Why Does ESPN?

Question

Hail the Cubs and Brewers 4 game NL Central Race and ignore the White Sox and Twins when the same exact thing is going on?

Answer 1

I agree. I hate how ESPN pulls that c**p.

And to that moron Joseph, I live in Chicago too and plenty of people support the White Sox and go to games there. Don't be jealous because we have won a WS in the last 100 years!!

Answer 2

Cubs- Zambrano

MIL- Sheets

And they are better than the Sox and Twins

Answer 3

The Cubs- Brewers is considered a marquee matchup for ESPN rather than the MIN- CWS game.

Answer 4

You can go on my page and see how I feel as a Twins fan..I feel the exact same way just look at some of my questions

Answer 5

i was wondering the same thing, on each show that was the main story and i was like.....why??

theres white sox vs. twins going on

mets vs marlins

it was a good game but i think they overreacted b/c they have nothing else to talk about but brett favre

Answer 6

I haven't seen the bias myself. I follow all division races and I have to say that the AL Central has been hyped all year.

Answer 7

Because the Cubs have a huge fan base and the Brewers are a great team. Both have a chance to go deep into the playoffs. With the Red Sox, Rays, Angels, and Yankees all playing great ball in the American League, no one cares about the White Sox and Twins.

Answer 8

ESPN somewhat assumed that the Cubbies and Brew-crew would duke it out in the NL. They don't want to be proven wrong in the AL so they keep hush-hush about it. Plus, the Cubs and Brewers have more a "star" quality about them, whereas the Twins are no-name players tearing it up and the White Sox have a lineup filled with players most assumed were washed up (but have proven otherwise)

Answer 9

For some misterious reason the Cubs have more fans around the nation. When the Cubs are on the road many local fans are rooting for them. Last night it seemed like 50% of attendance in Miller Park were Cubs fans. They are also a recognized team abroad. ESPN needs big ratings nation and worldwide in each game they broadcast.

Answer 10

ha yeah i no they always do that with that divison

Answer 11

No offense but nobody cares about the Sox or Twins. I live in Chicago and I will tell you that nobody goes to White Sox games and the media loves the Cubs because fans support them win or lose. When talking about the four game series between the two top teams in the NL it is a huge series regarding the standings but the atmosphere is so electric (Milwaukee is an hour drive from Chicago). The fans are split 50/50 when it comes to the Cubs playing at Miller park because Cubs fans are everywhere.

All in all lets just be happy they are not talking about the Yankees/ Red sox. Cause that makes me sick to my stomach!

Answer 12

I've been wondering the same thing. This series has 1st place in the AL Central up for grabs.

Answer 13

according to espn

cubs>white sox
