Like I said before, MLB wouldn't keep putting the Yankees on in primetime if they weren't getting the ratings.
Love them or hate them (I'm neither, but ALWAYS respect them), they are the Dallas Cowboys of baseball, and people will tune in to see them win or lose.

Bill, your a 100% right. The Yankees draw and it works because Yankee fans watch the game and those who dont like the Yankees (and there are a lot of them) watch them.
In fact, the only time the Yankees havent been in prime time was in 2003 when the Cubs got those spots.

I can understand you being torn about this, but I think you have to root for your team to wrap it up as soon as possible.
Yeah I will. I have tickets to the 2nd home game of the NLCS so I will get to see them no matter what.
These late-night starting times (Oakland vs Detroit) are reminiscent of one-half of the Red Wings playoff games. At least they're starting at 9'ish instead of 10PM so I can watch two or three innings before hitting the rack. Anyway, it should be another good game.
Interesting schedule tomorrow:
Cardinals @ Nationals- 1:00pm ET (MLBN)
Giants @ Reds- 4:00pm ET (TBS)
Orioles @ Yankees- 7:30pm ET (TBS)
Tigers @ Athletics- 9:30pm ET (TNT)
IF BOTH the Giants-Reds AND Tigers-A's series ends today, the Orioles-Yankees game will move to 8:30pm ET

See, I know a lot of you have been asking for day games but I think it would suck if the Tigers had a 1:00pm game on a working day. The kids are in school and most adults will be at work. There is a very small percentage of people who aren't retired or unemployed who will be able to watch that game. I can always make the decision to stay up late like I will to watch the Tigs tonight. Yes, I will be tired at work tomorrow but I would have no options for a day game like that.
I'm at work and can only listen to San Fran/Cincy on ESPN radio. Boomer is doing PBP and Rick Sutcliff is doing "color".
THIS IS PAINFUL!!!!

I'm with you. However, I do LOVE the 4:00pm starts. It kind of brings me back to my youth.
I'm going to watch a few innings of the As-Tigers game, but I hope I don't get sucked into staying up late this evening...as much as I want to.
They NEVER have the LATE game (9:30), even when they play on the West Coast they play at 8.
It stinks that they get that preferential treatment, unless your team is the one playing them.
