1. When the Yankees completed their win against the A's Wednesday night to set up a New York-Boston ALDS series, you can be very confident that executives for TBS (which airs the AL playoffs) and for MLB bascially turned into Meg Ryan during her famous scene in When Harry Met Sally.
Everyone outside of New York and Boston hates the Yankees and Red Sox, yet, nothing in the sport draws ratings like the Yankees and Red Sox.
So it's not a surprise that TBS would take advantage of the series by giving them a lot of primetime slots since nothing in sports matters more than money.
