MLB Thread Number 3, 2007

I don't know. When I called their customer service hotline earlier to bitch them out, the automated voice said that all games played before 7 p.m. on Saturday are not available on MLBtv per the national tv agreements. I understand not allowing games that are being televised nationally by Fox or ESPN to be seen on MLBtv, but the Mil-NYY showdown was only being shown locally in those markets.

MLB either needs to severely restrict the blackout rules so that you only get blacked out of games that you are actually able to see where you live or offer an ultra-premium blackout-free service. Where I live is claimed by the Reds, Cubs and Cards. I get the WGN Cubs games, so I understand blacking out the Cubbies. But I have never seen a local broadcast of a Reds or Cards game, but that doesn't stop them from keeping me from watching Mil-StL or Mil-Cin games. I would pay $300 a year for the peace of mind that I would be able to view any Brewers game that is not nationally televised -- and I am sure I am not the only person who would.

 

Cubs and Phils are back on the field after a rain delay. What a long top of the 7th inning for the Fighting Phils' bullpen. They blew a 5-1 lead and gave the inept Cubs a 6-5 lead.

The Cubs will lose this fucking game. I gua-ran-tee it!

 

Told you. Will Fuckin' Ohman and Bobby Fuckin' Howry just served up 6 runs to Philly. Philly's up 11-7. Stupid fucking bullpen. Rothschild needs to go now. Makes no sense to keep him and run everyone else out when Lou comes in.

 

Solid guarantee ... 11-7 Phils after 7.

 

Can it get any worse for the Twins right now?

With Mauer out for another week, Morneau has his nose broken on a Punto throw. He's listed day-to-day, tho.

Depending who replaces Morneau, the Twins' starting lineup could only have two of the nine that have any HRs this year.

 

Ball game. Final 11-7. If I'm Howard Eskin, I would provoke Sweet Lou into a rage to end all rages in the locker room tonight.

Charlie Manuel would appreciate seeing that.

 

The Curial monsignors always get a little nervous when the Pontiff gets like this.

 

PDB: Loved the rant, but it's Indi-fuckin-ana ;D

Go Brewers!

 

They could be the Jays. That would be worse.

 

I wouldn't mind so much if KC lost because it has less talent.. because that's the case. But when they make boneheaded fucking mistakes that third graders wouldn't make, that's when I get pissed... like tonight.

 

Go White Sox!
