I get that the big cities drive ratings and I'm not mad about the heavy rotation of Boston, NY, LA teams on the ESPN nationally broadcast games.
To give the devil his due - ESPN seems to match up the big city teams with mid-market teams on the games they broadcast. Unless it's Boston - Yankees. We will never escape those games.
No, what gets me is the dearth of stories, highlights, interviews or even articles on the website covering Midwestern teams.
MLB TV is national, but they have even handed coverage and focus on teams in the race. Hell they had stories about Houston St Louis Detroit and KC Yesterday, on the prime time analysis show.
Sportcenter on the other hand - well not so much
