Re: MLB Off-Topic
Yankees Jays Sunday Night game on ESPN was dropped.
For anyone not following, ESPN picked up the originally scheduled 1 pm game to be a 8pm Sunday night game.
Problem is the Yankees and Orioles had already agreed to play a double header on Monday and only agreed to it because of the early game on Sunday.
So the Yankees threatened to boycott all media and interviews if ESPN didn't drop the game.
Not even sure why Yankees vs Jays is the game of the week. I know the Yankees draw but goodness, can we see other players on national television?

Re: MLB Off-Topic
lol, weird thing happened.
Jays-Yankees Sunday afternoon game in July was moved to the ESPN Sunday night game. Yankees then complained (threatened to boycott ESPN personnel) and MLB moved it back to a Sunday afternoon game and now Dodgers/Angels will be the Sunday night game.
Don't really know why the game was moved to Sunday night anyways. Game is in Toronto (and from what the US media guys in NBA mention, it's more money to broadcast in Canada) and Jays aren't exactly good anyways. And Yankees got doubleheader the next day.Comment
