2GOLD 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2007 My stupid cable company still hasn't reached a deal with MASN. But they were kind enough to run ads that said it was coming April 1st only for it to turn out the ads were from Comcast. And Dish has it upload but for some warped reason, isn't offering it to the Mid Atlantic subscribers. In short, this sucks so much. But at least I have WGN with the Cubs until Mediacom gets off their ass and reaches a deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jaret Wright was Garrett Wright and he messed up on a ton of other names. Luckily hes not the full time guy, but honestly I'll take the availability of all 162 Os games on Directv via MASN vs the previous years where the Os were only only about 80 or so on Comcast via Directv. I love the ads they run to.. Theres one for opening day and it goes over Erik Bedards stats and then it goes "TAKE A SEAT JUSTIN MORNEAU!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2007 Furcal's starting on the DL. Geez...now I gotta dump HIM from my fantasy team, too. Seriously, I drafted Carlos Quentin, Chone Figgins, Freddy Sanchez, Randy Johnson, Furcal, and Gagne. All of them on the disabled list. Oy vey. At least I didn't draft Kenny Rogers.

Guest Report post Posted April 1, 2007 Gagne's on the DL too? Heh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2007 Yeah, he's not hurt, he just needs 'more innings' or 'more time' something before he's ready to be a closer. If I were a Rangers fan, I'd wonder why they even bothered signing Gagne when Otsuka is a really good closer himself, but, I'm not a Rangers fan so I don't care one way or the other.

Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2007 Didn't they get Gagne for cheap? If he works out, it's a bargain and if it doesn't, no hard loss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bored 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2007 I checked their website and looks like it is every Saturday this year, although now they will go with a single timeslot of 3:30 PM EST/12:30 PM PST for the year instead of the split timeslots of the past. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't you get Comcast anyway? It's useless to bitch about the Phillies being on national tv because it gets blacked out anyway. (And I get PISSED when they're on Fox because I don't get Fox Philly and Fox in SWB picks the Yankee games.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Queen Leelee Report post Posted April 1, 2007 No nationally televised Phillies games? With the HR Champ, the MVP, and the best 2nd baseman? Plus an okay offseason? Boo. The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox, two of the nation's more popular teams, and bitter rivals, make nine MLB on FOX appearances including four head-to-head match-ups (4/21, 4/28, 6/2, 9/15). The Chicago Cubs, behind new manager Lou Piniella and the Phillies, with 2006 National League MVP Ryan Howard are also featured nine times. The FOX SATURDAY BASEBALL GAME OF THE WEEK schedule also includes eight games apiece for the White Sox, Los Angeles Angels, Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Mets, the A.L. Champion Detroit Tigers and World Champion St. Louis Cardinals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Man in Blak 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2007 ESPN gets the rights for baseball's opening night, a rematch of the most exciting series from last year's playoffs, and they bump it to the Deuce for women's basketball? Srsly? Didn't they get Gagne for cheap? If he works out, it's a bargain and if it doesn't, no hard loss. Well, not only that, but Gagne could make for ideal trade fodder for Texas if they aren't in the race at the deadline, as seemingly every contender is looking for help in the bullpen as they come down the home stretch.

Bored 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2007 In a bit of surprise Travis Buck has made the A's opening day roster. I'm hoping they give him a shot to play everyday in rightfield and keep Swisher at first with Dan Johnson on the DL as it would be pointless to have him make the team and sit on the bench.
