Cold and down pouring at Fenway Park Friday Night October 1, 2010. Why were the Red Sox so inclined to get the game in and not have a double header on Saturday vs the Yankees? Because MLB had a 4:10 PM game on FOX..On a Saturday that is Prime time for ratings. There was no way FOX would allow the game to be moved to 1:00PM to accommodate a double header. Instead Game 1 started as scheduled at 4:10 PM and Game 2 was scheduled for 9:10PM.. Guess what, Game 1 turned out to be a typically long Red Sox Yankee Game ending at approximately 8:38PM...Good luck emptying out Fenway Park and getting the new crowd in on time...Nice going greedy executives in the Front Offices of MLB and FOX TV!!
