Because TBS bid the most money to get the rights

All I can say is hopefully the the play by play is better on TBS than Fox. I have a really hard time even making it through a game on Fox. ESPN is a lot better but they still have there moments were Joe Morgan repeats himself like 5 times in the process of trying to make a point. Watching a playoff game on Fox one time and they cut away to another game just to show you what was going on there. If I cared I'd be watching that game. Fox also ends of having technical problems like 50% of the time. If I could just watch on NESN like I always do that would be fantastic.

Maybe its just because I am from Cleveland but the announcers on FOX and ESPN, never give us our credit, and really when they playoffs were on NBC, they never gave us our credit there either. I think anyone who is in a lower market area can relate to the broadcasters making it sound like the bigger market teams are a better team, despite how good your team is. So we'll see how the TBS sportscasters do. For now, I am happy that its not on FOX or ESPN.

Sucks for you guys who don't get it in HD. I do on Directv.
The reason it is on TBS and not Fox and ESPN is because baseball cares about the fans! They saved us from having Joe Buck for at least a week!
They also saved us from those east coast homers at ESPN who feel that they are more important than the game itself.
Thank you TBS

The last few years it has been on both. ESPN only split the division series and Fox did the rest. TBS is now whoring all the games at odd times of the day now. I HATE THEM!!!
