Yesterday in Detroit, rain forced the postponement of the Detroit vs Boston game and will be made up today as part of a day-night doubleheader. No big deal you say, right? Try telling that to Red Sox fans.
According to Fangsbites.com, ESPN has exclusivity for their coverage of Sunday Night Baseball and this will result in Game 2 of the Boston-Detroit doubleheader to be played with no local TV in Boston & Detroit.
Fans of the "little guys" have been putting up with these issues for what seems like forever, it's only right that once in a while, the big boys get's hosed by the exclusivity issues of MLB telecasts. Case in point, due to Fox's exclusivity of Saturday baseball with the local Fox affiliate showing the St. Louis game last night, I was in effect blacked out from watching the Royals game here in Des Moines, even though I live in the Royals TV footprint. In fact, only 142 Royals games will be televised on FS Kansas City with no guarantee's of national coverage.
It's only one game Red Sox fans, "man up", carry on with your Memorial Day weekend plans as scheduled and listen to the game on WEEI.
