Sunday Night on ESPN: The National Game is Yankees vs Red Sox, Of Course

The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox play their third Sunday game against each other and all three were made night games so ESPN could televise them nationally.

This has been the case involving the two teams for well over half the 25 years that the all powerful Disney entity (owner of ESPN) has shown Sunday night baseball.

It truly irks me that these games have been given such high status. Tonight’s game pits the third place Yankees, 5 games out of first place vs the Red Sox, who have given up on the season.

There are so many more meaningful games including the Brewers/Cardinals, two of three NL Central teams separated by one game in the loss column.

It is too bad the far less important Yankees/Red Sox game will be piped into all those subscriber’s homes tonight.
