EasternSPortsNetwork
Just now, I switched to SC on the EasternSPortsNetwork (ESPN) to see how they would recap the Angels game. It was a replay I believe.

They started off with "Let's take a look at all the games involving AL contenders", and proceeded to re-cap the White Sox game against the Twins, the Indians game against the the Royals, and the Yankee game against the Orioles.

Then they talked about the Red Sox, who didn't play today.

After that, they put up a graphic with the pitching probables for "AL Contenders" for tomorrow (saying "Let's take a look at the pitching probables for all of the AL contenders tomorrow").

Then they showed the probables for the Stanks, Sox, Indians, and White Sox.

Not a mention of the Angels or their game or even the A's for that matter. Guess the EasternSPortsNetwork thinks they only have 4 AL contenders. Hmmmmmm... The only time they show the Angels is when they lose. They've been doing that for weeks.

Also, how much did they talk about Colon's 20th win the other night? I missed it but I would wager it wasn't very long. If that was Schilling or some other East Coast pitcher, they would have wanted to throw him a parade or other such nonsense.

I guess I shouldn't worry about ESPN. They'll be showing plenty of the Angels winning in the playoffs

And the alternative is what? FoxSports West? The SoCalSports Report is Pathetic. They cover the Dodgers, Angels, and the Lakers, but leave out any notion of the Chargers, Padres, or Clippers.

What San Diego and former-San Diego sports teams not "SoCal" enough? Are they not located more Southern then all those 'SoCal' teams teams?

The other gripe is they still cover Raiders crap. They moved out years ago... get over it.
