Last night I'm watching the Mets/Phillies highlights on Baseball tonight and after they ended those highlights. Guess what highlights were next???

The Braves/Nats and do you know why? Because the Braves lost to the Nats 5-2. So basically they wanted to let Phillies Fans know that even though the Phillies lost to the Mets, the Braves lost too and didn't gain any ground in the NL East.


Isn't this supposed to only happen in Philadelphia on a local newscast instead of a national sports network?

Why little stuff like this bothers you so much is a mystery.

Because we are not supposed to know that people who control the programming is a fan of a certain team.


Does this bother me when I watch the local philly newscast during the sports segment?.......NO

TVandSportsGuy, answer this question please......

Out of the 30 MLB franchises, which one is your favorite? And "Whoever is playing the Phillies" is not an option.

Do you think maybe it's because the Phillies and Mets are in the NL East, and the Braves and Nats are also in the NL East? And that the Phillies and Braves are in a race for the division title? Do you think those things might be at least tangentially related enough that they would warrant being highlighted one after the other?

I swear that you're a Darwin Award waiting to happen

ESPN often plays highlights from the same division in order. This makes total sense given that people interested in one of these highlights probably care about the others too.
