For Now, TV Not Making Changes for McGwire, Sosa
Even though Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire are tied with 62 homers, Fox isn’t planning to preempt network programming this week to show their games. The Chicago Cub games at San Diego tonight and Tuesday will be televised by WGN.
St. Louis’ home games against Pittsburgh tonight and Tuesday will not be televised nationally.
ESPN will pick its Wednesday baseball lineup today, and it will include two games on ESPN and two on ESPN2. Chicago-San Diego figures to be one game and Pittsburgh at St. Louis another. Presumably, Los Angeles would get all four games.
FX was planning to switch its baseball night from Saturday to Tuesday and show the Cubs and Padres, but those plans were scrapped Friday. FX has a football-baseball doubleheader scheduled for Saturday--UCLA-Houston football followed by St. Louis- Milwaukee baseball.
