Good story

I saw it as a first date with a youth pastor that was new in town. My mom set us up, gulp. I was worried about what to say or not say until the movie started. There were a couple of older ladies sitting behind us doing commentary on the opening scenes. They were scanning the wreckage and showing things like money, china, eye glasses, etc. They kept saying oh look, glasses! oh look, silverware! etc etc. Finally the pastor said oh look a sunken ship! It went all right and was sure interesting, but we didn’t go on another date.

One day I hope to come up with something worthy of this space.

I was watching on CSN+

Ch. 666-1 on Directv and all of a sudden, they switched it to regular CSN. I don’t have Extra Innings or nothing, just local TV.

One day I hope to come up with something worthy of this space.

Where are you located?

I have DirecTV and still have the game on channel 666.

by sue369 on Sep 5, 2008 6:49 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I'm in Chicago

I get it in SD on Ch.666, but not in HD on 666-1 or 724-1.

DishNET for me.

It was there until they went to commercial on HD, now it’s on, but only on the regular channel. Weird.

When bored, turn on GSN (Game Show Network)

Of course, there’s always LMN (Lifetime Movie Network) and the Hallmark Channel to entertain us ladies!

So glad I have Dish

I just have to flip through the first 5 or 6 sports alt channels and find the game when it’s not on WGN or Comcast. Cand o the same for other “area” teams. I cna find Cards, Sox, and Brewers games easily too.

Is the game still on CSN+, mines on a commercial right now?

DISHnet is acting very strange

Every other commercial break the CSN+ HD channel is switching from the game to what’s on CSN.

by Scrapptastic on Sep 5, 2008 6:55 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Same with Directv

so it’s probably an issue in NY at MLB switch.

Can anyone confirm?

Is this the first time this year that Dome has batted 8th against a RHP?

I’d rather have him bat 8th so he doesn’t mess up the lineup while playing great defense.

Basically, if you look at Theriot over the past two seasons...

…he has the one spectacular month of April to start this year, followed by mostly crap. But because it happened in April, nobody’s ready to believe it quite yet.

Every part of this team is falling apart

Hitting went first, fielding followed and now pitching. The team is cratering and this could be a very long losing streak and potentially one of the more monumental collapses in baseball history. This team is unrecognizable at this point.
