2012 MLB Wild Card playoffs TV schedule

2012 MLB Wild Card playoffs TV schedule has the Cardinals at the Braves and the Orioles at the Rangers Oct. 5 on TBS. If baseball seems even more unpredictable this fall, it’s because MLB planned it that way. MLB fast-tracked an expanded 10-team playoff system for 2012, looking to re-create something like the final day of the 2011 regular season when eight games with postseason implications were played. The new system adds another wild-card team to each league, with a one-game playoff to determine which team advances to the Division Series. 2012 MLB playoff teams: AL East Champion: N.Y. Yankees […]

2012 MLB Home Run Derby Monday on ESPN

The 2012 MLB Home Run Derby takes place at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City on Monday, July 9, as part of Major League Baseball’s All-Star festivities. While many of the game’s best power hitters to skip the event — Josh Hamilton, Adam Dunn, Ryan Braun, Edwin Encarnacion, Curtis Granderson and David Ortiz are among the home run leaders not participating — there should still be plenty of souvenirs launched into the seats and plenty of annoying “Back! Back! Back!” calls from ESPN’s Chris Berman. The New York Yankees’ Robinson Cano won the derby last year, hitting a final-round record 12 […]

Ozzie Guillen says the darnedest things on “The Franchise”

When you hire outspoken manager Ozzie Guillen, you already kind of know what to expect. But few could’ve expected that Guillen would end up suspended for five games the first week of the season with his new team. In the midst of the opening of the Miami Marlins’ new park, the team’s new name and look, came some unwelcome controversy. And Showtime probably couldn’t be happier. Showtime announced in the offseason that the Marlins would be filmed for Season 2 of The Franchise documentary series. We knew at that time that Guillen would make for some good TV, we just […]
