>> well, they do show a lot of MLB games. <<
Seriously? On all of their networks, they show 1 game a week: Sunday night. Occasionally, they’ll show a second game in a week. 1-2 games per week. Not saying I’d expect them to, but they COULD show about 23 games a week per channel. But that would cost more money than having some crack-pumped people screaming at their TVs.
Let’s face it: ESPN doesn’t show many sports at all. It’s Oprah Winfrey for men.
It is a bit Oprah for men - but I hate to tell you this :they are a TV network. Televised baseball sucks for ratings. A Sportscenter will crush televised baseball, as will any of their NFL discussion shows.
