ESPN, somehow, finds a way to make SNB worse

I was going to write about this earlier today, but I forgot. So thank Vazzano for bringing it to my attention again.

The Watchdog is reporting that ESPN will not remove Joe Morgan from the "Sunday Night Baseball" booth, as was previously rumored. In fact, they will add Steve Phillips to it.

ESPN really outdid itself here. It managed to take an already awful product and make it worse. I can't say that I'm shocked, however. I'm just happy that MLB Network's game night programming will begin to make "Baseball Tonight" obsolete.

Final Stadium game to be on ESPN

According to Peter Abraham, ESPN has snatched up the final game at Yankee Stadium, moving it from 1:05 p.m. to 8:05 p.m.

This is obviously just an attempt to get ratings after the NFL season begins.

Hopefully the YES Network still broadcasts the pregame ceremonies because I'm sure they would do a much better job reaching the home fans than ESPN ever could. The last thing I want to hear is Jon Miller and Joe Morgan talking about their Yankee Stadium memories instead of people like David Cone and Paul O'Neill - you know, people that are actually relevant in recent Yankees lore.

Or hopefully I can get tickets and not care about what's shown on television.
