drago Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 You guys are mostly Yankee fans. I realize it's a huge market, and there are a lot of fans of the Yanks, and people that hate them. Which in turn gives good ratings. Every time I go to ESPN, or MLB.com there is Jeter's or A-rod's mug staring back. At somepoint they have to cover other teams. I'd really like to see a lead story about how well Ben Sheets pitched, or how the Indians did in a particular series. I swear half the time its the Yankees/Red Sox, the other half its the rest of the MLB. It gets old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would both have the best record in the NL. Sheets is having a good year, but 12-5 with a 3.78 ERA is not exactly Cy Young worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Brewers are in a divisional race for the first time since i've been alive, yet they get no write-ups in a national media provider. I also realize the yankees would, more than likely, stomp the brewers in a playoff matchup (if they weren't in different leagues). I just want some freakin parity. Then again, MLB isn't too high on giving other teams a fair chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, I think if the Brewers had not folded in the 2nd half you would get more press.. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/nl/brewers/2007-05-03-brewers-cover_N.htm The Brewers are getting an increased amount of coverage after their strong start. Pitcher Ben Sheets is high on the interview list. By Anne Ryan, USA TODAY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
