I had to record the second half of the Tigers/Twins tie-breaker game tonight in order to be able to tutor from 7:00 to 8:00. I was smart enough to add a couple hours to the end of the recording, in case things went long, but not clever enough to anticipate just what an amateur bunch of tools might be making decisions for the Sportsnet network tonight.
Because, you see, some bozo opted to cut away from an extra-inning game that would decide the final entrant to the 2009 MLB playoffs in order to show an early season NHL game between Montreal and Calgary. That's right: they bailed on showing the conclusion to a postseason-deciding game in favour of a game that will, in all likelihood, mean absolutely nothing by the time April rolls around. Granted, they continued to show the baseball game on another channel, but that hardly makes up for the fact that anyone recording that game didn't get to see the end of it.
So, anyway, I guess Minnesota won it in 12 innings (by the time we got to the point in the recording where the channel I was recording on ditched the baseball game, it was just moments past the live juncture two innings later where all of the excitement apparently happened).
This was definitely one of the shoddiest decisions made by a sports network... ever.
