Welp, that was completely predictable... Why do I have a bad feeling about Sunday?

Rather large hockey game tonight...

Yeah I would too if I were a White Sox fan. I don't think there's anything wrong with a local broadcaster being a homer.

Yep, that's Hawk Harrelson for ya.

Why weren't you at the Mets game with all the other Rutgers people last night?

Yeah. Well I'm still not sure if he is capable of being a legit starting OFer for a contending team, or if he's going to be a Russell Branyan-type HR or bust guy. But he's sure off to a good start this season.

Ouch...Dodgers with 2 straight losses to the Pirates to start the year.

Over the next 30 days, they're going to have 30 live games featuring all 30 teams at least once.

For all of you [expletive]ing about ESPN shoving the Yankees and Red Sox down your throat.... Just turn on MLB Network. Seriously, great channel. I can't tell you the last time I watched Baseball Tonight, or any other ESPN-produced baseball programming (besides live games). MLB Network is awesome.

Also, I don't need to be from the west coast to know that there are plenty of bandwagon/relocated Yankees/Red Sox fans in mass just about everywhere in the country.

You're just the king of generalizations, aren't you? Haha.

I don't like either team either, and this poll does not address the issue. The issue was you generalizing every baseball fan in the country and assuming they all feel the same way. And polling the 6 or 7 baseball fans on OTR isn't going to change much either haha.

You realize how many people you are speaking for there, right?

Right on cue....

That delivery has "Dr. James Andrews" written all over it.

Up next: Bruce Chen, Robert Person, and Omar Daal. Get that 01 staff back together!

Jeff Carter has been cleared to practice.

Welcome back Nelson Figueroa...

Lol....generalize much?

In Philadelphia it isn't an issue as long as you have Comcast cable (I have Verizon though...don't get me started on Comcast). In some midwest states (like the Iowa example from earlier) there are lots of random teams blacked out.

Nope. It all depends on which region you live in.

Huge 2 points tonight. Can clinch a playoff berth with a Rangers loss tomorrow night.

Evan Longoria hit a 473 foot homerun tonight. 3rd longest in Tropicana Field history.

Well, I think blacking out games is dumb period....

I think I remember him telling me that other teams were blacked out for him too (maybe Twins, Cubs and White Sox?).
