The Bronx is Burning
At first, I was completely against watching this since I am an avid Red Sox fan, and a Yankee hater, but this is really a good show.
Their casting is great too. Billy Martin, George, Reggie, Munson, and even Pinella are great casts. Has anyone else watched this show?

I fell asleep half way through the last one. ESPN2 is showing it right now. What do you think of the show?

I do think that ESPN has an east coast bias, but being a Sox fan, I don't think it's a big deal! It's a good series. By the way, how come I never see Sox games on ESPN, or ESPN 2? Do I have to put in a special request or something?

MLB has the most ridiculous restrictions on what games we can and cannot show but I don't know why you wouldn't be able to see any Sox games on ESPN or ESPN2. You're out in New Mexico so it's not like it's market protected. It's possible we've reached our maximable allowable numbr of Red Sox games though. Not sure.

Re: The Bronx is Burning
I really don't like the fact they keep showing the Yanks beating the Sox. LOL.

I'm not getting the a-hole thing out of Reggie, what I see is Reggie is a very sensitive player and needs everything to go perfectly for him to feel safe and secure. I apologize in advance to all the females out there, but he seems like a woman.

Re: The Bronx is Burning
I think the show is OK. I really like Oliver Platt usually but his depicition of Steinbrenner just seems so silly. It is like a characticture of him. Now Tutturo(sp?) is dead on as Billy Martin.

It reminds me of when Mr. Burns got all those ringers on the Simpsons, and one was Don Mattingly. Mr. Burns continually told him to shave those side burns, and he didn't even have any. Finally Mattingly shaved the sides of his head and Mr. Burns got pissed and fired him for not shaving his side burns. Then Mattingly says "I still like him better than Stienbrenner". While that is a funny joke, especially for Sox fans, I think that is somewhat accurate.

Re: The Bronx is Burning
Yawn.
I'm sure it's probably good, I'm just sick and tired of the Yankees and I really hate living in NY where Yankees crap is in your face all the freaking time. What's next for ESPN, a Dallas Cowboys show? |

Re: The Bronx is Burning
I hate the damn yankees. GF is a yankee fan and wont shut up about them. It kinda makes me angry at times. Its always A-rod this and Derek Jeter that. They are like the Mike Vick of baseball.
