Pirates and St. Louis still on!

Home run Pedro!

Bucs win 6-3, and now back to your regular scheduled Yankees programming.

wild applause!

I am also tired of this rivalry being forced down my throat. It has been a relevant rivalry too many times to count, but right now it is not. At this point in the season, the games should be flexed, just like Sunday Night Football. PIT-STL, BAL-DET, TB-LAA would have been much better choices.

People who don't live on the East coast
People who want to watch baseball that actually matters
People that respect a team that gets it done the "right way" and not the Yankees vs Yankees Jr.

Somewhat amusing but using the contract #'s from ESPN. The Oakland A's team makes less than the New York Yankees DL.

The "right way"?

I'm glad I had a Fantasy Football draft last night and didn't have to subject myself to the crap that is the Yankees/Red Sox.

It gets better ratings which means more people are interested in this than other games. Annoying, but population distribution plus big rivalry and it always sells...

Agreed. It's as simple as that. When more people starting watching the Orioles vs Tigers....Pirates vs. Cardinals...or Braves vs. Dodgers than the Yankees vs. Red Sox....ESPN will air those games on a more regular basis. But for now....they are going where the viewers are.

For the record, living in NY I kinda wish I'd get more out of market games on Sunday night...

don't worry, you are a slave to ESPN no matter what on sunday nights. the SNB game is usually the only game going on (sans a night game in Texas occasionally) so SNB is pretty much exclusive every week. SNB also has national blackouts so even if there were another game starting at the same time as SNB, you'd be blacked out in your out of market package. You could only watch the rangers or their opponents in a game up against SNB if you lived in the region of one of those teams and had your local RSN in your pay tv package.

I live on the east coast, am a Yankees fan(2nd favorite team) and I have been sick of this rivalry for years. It is the most overhyped and manufactured rivalry going.

True. Although I do like hearing Tito calling the game and giving his analysis on the two teams.

Back in the late 70s and early 80s, Monday Night Baseball seemed to almost always have Yankees-Red Sox games. I loved it because I got to see my favorite player: Reggie Jackson.
