I'm looking at it this way.

Figures that FOX Sports decided not to carry the Rockies/Dodgers game nationally or regionally at 2:10pm MT on Saturday.

Go figure that FOX will air the Nationals (against the Braves) rather than the Rockies (against the Dodgers). One appearance on FOX all year, one appearance on ESPN all year, TBS will have their second Rockies game next Sunday. At least MLB Network did their part, carrying at least eight or nine games this season.

Nice of Fox

Karma demands that the Rockies win the rest of their games and the Braves lost the rest of theirs, so that Saturday’s Braves/Nationals game means nothing, and the Rockies/Dodgers game will determine the NL division.

Joe Schiambi (the redhead) is one of my favorites. Im pretty sure he used to do a little work on ESPN as well.

Joe Simpson can get a little homerish, but he usually keeps it under control… just enough so its not pathetic like Rob Dibble on the Nats broadcasts.
