What's Happening to Baseball?

Despite that unbelievable finish in the National League and the fact that the Cubs (more than a little overdue) are actually in it, the fact is that many Americans aren't going to be able to watch it from the comfort of their own home. Well, about 10% of those who don't have cable TV. They can listen on the radio, or go down to the local watering hole.

There was a time that anyone with a TV and an antenna could get the games, but not now, with all the Divisional Series and the NL Championship games on TNT. At least, one would think that the cities who have teams playing should be able to see the games on local stations. But, no. Money talks and the poor fans are just out of luck.  They walk.

Then, there's the fact that some of the games are on SO LATE. The Cubs started at 9 PM Central Time last night and tonight. That is a bit too late for oldsters like me, and what about young baseball fans who must attend school?

Good Grief. The Cubs lost 3-1 yesterday, and are losing 4-2 in the fourth right now. Time to get a Move On, Cubs.
