Advertising - A Network Takes Us Out to a Ballgame - NYTimes.com:

"Mr. Kanefsky of MPG said that there were so many avid fans around the country that “you can’t have too much baseball.”

What planet do these people live on? The ratings for this stuff is not going up. Only old white guys like this crap/sport. Anything id good if its cheap enough.

On the other hand, it does finally offer some competition to ESPN (at least in one sport) and their ham handed monopoly.

Now if the NFL Network were smart enough to split some of the ownership with the Cable Operators they would really have a threat. Better yet if they could combine NFL with MLB they'd be able to really go after ESPN. Pure fantasy.

Good news, the NFL with finally have Sunday Ticket games over the Internet. bad news, it won't be till 2012.
