Baseball rant - and everything was going so well

Ratings were up, attendance hit an all-time high, everyone now loves
the wild card... so of course MLB had to do something to mess it all
up - move much of the playoffs to cable and not even simulcast it on
free tv in teams' home markets.

Did they not see how well this worked for the NBA? It's short-term
greed winning over long-term health at its worst.
