Soriano steals second and then tries to steal third. One out Grandy and Arod coming up, why the fuuuuuggg Fonzi?

Soriano is such a terrible baserunner. He should just not take leads, keep his foot on the base little league style.

LOL I know I cringed whe he stole second, and then he just had to be a badass.

EDIT/ Oh no it's Joba the Hutt.

That was definitely a swing, but the Yankees caught a break before too when they called Wells safe when he tried stealing 3rd down 4 runs with nobody out.

Girardi should call a team meeting after the game to go over baserunning fundamentals.

When ESPN released their schedule, NBC hadn't released theirs for SNF. That had no impact.

Reds/Dodgers wasn't announced as a SNB game until a couple weeks ago. And Red Sox/Yankees is on ESPN next Sunday (the 15th), which will be the 4th Sox/Yanks game on Sunday Night Baseball this season.

Meanwhile, the Pirates or A's could be 110-0, and ESPN still wouldn't showcase them.

It would be great to see an A's game.

The Northeast love is ridiculous. I would like for every team to get a featured game.. or at least spread out the coverage a bit.

This would be funny if it wasn't so damn true.

ESPN USED to showcase just about every team on SNB or on their other primetime baseball packages in the early '90s. At some point they abandoned that and have focused on the Northeast or the big market teams to the exclusion of the good stories in the league.

It's why I nearly choked in laughter when I heard an interview with Dan Shulman when Cito Gaston was retiring as manager of the Blue Jays. Shulman said that ESPN seriously thought of doing his last home game which sounded so false to me.

I don't think every team needs a game. I understand it's ratings uber alles, and I don't mind if the first half of the season focuses on marquee teams. But after the All-Star break, SNB should involve worthy matchups involving a variety of contenders, whether small markets or big. It's inexcusable that ESPN hasn't shown a Pirates game yet.

They are biased to their local region. They do the games closer to HQ more often.

Indians are going to let me down tonight, I can feel it.

Re: 9/2 - 9/8 Game Discussion Thread

O's lead 1-0 after a Danny Valencia HR...the last 14 runs the Orioles have scored have been via a home run.

So are the Red Sox.
