WE KNEW THAT BASEBALL WAS OUT THERE SOMEWWHERE. THE QUESTION WS AS TO WHERE IT COULD BE FOUND. MLB HAD STRUCK A DEAL WHERE-IN THE PLAYOFFS WERE SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE 500 CHANNEL CABLE ENVIRONMENT. COU;LD GAMES BE FOUND ON TBS, TNT, ESPN, FOX NEWS, FOX SPORTS ONE, NBC SPORTS CHANNEL, THE COURTROOM CHANNEL, BET OR WHERE??
PROCESS OF ELIMINATION QUICKLY X ED OFF BET FROM THE LIST.
BUT MAYBE THE CARTOON NETWORK WAS A POSSIBILITY. MAYBE MLB WAS TOSSING US A HALLOWEEN JOKE. HALLOWEEN IN MIND, MAYBE SYFI WOULD HAVE THE GAMES. SINCE OLBERMANN LOVES BASEBALL MAYBE MSNBC WOULD HAVETHE GAMES. BUT OH, THEY CANNED 'T THERE.SO THEY WERE ELIMINATED.
THOUGHT ABOUT NAKED AND AFRAID, BASEBALL WITH ALL THE RULES CHANGE, NUDITY PLAYING PROBABLY WAS CONSIDERED, SO MAYBE GAMES WERE ON THE DISCOVERY CHANNEL. THEN, WITH THE WASHINGTON SENATORS, NO NATIONALS BEING IN THE PLAYOFF S, MAYBE C-SPAN HAD THE GAMES. BASEBVALL BEING THE ULTIMATE FAMILY GAME, THOUGHT THAT MAYBE PAT ROBESON HAD ENDORSED THE GAMES AND THEY WERE ON ABC FAMILY, NO THEY WERE NOT THERE. WITH THE HIGH NUMBER OF LATINA PLAYERS, THOUGHT THAT MAYBE THEY WERE ON TELEMUNDO WITH AN ENGLISH CAPTION AT THE BOTTOM BUT NO THE GAMES WERE NOT
THERE.
FINALLY ASKED MYSELF, WHAT WOULD BUD SELIG THINK, WHAT WOULD HIS STRATEGY BE IN THE SCHEDULING OF GAMES.
THOUGHT THAT IN ORDER TO CATCH THE FEMALE FAN, HE MIGHT PUT THE GAMES ON THE SHOPPING CHANNELS.
TRIED QVC, HSN, SHOP NBC, NO GAMES THERE.
BEING PATRIOTIC, MAYBE THE MILITARY CHANNEL, NO NOT THERE.
DIDN'T CONSIDER HBO, BASEBALL AND BRYANT GUMBEL ON THE SAME NETWORK WOULD BE TOO BIG A REACH.
SO MY LAST RESORT, LIKE MOST PEOPLE WAS TBN. IF IT WASN'T THERE THEN MAYBE GOD WAS NOT SMILING ON BASEBALL.
THEN I THOUGHT OF THE TEN DISNEY CHANNELS IN HONOR OF THE MOVIE I ENJOYED AS A KID "ANGELS IN THE OUTFIELD".
DREW A BLANK WITH DISNEY AND TBN.
IN MY CASE, THE HUNT FOR BASEBALL OCTOBER CAME BACK EMPTY.
DINO COSTA....WHERE HAVE YOU GONE????
