>>Whoever did the schedule - either the baseball guys or Fox - should really have looked at TV guide or something. It is my understanding tonight is game 5 of the World Series - and it is on opposite Monday Night Football - Colts and Texans.

>>Somebody really should have looked at that and said - hey, how about Tuesday? Tuesday good for you ?

>You can probably guess which game I watched. Do I have an ounce of regret? Nope. It was a beautiful game and a beautiful two month run by the Giants, who won their first World Series since moving to California in 1958. This morning was soon enough to check the score of the Colts-Texans game.
So you watched game 4 rather than Steelers-Saints? You are truly a dedicated baseball fan and I salute you.
Still think it would have been wise for MLB to consider TV revenue ( I certainly would have if spending ad dollars) and schedule the games for any nights other than Sunday and Monday. Bet it would have bumped the live audience numbers. ( viewership Sunday night for non-conference football was 13% higher than baseball - don't know last night's numbers )

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
