Here's my prediction:

On Saturday when there are 157 critical games being played, all but 1 will be blacked out thanks to our good friends at FOX. [censored] YOU FOX. And I suppose [censored] YOU MLB for agreeing to that contract.

[censored], that's not a bad idea. Anybody wanna hook me up? I can trade whatever game they show in LA for the Mets game.

Why do MLB games get blacked out? I know NFL games do if the home team doesn't sell out, but I imagine the rules are different for MLB.

- T. Hoffman relieved H. Bell
- M. Rivera struck out swinging
- B. Hall struck out swinging
- R. Weeks struck out swinging

Go Pads! ... although I'm not sure we're going to do well in the postseason without Bradley.

Yeah it's not like the NFL. It's my understanding that MLB has given FOX exclusive rights to MLB games on Saturday afternoon's for most of the season. So the only game people will get to view is the game on FOX in their local TV market. Extra Innings subscribers feel the wrath of this blackout every Saturday afternoon, and I'm assuming MLB.TV customers as well.

It's pretty much bull [censored].

Thanks.

well Fox has done one good thing. My area was scheduled to get the Cubs v. Reds game, so I said "screw this" and went to get some coffee. When I got home the Phillies game was on.
