Baseball has to be cringing too. They need ratings for bigger TV contracts.

I have no sympathy for them. Just pointing out that MLB themselves cannot be thrilled with no NY, Boston, Philly or LA in the playoffs/WS.

Wow. I guess umps got the message that Verlander apparently gets a lot of calls. CJ Wilson gets a strike on any pitch within six inches of the plate and Verlander can't get a called strike to save his life. That called third strike on Cabrera hadn't been called a strike once in the first three innings. Cabrera had every right to argue.
