Oh goodie, the Mets August 27th game is on Peacock!

If you waste the second to last weekend of the summer watching a baseball game on Peacock, that’s on you.

By the way baseball, 50 million people watched a 6:05 start football game on Sunday.  I guess West Coast sports fans ARE available before 8:30 eastern….and I notice you don’t mind making LA fans watch 9am baseball if the money is right…
