so whats the plan for sunday

i'll put this observation here, instead of starting a new thread, but the media of milwaukee completely took a dive yesterday. There was no Milwaukee's real baseball postgame show. The packers lead every sports cast. The brewers got really no time in any sports cast. 620 broadcasted the packers game instead of the brewers. In the past i accepted this because the brewers were out of it, but I thought atleast the coverage would be more balanced, but it was like we were 20 games back again.

I've seen many other threads along these lines (Brewer vs. Packers) over the years, either on this site or other sites. People would always argue that if the Brewers actually had August or September games that mattered they might do as well, or even get better ratings than the Packers. I always had grave doubts about that, and yesterday was a prime example of why. If people rather watch a September football game instead of a pennant race baseball game, fine. This is Wisconsin, I guess that's the way it is. What bothers me is the 30 seconds of coverage the Brewers get on the local news.

 

The Brewers will never draw better local ratings than the Packers unless maybe that Brewer are actually IN the postseason. Even then, I think they would have to be in the WS to out rate the Packers.

Yeah, I think the news story would go something along the lines of "More on the Brewers stunning World Series victory - right after these pictures from Brett Favre's daughter's birthday party!"
