the lesser LCS
Coverage of ALCS game 5 stared at 5:30 PM on FOX (actual first pitch was
at about 5:40). Six hours later, my TiVo reached its maximum time limit
for a single recording. Just seconds before it stopped recording, David
Ortiz singled to center, and Johnny Damon scampered home to win the game
in the bottom of the 14th inning. Yay Red Sox!
From about 8:30 PM on, the NLCS between Houston and St. Louis was being
played as well. The game was shown on F/X, and they switched it to FOX
just in time for the bottom of the 9th, where the Astros won the game with
a 3-run walk-off home run.
Poor NLCS. So neglected. So apparently unimportant. FOX must be loving it
that the ALCS is continuing. I'm sure the added advertising revenue will
look good in the 4th quarter earnings.
