Are you kidding me??

Z is on fire and I can’t even watch the game?!

I was at Coors Field today and saw a 1-0 game in 10 innings. And now this!??

Get 'em on, Get 'em over, Get 'em in!

EI is always blacked out on Sunday nights.

It’s an ESPN exclusive. Only local broadcasts allowed in games not carried on ESPN Sunday nights.

The game is on MLB.TV, though. A 1 day pass costs approximately $8.

by Fraggin Judge on Sep 14, 2008 9:07 PM CDT up 0 recs

Really....wow!

I bought it last year and there were so many blackouts I just got the radio for this year…..I guess things ain’t changed.

If the…..er……current situation with Z holds up into the 9th. they might make the video available via MLB.COM – they did that in a similar sitch earlier this year……small consolation, I know…..I’m audio-only, too.
