WHILE crash-to-crash coverage of the X-Games continues this weekend on three networks – ABC, ESPN and ESPN2 – Sunday’s game between the Yankees and Angels, both in the postseason race, will not be televised. Not here, not there, not anywhere.

Baseball’s money-first TV deals always seem to leave fans with a plate of cheesy and crummy.

Sunday, from 8-11 p.m., ESPN owns an exclusive baseball window, which this Sunday it will use to televise the Giants at Mets. Thus, the game will collide with Yanks-Angels, a 5 p.m. West Coast start and an 8 p.m. start here. The Angels won’t shift the starting time, to 2 p.m. (5 p.m., here).

So that’s that. For the second time this summer, the Yanks won’t be televised because their game conflicts with national TV deals. July 14’s Yanks-Marlins game wasn’t televised because it conflicted with Fox’s Saturday afternoon exclusive.

Sunday, we again have to rely on John Sterling’s version.
