Rockabilly Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 about the Spring Training TV schedule the last two years we got to see over 20 games and this year we will only get to see 12 games.. I'm such a huge fan of the minor leagues and would love to see the prospects playing... On the air: The White Sox will televise 10 Cactus League games on Comcast SportsNet and two on WGN-TV. WSCR, the club's flagship radio station, will air 15 Spring Training games. The first televised game will take place on March 2, featuring the White Sox against the Rockies. WGN-TV will broadcast the White Sox against the Cubs on March 16 and the White Sox against Arizona on March 24. Ken "Hawk" Harrelson and Darrin Jackson will handle the 12 televised games, while Ed Farmer and Chris Singleton once again will bring home the action over the radio broadcast. from whitesox.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Got to agree with you, I was really looking forward to seeing the young arms throw this Spring but just like everything else involving the Chicago Sports Media we're left disappointed by what they're supplying us.

Meh, It's better than the FSN era when we got next to nothing during Spring Training. Still, these last two years have been great under CSN. What abou the radio though? That 15 seems like a reduced number too. Edited January 23, 2007 by Buehrle>Wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just that, the Sox had better ratings during the season last year too. Though, that won't be the case this year with the additions the Cubs made.

klaus kinski Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Its not like major Comcast programming has to be bumped to televise these games during the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't the ESPN games always in Florida? No, espn does games on the west coast as well. I remember a couple years ago the Sox had a few games on ESPN (one of which was a McCarthy start against the Angels). And personally speaking, I don't see why people compare the Cubs and Sox. Sure they are in the same city but both teams are ran independently and the Sox are equal owners with Comcast so they could negotiate out as many games as both sides were willing to go. And if WGN wanted to show only Cubs games than that is there freaking right (they don't have to put the Sox games on or negotiate with the Sox to get a deal that natoinally televises about a game per week).

jaliciense1 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Im as die hard Sox fan as there can be. But I cant find spring training games interesting AT ALL. I swear they are boring. I mean the stadiums are empty, hawk runs out of things to say by the 4th inning, and after that all you hear is the damn wind blowing. Its boring. Really the only reason I keep up with spring training is to make sure players dont get injured. Other than that, I find them pointless. Anyways thats just me.

I'm sure when the White Sox are bought by a company that owns a national cable channel, they'll get 15 ST games on TV too. Tribune Company is looking to sell itself, showcasing the Cubs on their network is actually a damn good way to do it, the extra Cubs games have nothing to do with the White Sox. Since I get neither CSN Chicago OR WGN here in NJ, I will have the opportunity to see 12 fewer White Sox ST games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klaus kinski Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 All I know is that every night the TV is choked with meaningless basketball games-you would think someone would see pre-season baseball, at a time when people are indoors, would be a great alternative to that same stuff every night.

103 mph screwball Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I tivoed every spring game last year. I'm disappointed that they have reduced the number of games this spring. I was particularly looking forward to this spring to see some of the new kids pitch. Maybe some of the radio broadcasts will be different than the televised ones.

Kalapse Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 So does MLB.tv show all the spring training games or atleast a good amount of them? I was thinking about getting it anyway and this would probably put me over the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
