July 25, 200322 yr They showed about 3 batters in the Sox highlights. Then at the end slipped in "By the way the Sox have won 7 in a row." THEY DIDNT EVEN SHOW MAGS HIT! Not us striking out Delgado, nothing. Then I watched Yankees highlights, what do they get? Around 12 batters.

July 25, 200322 yr what else would you expect from the East Coast... PS we are still in 2nd so they don't care about us yet
July 25, 200322 yr Didn't say that Toronto won on top of it?????? I thought Stu screwed something up.

Not us striking out Delgado, nothing. Then I watched Yankees highlights, what do they get? Around 12 batters. First of all, the Yankees are a bigger draw nationally, so they will always get more coverage, like it or not. Secondly, they don't wait until midnight to put together all of the highlight reels, so the lateness of the game probably had an effect as well.
July 25, 200322 yr Didn't say that Toronto won on top of it?????? I thought Stu screwed something up. The graphic on ESPN originally said that Toronto won 4-3 even thought the sportscaster said it correctly. Not sure if that got changed for later versions or not.
July 25, 200322 yr Who cares what sportscenter did. We won the dam game. And the last time I checked that is all that matters.
July 25, 200322 yr I've come to learn they'd rather roll the Marlins highlights more than the White Sox.
July 25, 200322 yr :fyou Sportscenter. I don't even watch it anymore. I get all the baseball news I need from you guys!
July 25, 200322 yr :fyou Sportscenter. I don't even watch it anymore. I get all the baseball news I need from you guys! True. Baseball Tonight is East Coast based, yet they bring out some good info.
July 25, 200322 yr i think a lot of people are becoming dissatisfied with sportcenter/bball2nite and espn in general. it would be nice to see a new sports station pop up and try to challenge espn. kinda like a back to basics sports channel. espn news channel is really good though. as bad as espn is becoming foxsports is just off the charts horrible. what the hell is with calling the post game show the "Sox Post". it just sounds weird and bad.
July 25, 200322 yr Who gives a s*** what they show 7 IN A ROW!!!! Things only lookin better with TB comin to town
July 25, 200322 yr It is called Sox Post because I believe Sox Post Game Show in copyrighted by AM1000. It is that way with a lot of post game shows.
July 25, 200322 yr They showed about 3 batters in the Sox highlights. Then at the end slipped in "By the way the Sox have won 7 in a row." THEY DIDNT EVEN SHOW MAGS HIT! Not us striking out Delgado, nothing. Then I watched Yankees highlights, what do they get? Around 12 batters. Two words. SO WHAT? Sox don't draw dick locally so what makes you think they'd draw nationally? Ever go to Comiskey during the Red Sox or Yankees series? If you haven't, you'd know right there why the AL East teams draw a larger chunk of ESPN's broadcasting time. Comiskey is filled with Yankee and Red Sox fans because THERE ARE MORE OF THEM IN THE US THAN THERE ARE WHITE SOX FANS! And I don't blame ESPN for not jumping on the White Sox bandwagon right away. This team has a history of getting hot, drawing interest, then falling flat on it's face. I like what I see. But after having my hopes crushed 4 or 5 times JUST THIS SEASON, it's wait and see for me.

I really think that on the Sox Post on FSN they need to get rid of Damon Andrews. Personally I don't like him at all and they could have someone better on there with Bill Melton.
July 25, 200322 yr Oh yes and i get mad at that motherf***ers because they only show one hit or 2 for us. And the worst thing is that this is the only way that i see White Sox highlights. BBTN sometimes i watch, because it pass on ESPN once in a lifetime. And they talk a much more about the Cubs than the Sox.
July 25, 200322 yr It is nto about promoting teams it si a highlite show. There was plenty of good stuff to show, (i.e. Delgado in extra innings, the Thomas Ordonez hits, etc.) instead there is the Hinske homer and the rain delay followed by the Wells homer. Nothing about how well Marte and Gordon pitched. This game was as big as the game at wrigley yesterday yet was hardly covered. If this was not the norm I would agree that the ending time would ahve been the reason.
July 25, 200322 yr WHO cares if we dont get respect we dont deserve it.......WE should be in 1st when were in 1st we will get respect......SPORTSCENTER has never given us respect only in 2000 and rightfully so BE GOOD

If this was not the norm I would agree that the ending time would ahve been the reason. It is a highlight show with only so much time. So yes, they will give marquee games and marquee teams more face time because that is what their audience wants. Couple that with the lateness of the game and it makes sense. Sox fans tend to take the media way too personally. No need to get riled over nothing in this case.
July 25, 200322 yr lets boycott espn viewing. Why in the hell would you do that? Have we lost all rational thinking here?
