Corporations... plus Fox no longer wants to be the only one providing coverage. Ironically this year since two teams are from LA and playing on different coasts, they could've had both series on Fox without conflicts [unless the east coast based game lasts into extra innings].

They got you between Iraq and a hard place! Either you get cable or pay through the nose for mucho expensive playoff game tickets.

Ain't like the old days when your greatest problem was if the TV antenna on the roof was shot. Someone's got to pay the millionaires. they got you coming and going.

you can't see it b/c playoffs are a national game on cable. baseball is popular enough that playoffs should be carried nationally, but not popular enough that the playoffs need to be on free tv.

They just had an ad for "Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities" and when I went to the website one of the teams that won (softball) was from Hilo Hawaii. I've been there and it is about as urban as Casper, Wyoming.

Wrong. No one wants diversity. People want to break up sports or areas of life that whites are successful in, while saying nothing about sports like the NFL or NBA where blacks dominate.
