You have to love the relationship between Fox and MLB.

Commissioner Bud Selig calls himself a traditionalist. He would love to play one World Series game during the afternoon, he says, but television says no.

Of, course, that's not what Fox paid for. If Selig wants a day game, he should write that into the next TV deal, and accept the best bid for that package. I don't blame Fox at all for not moving games. They paid for night games, they should get night games.

Ed Goren, however, doesn't set the right tone with this:

With sports broadcasts increasingly concentrated on cable television, Goren said fans should appreciate the World Series on Fox, whatever the hour.

"The viewers have a wonderful bargain," he said. "Turn on the TV -- for free -- watch some commercials and enjoy yourself."

I sure bosses who go around waking up their sleeping workers really appreciate that. :-)
