Looks like your Tigers are going to win the AL Central(6-0 lead), but man that is a crappy deal having no PrimeTime games. What do you think about that schedule, from a Tiger fan point of view?

I totally agree. I don't mind as much because I am a college student and I only have classes on Tuesday/Thursday from 8 - 2:30. It does suck for a lot of people but I assume if theres a will there is a way.

I'd be more pissed as an A's fan though. 11 AM PST games on TU/TH for them is pretty brutal.

Regardless though I'm pumped.

Wow, Oakland got screwed just so Fox and ESPN can always show the Yankees in prime time.

SI

Or the Mets. Double edged sword this year with both NY teams making it.
