gothams3rdrobinNASN are having a bit of a scheduling problem this evening...
They've been showing tonights Indians/Rays game, which was scheduled to finish by eight thirty (fifteen minutes ago) to be followed by the Orioles/Angels game.
Right now, the Indians game is in the top of the ninth, having run over somewhat.
The funny thing is that, every now and again, NASN cuts away for a brief break, returning with the Orioles game, before taking another break and returning to the Indians game! I can't believe they're trying to show both games, hoping desperately that the Indians game will finish quickly! *laughs*
When this happens on an as-live/tape delay game, they simply put up a ticker-tape message to advise they're jumping ahead to the scheduled programme, if they can't knock the schedule back enough - I guess they can't do that with two live games.
Ah well - middle of the ninth, and we just skipped over to the bottom of the first in the Orioles game. :-)
EDT: ...and the Indians game just tied at the bottom of the ninth. None out, so it might still end this inning - but seriously! This is as funny as the Caribbean league game that just would not end! ;-)

Date: 2008-08-06 09:13 pm (UTC)They did really well - would have thrashed the Rays if it hadn't been for those six runs in the bottom of the ninth. Shame, but they fought hard, so kudos to them.
The Orioles, on the other hand, have been getting their arses handed to them. They got a two-run homer in the top of the fifth, though, so who knows!
