You Mean They Won't Show the Yankees for Two Weeks?


It's nice to see that the Fox Northeast Baseball Network is back in action this year. On today's inaugural over-the-air broadcast -- Yankees-Rays, natch -- they announced the lineup for the next couple of weeks. Joe Buck and Tim McCarver will be bringing their Yankee love to the following games in April:

Mets-Phils
Yankees-Red Sox
Red Sox-Yankees
Phils-Braves
Mets-Yankees

We can extrapolate that May and June will look like this:

Phils-Red Sox
Red Sox-Braves
Yankees-someone or other
Some other team-Yankees
Red Sox-whatever
Phils-Mets
Yankees-who really cares?
Yankees-Washington Generals
Indians-White Sox (Ha! Just kidding! Can you imagine?!)

No doubt, I will see Franco Cervelli, Brett Gardner and Manny Delcarmen on TV many more times this year than I'll see Albert Pujols, Tim Lincecum and Miguel Cabrera combined. I guess I can always catch those guys when they make their Hall of Fame acceptance speeches.
