Keep posting that you're not a troll and that we're just mean bullies over here. hahahahahaha

So wait, I was right that Fox caught a bad break with the teams in the AL playoffs? I thought you said that wasn't the case....
Like I said, I think next year is make or break for FS1. MLB if FS1 has another bad playoffs run next year will really try to force the issue. Fox will get what is right now the better league as far as TV in the NL(of course watch, Fox's luck will give the AL New York, Chicago, and LA).

This is the type of argument I can picture him having
- guys, Meryl Streep is not nominated for Ana academy award this yr, that really sucks for (insert network carrying the awards) because nobody is going to watch the show.
- Bodie miller isn't in the downhill finals this year, NBC must be really pissed they invested in the Olympics
- it's going to rain this yr at the Kentucky derby, that's going to make the field less predictable so fewer people will bet. Man NBC sure is regretting bidding on those rights
- tiger woods isn't a factor in the majors anymore, nobody will ever carry the U.S. Open or masters again
When in reality the big picture is that the station got to carry a major event, and people will still watch the event, and the event is still worth airing, despite the little variable that he can find to try to downplay why it is worth having.
It's quite humorous to watch this Dayton troll try to spin those arguments.

MLB doesn't have to force the issue with Turner because they get good ratings.....
NBA and NHL can do it for their playoffs because they have days off in between games. baseball you can't do that. They used to have games going on at the same time- and that killed ratings.
The thing that will be interesting if FS1 continues to have awful postseason ratings if MLB renews with Fox when the contract is up.
