why does baseball tonight/ESPN hate the Yankees and Red Sox?

Baseball Tonight has already been on for 7 minutes and they haven't shown Red Sox or Yankee highlights yet.

Update:

Jermaine thats a bad argument for why they hate the Yankees and not the Red Sox. Do you know how big NESN is?

    lmao. Kidding right? They can't seem to get enough of the rivalry. Even as a Red Sox fan, I've noticed they talk a whole lot about them.

    Jermaine, Yankees has YES, and Red Sox have NESN. NESN isn't a small network or anything.

    ESPN had 10 games to cover tonight. If they show the Yankees-Orioles and Red Sox-Angels first, 2/3 of the East Coast market goes to bed. They have to show the Twins-Tigers, Athletics-Rangers, etc. first and save the Yankees and Red Sox for the last two games they cover. Since that is the Sunday night game this week, expect plenty of Red Sox -- Yankee hipe.

    Both, I mean you have to give credit for both teams for that exciting game. Anyways, for the Red Sox offense, which btw, was meant to be Boston's weakness was amazing tonight, Varitek, Grand Slam ? really. Anyways, the offense was awesome with Ellsbury, Pedroia, getting on base and every one in the line-up hitting especially Mike Lowell. Yankees Bullpen might be, take a deep breath, as bad as Mets' bullpen last year, or a tad bit better since you've got Mo though Rivera reminded as last night that he was after all human. Plus Brian Bruney went on DL, which is bad news for the yankees since hes the 2nd best pitcher there, maybe call up Phil Hughes as a starter and put Joba in the pen as a set-up man for Rivera.

    I think every single night when baseball tonight comes on, or ESPN the first thing to come on should either be Yankee, Red Sox, Phillies,Mets,Cardinals and Tampa Bay highlights. All the contending teams who are in the race should come on first. These are the teams that most people care to see how they are doing. Everyone wants to know who is doing well. Teams like the astos and Rangers whom are not doing well at all, should be last.

    Wait a minute. You mean to tell me that ESPN has FINALLY broken its mancrush for the Red Sox? I tell you, ESPN is so biased when it comes to the Red Sox that it is not even funny. They love that team with a passion and tends to cream their pants everytime they mention something relating to the Red Sox. Anything relating to the Yankees, ESPN has to have a gun pointed to their heads to talk about the Yankees. Oh well, they're just one of the MANY Yankee haters out there. Their faces sure looked pretty sad last November when the Yankees won their 27th title, especially that John Kruk fat piece of dookie and Peter "Rotten teeth" Gammons.
