Blackouts.
hmmm predictions....
first off I think the white sox are doing to do better than most people are giving them credit (right around .500) but that of course means they will miss the playoffs... this year (with konerko and dunn off the team next year, and the new talent given a year to grow they could be quite competitive next year)
AL - red sox, Wild card - rays
Tigers
Angels, wild card - oakland
NL Braves Wild card Nats
cards wc reds
dodgers.
and I will go with a world series of reds vs angels with the angels taking it all.

Braves are whining. The season can now begin.
personally I would want my team to be front loaded with away games... that way when it's time for the playoff race there is a higher chance to clinch at home (which is always far far sweeter)
I suppose it is nice to have the first game at home... but really it's not that big of a deal.

MLB is so far ahead when it comes to their network, but those blackout rules are fucking ridiculous. Tried to load up Dodgers/Padres last night so I could watch the game on my iPad while watching Walking Dead...nope. Blackout restricted due to ESPN.

Max Scherzer bobblehead... a thing of nightmares.
hola better internet extension.
or unblock-us if you want to use it on your big screen
all of the sports streams have blackouts fyi
I've got audio ready for At Bat, I'm excited for the season to start even though the Twins are going to stink. At least they have a winnable series to kick off the season, they play something like 75% of their first 30 games against teams who had .500 records or better last year.
Only prediction I'll make is the only one that matters: Twins will finish higher in the standings than the White Sox.

I'm worried about the Braves pitching staff.
Doesn't make it any better.
I prefer not to use workarounds. If I'm paying for the service, I would like to be able to access it from anywhere on almost any device.

Derek Lowe is just a phone call away.
Matheny needs to switch Carp to the 2 hole if he keeps hitting doubles at the same clip as last season. Let Bourjos or Wong score all day every day when they're at first.
Also,Scott Boras likens Bryce Harper to high-class tea:
you can pay for a satellite subscription then.
i pay for basic cable+internett ($45/month because of a deal in my building). so i have no issue paying for these services because my pc is connected to my hdtv. i benefit from my cubs being on wgn still, i basically use mlbtv to watch the red sox from chicago and keep up on my fantasy team.

Only negative about the mlb.
Listening to the games at work
Go Gee!!! Fantasy baseball time
20 times per pitch.
I don't have satellite though. I'm not sure that would give me anywhere close to the features that MLB.tv would offer either. At home, I just watch from my cable service.
Basically, want MLB to review their blackout policy and work towards a solution at some point down the road.

Stop it.
good news, mlb did say they would review the blackouts. Bad news that was like 5 yrs ago.
some father's days they've cut it in half. i don't remember if they did it last year tho. the best is to get a few buddies together and split it.
...so you're telling me there is a chance?
it typically drops around $25 a month during the first week of each month after the first month.
aren't fox games no longer blacked out?

they always have a nice special for fathers day
That's what I thought. I wish there were a way to watch the games and just get the ambient sounds. Just the thought of Michael Kay being even more intolerable this year makes me angry.
I recall hearing something about this. Not sure though.
yep, it will happen when the cubs win the world series or when the braves win another playoff series. Not sure which.

I'm convinced the man is going to call his own death in the booth when the time comes.

He knows his limits. That's why we only does games on the west coast..
Dammit Grandy....
I see Yankee fans smiling after that
Oh, I know. I'm just trying imagine the dialog he would use to announce it.
