That is simply unreal and speaks volumes as to how far baseball has slid out of the collective psyche of the USA sports watching public.
Wow.

Probably a product of the game not being on Network T.V. Why MLB put it's playoff games on Peachtree or TBS or whatever is unfathomable to me. There had to be a National T.V. Option for them, but they chose to ignore it. For those who hack the NHL for going with Verses over ESPN....this is a much bigger head scratcher in my opinion.
