The night the Braves won and the Phillies lost which was Monday, the Braves highlights was nowhere to be found. I didn't watch baseball tonight the last two nights

Yes the way ESPN handles the Phillies in regards to the other NL East teams is a joke.

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?
Uhhh...its called reporting on games that are important to a pennant race....the Braves are right behind the Phils, so it makes sense to report on them right after the Phillies.

Explain why ESPN never mentioned after showing the Braves beat the Rockies, never stated that the Braves cut the lead to 2.5 games?

Because they know you're tuning in, and they're deliberately trying to get under your skin.

Because the Braves game ended late.

To vex you. The same reason all of us have posted annoying responses to your clever detection of our larger scheme.

It is exactly as you probably suspected, except much, much bigger. ESPN is in on it, so is CNN and Fox and the networks, and the FCC, and everyone here at City Data except you. I'm in on it, in fact I'm director of the Northern California Chapter of "VEXTV&SG."

We knew that we could get at you with this sustained public favoritism being shown to your division rival, but we didn't realize that you would catch on so fast. That is why we are having to do all these denial posts in this thread which fly in the face of the evidence of your senses. It is purely propaganda, but we will keep it up in order to keep a lid on our clandestine organization.

So, you're wise to us about the second class treatment we've shown the other NL East teams, but don't get smug, we will find some other way to vex you.

Don't worry.

Next season, Wright, Beltran and Reyes will be Phillies!

THEN you'll see them regularly.
