New York Yankees threaten ESPN boycott over scheduling frustrations

The New York Yankees are frustrated. Besides having numerous games cancelled due to Mother Nature’s wrath, they have been grounded more times than a rebellious teenager with overprotective parents.

So while the Yankees are frustrated beyond belief, ESPN didn’t make things any easier. On Monday, Jimmy Traina of SI.com reported that a feud was brewing between the two powerhouses.

The feud began when ESPN decided to take the matchup of the Yankees and the Toronto Blue Jays and transfer it to 8 PM on July 8 to serve as an ESPN Sunday Night Baseball telecast.
