Thanks, MLB!

Major League Baseball hates its fans and does its best to make sure they can’t see the games. It’s something CJ has talked about before. Tonight, the two Major League Baseball games available to me in HD are the Pirates at the Cards on FSNHD and the Dodgers at the Cubs on ESPN. I can watch neither of them because apparently I am in both teams’ home area.

Never mind that both teams’ home fields are over 4 hours and over 3 hours away respectively and it’s a Wednesday night where the brilliant minds at MLB headquarters can hardly expect me to just take off of work for the half day commitment at minimum it would be for me to go to these games.

So instead of watching two games in the insanely close NL Central race, including the team I follow (St. Louis) I get ESPN News and off-air bars. Thanks MLB! Yet another reason I’m glad the NFL is back.

you might not be near Chicago, but chances are good that you get WGN, which also aired the game tonight.

I generally agree that the blackout rules are stupid, though.

also, you get FSNHD? man… I have comcast, and I have FSNHD as a channel, but all it ever shows is off-air bars… EVER!

Ahhh damn forgot to check for WGN. But I would have rather watched the Cards game. Eh Stupid blackout rules.

Yeah FSNHD seems to be off air 95% of the time but sometimes I’l catch something on it. I think its airing a college football game saturday night.
