    It's not just ESPN, there is a significant media bias towards all east coast teams.

    Most sportswriters are from the east coast, and most are in bed by the time most west coast teams play...why do you think the PAC 10 gets so little love?

    Yes, I am sure that has a lot to do with it. Let's face it - Fox is not going to be happy with Angels / White Sox in the ALCS. The Red Sox and their long suffering fan base made for great theater last year, and the Yanks always bring the Yank fans along with the millions of people who love to root against the Yanks. Boston vs New York has produced game after game that even non-baseball fans get into watching.

    This also is true. I watch a lot of PAC 10 college basketball, and the games don't often end here until 2am. Casual fans aren't going to stay up for that, and get to know those teams and players...and the same applies for regular season baseball.
