ESPN’s East Coast Bias is Here to Stay
1-liner, All, Baseball, ESPN, Media Gossip/Musings January 13th. 2011, 5:15pm
Sunday Night Baseball: The ESPN Sunday Night Baseball schedule is out and as expected, it hates the West Coast. Outside of the Dodgers hosting the World Champion San Francisco Giants in ESPN’s Sunday opener on April 3, no other West Coast team is on the schedule except for the Giants again, when they host the needle-moving New York Mets. The released schedule covers 11 Sundays leading up to July 17, while game selections for the remainder of the season will be made two to three weeks in advance. Let’s go Yankees-Red Sox-Phillies-Mets! [ESPN Media Zone]

I could be wrong, but I seem to remember that when SNB first started they made it a point to do one game at every stadium.
January 13th, 2011 at 5:18 PM
Ugh.
January 13th, 2011 at 5:19 PM
Will there be a pregame ceremony before the first game of a fan kicking Joe Morgan in the nuts?
January 13th, 2011 at 5:21 PM
This made me laugh.
January 13th, 2011 at 5:21 PM
HA
January 13th, 2011 at 5:22 PM
I need some new pictures of the Oregon cheerleaders, I’m going through withdraws.
January 13th, 2011 at 5:23 PM
This will NEVER get old!
January 13th, 2011 at 5:23 PM
The Yankees didn’t even make the World Series last year, I find that hillarious.
January 13th, 2011 at 5:25 PM
Pretty sure it already has.
January 13th, 2011 at 5:26 PM
That is pathetic. Not one team from the AL Central.
January 13th, 2011 at 5:27 PM
Not to me, wasn’t sure I’d see one from them.
January 13th, 2011 at 5:28 PM
Yes, but welcome to the new reality, where “fair and balanced” means “Yankees and Mets.”
America will be watching after K-Rod tells the New York Times “Fuck Derek Jeter.”
January 13th, 2011 at 5:29 PM
This made me laugh.
That is fantastic.
By the way, who is actually in the booth for Sunday Night Baseball now? Morgan is gone I thought and Miller hadn’t decided.
January 13th, 2011 at 5:29 PM
would you really want to watch any of the other west coast teams play?
that’s like lamenting the fact that the NFL didn’t put more games like niners/cards in primetime.
January 13th, 2011 at 5:30 PM
Too much eating in that area of the country and not enough needle plowing.
January 13th, 2011 at 5:30 PM
God the Mets are fucking terrible. They deserve time on SNB about as much as the Astros do, which is to say they don’t.
January 13th, 2011 at 5:30 PM
Wes Welker is a hero.
/Possible Duckworth
January 13th, 2011 at 5:30 PM
Nice hacky piece from Rick Reilly on Jay Cutler
http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/news/story?id=6017986
He doesn’t open up to the media so he’s a bad guy?
Should he be as media friendly as Rapensberger, Favre and Vick?
Nice article, dick.
January 13th, 2011 at 5:31 PM
SNB needs more Blue Jays
January 13th, 2011 at 5:32 PM
Rockies are always a good watch (Does that count? It should…), Angels/Rangers matchups too.
January 13th, 2011 at 5:34 PM
I love Wes Welker.
January 13th, 2011 at 5:34 PM
tell me someone else read the caption…holy shit was that funny.
January 13th, 2011 at 5:34 PM
the AL Central sucks.
January 13th, 2011 at 5:35 PM
Just read the caption also. Well done Hernia.
January 13th, 2011 at 5:35 PM
Wait, John Lynch is the media?
Cutler’s a dick. No need to try and defend his honor. Embrace it.
January 13th, 2011 at 5:35 PM
Well, the NFC West has as many Super Bowl titles and more Super Bowl appearances as the NFC East since the end of the “How ’bout them Cowboys” era.
/but go on, believe that the NFC East is “better” because Fox and ESPN tell you that
January 13th, 2011 at 5:36 PM
The AL West should actually have some nice match ups this year. The A’s have stockpiled some talent, the Rangers were in the WS,and the Angels are usually competitive too.
January 13th, 2011 at 5:36 PM
That is pathetic. Not one team from the AL Central.
Get mlb package if you want to see Royals and Indians play.
January 13th, 2011 at 5:37 PM
the nfc east makes me sick to my stomach. i want to repeatedly bash sal paoloantonio over the head with a shovel. and not a regular shovel either…one of those beastly shovels the spetsnaz use.
January 13th, 2011 at 5:40 PM
This match is going to be fantastic.
January 13th, 2011 at 5:40 PM
Finds nothing wrong with that.

Suck a bag of nails.
/there’s your onslaught.
January 13th, 2011 at 5:43 PM
Haha. I’m shocked they didn’t put the Crew on there. Cards/Brewers moves the needle especially the last 4 or so Melvin and company have been competitive.
January 13th, 2011 at 5:43 PM
Pretty awesome. It’s a few months old, but the first I’ve heard of it.
January 13th, 2011 at 5:44 PM

This colored field crap really needs to stop.
January 13th, 2011 at 5:44 PM
orange field > blue field >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> red field
January 13th, 2011 at 5:45 PM
I appreciate that you didn’t use a nail gun or make an obligatory Jersey Shore joke/reference.
/Tx is cool in my book. You’re girls tend to be smokin’
January 13th, 2011 at 5:46 PM
For sure, but Hernia’s used this before. I liked the smallmouth bass joke better.
January 13th, 2011 at 5:47 PM
damn…i must’ve missed both those.
January 13th, 2011 at 5:48 PM
I appreciate that you didn’t use a nail gun or make an obligatory Jersey Shore joke/reference.
/Tx is cool in my book. You’re girls tend to be smokin’
This is the proper response.
Yes Texas women can be. But I’ve been a bit obsessed with cheerleaders from the state of Oregon recently.
January 13th, 2011 at 5:48 PM
orange field > blue field >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> red field
Eh, maybe. But certainly we can agree that any green field is better.
January 13th, 2011 at 5:49 PM
@s1rweeze: I’ve been calling Morgan a lizard-fish for awhile, this was an opportunity to send him back to the tank.
I’m gonna miss him.
January 13th, 2011 at 5:50 PM
Those Shitty Seahawks are still alive.
MVP Michael Vick and those Unstoppable Philadelphia Eagles are not
/that first sentence makes me cry
//Fuck the East Coast
January 13th, 2011 at 5:51 PM
I find this story amusing: http://www.cnn.com/2011/SHOWBIZ/celebrity.news.gossip/01/13/peter.fonda.discovery/index.html?hpt=T2
Mainly for this part:
A man who had committed suicide several days before was slumped over the wheel of the sedan, he said.
The man’s identity has not been made public, but he was not a celebrity, he said.
January 13th, 2011 at 5:51 PM
Orel used to pitched for the Indians (posted a 16–6 mark to play a pivotal role in helping the team reach the World Series for the first time since 1954)…. does that count?
/Thanks Wikipedia!
January 13th, 2011 at 5:51 PM
ms621…im even picky about green. gotta be natural grass. i hate that the shoe is fieldturf.
January 13th, 2011 at 5:52 PM
every now and then, when im desperate for print’n'poo’s, i print off a few old FJM’s…they’re fucking hysterical, even years later.
January 13th, 2011 at 5:52 PM
Kinda weird, cause I think the top 3 teams in the division will all be pretty good.
January 13th, 2011 at 5:54 PM
Yeah, but the Minnesota Twins’ coach and his wife aren’t perverts
/PUSH THAT NEEDLE!
January 13th, 2011 at 5:55 PM
ms621…im even picky about green. gotta be natural grass. i hate that the shoe is fieldturf.
Same. Ford Stadium (it’s uh, where SMU plays) switched about 5 or 6 years ago to the field turf. It’s better than Astroturf…but not much. There’s just something about it that doesn’t look right.
January 13th, 2011 at 5:55 PM
hahahaha.
TBL….. I come for the sports, but I stay for the snark.
January 13th, 2011 at 5:56 PM
Personally I think this is a better one of her.
Or this one (she’s on the left obviously)
January 13th, 2011 at 5:57 PM
Holy shit.
M Sharapova
FUCK THE EVER LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF KOURNIKOVA
K Wozniacki
January 13th, 2011 at 5:58 PM
plus, fieldturf is dangerous as fuck. i read some stat somewhere that there are 87% more ligament injuries on fieldturf than there is on grass.
but yea…concussions! we care about our player’s safety!
/writes up plans for domed stadium
January 13th, 2011 at 5:59 PM
The NCAA investigation that shows that Oregon Cheerleaders were given improper gifts to attend the university by Nike will blow the USC and SMU cases out of the water.
January 13th, 2011 at 6:00 PM
jersey…same.
January 13th, 2011 at 6:00 PM
M Sharapova
FUCK THE EVER LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF KOURNIKOVA
K Wozniacki
Wozniacki has big boobs (which that picture on there does not show). Anna K is so overexposed and she has Enrique Iglesias taint on her.
January 13th, 2011 at 6:02 PM
ms621: The boobs aren’t lost on me. But Anna K hasn’t lost the spunk she’s had on me since I was like 15. She is getting taken to pound town. One way trip. I may not even bring my bag.
January 13th, 2011 at 6:03 PM
Can’t really argue with that one bit
January 13th, 2011 at 6:16 PM

Don’t ever change Jersey. Not even when you’re a Senator and talking like that could get you on Fox News for the wrong reasons.
January 13th, 2011 at 6:29 PM
I’ll try not too.
January 13th, 2011 at 6:40 PM
M – Kournikova (that way I’d get to fuck her for months on end, assuming there’s an engagement beforehand)
F – Sharapova (I’ve watched her play live and the grunts are glorious but she’s too tall for me – which means she’s above my head w/o shoes – to want it all the time from her)
K – Wozniacki. That face ain’t doin it for me in light of other available options in this scenario
January 13th, 2011 at 6:47 PM
shes like 6′ foot isnt she
January 13th, 2011 at 6:48 PM
Yes. And athletic. You know what that means? We are having tall athletic Blussian babies.
January 13th, 2011 at 6:49 PM
She’s more like 6’3
January 13th, 2011 at 6:49 PM
the correct answer is kill all three. gross.
January 13th, 2011 at 6:50 PM
Good job, sir. You are earning your name
January 13th, 2011 at 6:51 PM
Epic! Awesome.
January 13th, 2011 at 7:16 PM
the correct answer is kill all three. gross
Obviously. You guys are sluts. 80% of these “SHE’S SO HAWT!!” chicks look like they’d rather have a root canal than get laid.
ZERO exuding of sex appeal
January 14th, 2011 at 6:26 PM
I want to lick Sharapovas taint and yes I am taller than she is.
