Rays - Phillies World Series will be great for Obama
Fox will preempt 30 minutes of one of those games for Obama's huge commercial Oct 29th. Huge audience in Florida.

1. MLB shouldn't have moved the game for Fox to sell advertising.

2. I think they only moved the start 10 or 15 minutes.
And that's IF there is a Game 6 (which, I am now officially rooting for... before tonight I wanted my Sox to take it in 4 again).

5. They shouldn't have moved the time for them to sell advertising to anyone.

6. You know how much money FOX dishes out to air World Series games?
If they want to move the time 15-30 minutes, already paying billions to air it, MLB should have no problem doing it.

7. They pay to make millions. MLB should have told them "tough shit"
Who they wanted to sell the 30 minutes to doesn't matter.

9. While I do this...
:eyes:

You can go do this in the corner :cry:

Meanwhile - Obama will have a 30min slot to pitch to America why he should be the next president, while they wait for the game to start.

10. Not crying just think they should not have giving in to Fox's demand so they could sell advertising.

12. You don't really *get* the MLB/broadcast relationship, do you?
Be honest in your answer.

11. I'm thinking it will actually piss off a lot of people
for the game to be delayed or pre-empted.
