullen (or whatever). Most of the time when you hear a woman trying to break down sports it is just awful (see Julie Foudy). But this chick can hold her own against the idiots on that show.

I have cable, but do not get WGN. I've watched it on my friend's DISH network and it's pretty biased toward the Cubs.

BTW I can't believe anybody hasn't mentioned Joe Buck yet.

wow Vin Scully is still doing play by play? I got the Mets 1986 world series DVD and he is the play by play guy on there

White Sox announcers though, I think I saw one game where they were having a conversation about something and then a guy on the other team hit a homerun and they continued to have their conversation as the ball flew through the air. They didn't even acknowledge it

Yeah I don't have WGN but I have TBS (aka Superstation) and they show Braves games.

Having every game played nationally doesn't really make you that much more money I don't think. Since you are showing games in another teams territory, you must pay a % to the MLB which goes out equally to all 32 major league teams.

I think the Red Sox have pretty decent announcers, they are a bit more for the Red Sox obviously but I don't think they are ridiculously biased or anything. The post game show is really good though, espcially if Dennis Eckersley is co hosting it.

I fucking hate Joe Buck though, so anti-Red Sox when he is announcing. Last Saturday the Red Sox where on FOX and there was a pop up between SS/LF area and when Gonzo backtracked to run out and get the easy fill ball Joe Buck was like "I bet there is nobody more happy than Ramirez to see Gonzo making that catch" then he said the worst part about Manny's injury is remember which leg to limp with. (I just heard reports that Manny's knee is actually bothering him too, they are thinking of DHing him and having Youk play LF and have Ortiz play 1B if anyone outside of Bud Selig actually cares)


WHA?

Yeah I stopped watching FOX like 3 years ago because I couldn't take it anymore so I forgot about those guys. McCarver and Buck are 2nd behind Harrelson/Jackson. The worst part is the constant Derek Jeter dicksucking, even when the Yankees aren't playing. Any time a guy makes a smart baserunning play McCarver will say "That's a play out of the Jeter playbook"

When Milton Bradley was having his meltdown in LA, Vin Scully was carrying on with his same monotone voice as he described Bradley's tirade. It made the whole thing so much funnier to watch.

Actually they stopped making that a tradition a few years ago but I can't remember why. Still though I'd imagine ESPN has a few more reasons to cater to Chicago rather than Minneapolis.

Joe Nuxhall is back calling Reds games this week and it was nice to hear his voice last night but he was not even close on some of his calls. I don't think he ever once called Clint Barmes by his name. He was just "the Rockies' shortstop" the whole night when Joe was talking. Plus he had a field day trying to pronounce Yorvit Torrealba.

Supreme, what do you think of the López/Kearns trade?

In Seattle we always called Yorvit "JoeJessica" (Torre-Alba). Some guys from http://www.ussmariner.com/ started it and they eventually started calling him that in the papers

I'm actually a pretty big fan of it. This was the highest that Kearns' trade value was ever going to get and I think Majewski is a solid addition. They definately need Majewski more than they need Kearns and Lopez.

Back to the random thing about opening day a few years ago...I think ESPN was doing one of the things where they have a couple games but they are regional. In the area that I was in, there are a lot of Cubs fans, and that is why it happened.
