Very true, and it has to be because of having almost all the games from your fav team on TV. I remember as a kid, a station out of ft wayne, fox 55, would promote their MLB games. Some ChiSox, Cubs and reds and ya bet your ass we tuned in to watch them no matter whom is playing.
Nowadays if isnt the reds playing then I really dont pay attention. Part of it is because they play pretty much ever day, and the days they dont I dont feel like watching another baseball game.
I will only watch other games if there is a local kid playing like Luebke (OSU and Marion Local and Padres), STammen (Natinals and Versailles), Niese and billingsly (defiance and mets/dodgers).
