whitesoxin' Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 I saw it as well. They showed the sox scoring 11 runs twice in different innings really fast. The music was really cool as was all the fast motion. And getting the Bears in there was awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chisoxfan79 Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Baseball Tonight blows there has been a couple times this year where I stayed up late to watch Sox highlights because I missed the game and those pricks did not even show them because of Boston Gammons was to busy licking the Red Sox nuts.

JoshPR Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Statistically no. I agree most die-hard fans know as many if not more statistics than John Kruk and Harold Reynolds, but kruk and reynolds have a lot more at-bats than you and I, so I respect their insight. What insight??? Harold Reynolds is a complete tool. He has nothing to say, Watch how much ya bet the Royals will start trading people away and he'll say ... Ohhh I picked the Twins to win it all.. MORON. Just because he played the game doesn't mean he knows the most, hell i think he knows s***. Dibble is pretty good and so is Kruk. If they're only gonna focus on certain teams they just sould be called Yankees - Red Sox Tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wise Master Buehrle Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Will I be able to see this highlight again this evening? I think it'd be funny to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Baseball Tonight is not meant to cater to fans of one specific team. NYY~BBTN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Next time your watching, on a night with a full schedule of games, pick a team at random and see how much coverage they get. BBTN is trying to cover the entire league. The teams with the higher fan bases, as verified by tickert sales, get more coverage. The better stories get more coverage. With 30 teams, how many features per month should be on any one team? Do you think the producers look at atendance in Chicago and see 15,000 vs. 45,000 and make any decisions? Do you think they look at away attendance and make any decisions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 I agree most die-hard fans know as many if not more statistics than John Kruk and Harold Reynolds, but kruk and reynolds have a lot more at-bats than you and I, so I respect their insight. Ron Santo has a ton more MLB at-bats than we do, too, but he's an imbecile, as is Harold Reynolds. Kruk's job is to be kind of a goofball, so I give him a bit of a pass. BBTN is a moderately interesting show, but it's nothing that I look forward to watching or go out of my way to see. If it's on I check it out, but if I miss it......well, I don't really MISS it, if you know what I mean... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Uh just to let you know Harold Reynolds picked the Kansas City Royals to win the AL Central.... Name someone who picks 100%? The Royals, based on last season and off season aquisitions were one of three with a legit claim to 1st. If he had picked Detroit I could see slamming him. Plus if he picks Minny everyone says Doh. So I guess everyone should have picked the Sox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 ESPN News did a nice segment on the game. They showed all the RBI hits in that 8 run inning, and mapped out all 23 of the White Sox hits. Baseball Tonight has sucked for awhile. The 'experts' on there couldn't outsmart most of the people on this board... Your observation is very astute and may I add 100% correct.

southsider2k5 Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 OK repeat after me. The amount of media coverage the White Sox get has no bearing on the standings... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1549 Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 NYY~BBTN If baseball tonight did not show the Yankees at the beginning of the show, they would be complete morons, and all the producers would be fired. They are the most popular team in the country, they have the most star players, and they have won 26 titles. They deserve a spot in the first 15 minutes. A tight-wad owner, 2 championships in over 100 years, a mediocre fan base (until things pick up), and only 1 decade with multiple playoff appearances = last half hour of bbtn. sad but true. Bottom line, who gives a flying f***. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerhead johnson Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 I haven't watched it in years. They don't really offer any definitive information. They cater to the casual baseball fan, of course. I'd rather just listen to sports radio, read various newspapers, and check out the internet for my baseball fix. I just can't put up with ESPN or Fox Sports Net anymore. It used to be different.
