Another Saturday night travesty.

Game six of the Yankee - Angel ALCS is scheduled to start at 7:57PM Saturday night, only a little more than an hour from now. It's been raining all day here in New York and the forecast is for rain to end about 4AM. Sunday's weather is supposed to be good, dry and relatively warm at close to 60 degrees. Monday's forecast is comparably good. The Word Series is set to begin Wednesday. So why is MLB, Inc. so intent on forcing the teams to play tonight? MLB has a couple of days wiggle room. The quick answer is television. However, when you think about it, what is the real advantage? Would the broadcasting network, FOX, and MLB make that much more money if games six and seven were played on Saturday and Sunday rather than Sunday and Monday? Does ad revenue collected drop that much on Monday? Is that how it works? Does anyone actually know? Does MLB have any integrity? MLB is presenting itself in a very negative light. MLB does not care about the fans with tickets to tonight's game, many of whom must have expected that the game would be postponed. MLB does not care about the players. MLB does not care about the viewing audience, which will get a watered down product. MLB should be ashamed. The shame is that MLB has no shame.
