>>>>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.

>>>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 )

>And, as a baseball fan, I think the Saturday and Sunday games should have been played during the daytime instead of at night. 8:20 on a Sunday night in October is an insane time to schedule a baseball game. How are you supposed to build fans for the future when they have to go to bed instead of watching the most important games of the season. (For this year, I will say that this is all somewhat mitigated by having teams not from the East involved. That was 7:20 in Texas and 5:20 in San Francisco.)
