Default Cubs Game 1 and 2 Starting Times
I hope your kids aren't Cubs fans, especially if you live in the East Coast, as the starting times for Games 1 and 2 will be 9PM Central. It's safe to assume that TBS will be cranking out the commercials and these games will be finishing well after midnite. Way to market your sport...

and the ones who don't have cable either as TBS isn't allowing WGN to broadcast the game locally, as ESPN used to. Of course, not sure who doesn't have cable anymore

Maybe Baseball is taking the lead of NHL..and put the games on some station noone knowes, and make fans channel surf just to find a game...and then wonder WHY the ratings are down !

I know I'm showing my age here(43) but remember running home from school to watch the playoffs in the afternoon. Taking a AM radio with an ear piece to listen on the way home. I would love to watch an afternoon game with my son (7) when I got home from work but I don't even tell him the games are on because its to late for him to watch. This is one of the reasons there are fewer and fewer baseball fans every year. I understand its all about the advertising dollar but an afternoon World Series game you watched with the family would be helpful in keeping the next generation interested in the former national pastime.

Default I love cryin' Cubby fans...
Real kick in the teeth -- the evil TBS has coverage of Cubs instead of beloved WGN...

And Harry Caray's son and grandson both work for TBS -- is Harry turning over in his grave?

GO D'BACKS!
