Here is an e-mail I just received from the WWL's Customer Care division:

How do you change the time zone setting in an ESPN fantasy league? I don't live in the Eastern time zone, and I'm tired of converting.

If that isn't proof of an East Coast bias, I don't know what is. Yahoo has had the ability to change time zones since I first started playing fantasy baseball 8 or 9 years ago. This is pretty amazing.

You needed THIS for confirmation?

All I’ve needed is the duration of their existence.

One day, David Backes and Albert Pujols will combine forces to become the most awesome piece of violent force known to man.

This is so blatant, though!

at least they didn't write back and say "then move to a real city and not the sticks, you damn hoosier!"

the truth can't hurt you, it's just like the dark/ it scares you witless, but in time you see things clear and stark -- macmanus

All you need to do

is watch ESPN for 30 minutes and you’ll find out that they have severe East Coast bias. Non-stop Yanks and Red Sox coverage, hardly any Midwest or West Coast coverage.

Carp for NL Cy Young!
