Compared to the last few weeks, we have a somewhat boring HD schedule on the horizon this weekend. Sure, some NBA and NHL series can be wrapped up, but I’m talking more in terms of quantity, not quality.
A pair each of NBA and NHL games are guaranteed with an additional game possible if the Utah Jazz forces a game 7. The NBA playoffs could be in the next round by the end of the day Friday. As for the NHL, we’ll have to wait until Sunday to see if the Pittsburgh Penguins knock off the Philadelphia Flyers.
Major League Baseball is in it’s first series of inter-league play this weekend. That means the ESPN game of the week is, of course, Mets vs. Yankees. There is also a game mid-afternoon on Fox on Saturday, depending on your region, and Brewers vs. Red Sox on Sunday.
The rest of the national HD schedule is as follows. Remember, all
