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.

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].
