It's a day game - HUZZAH!!!!!

I get to actually watch a game for once! Though next week I’ll be in Atlanta so I’ll be on American time for a few days.

Why is my internet choosing NOW to act up though? :(

LOL MLB!

So given that I live in San Diego, mlb.tv is blacked out today. But the game is not being broadcast by the local Padres station. So, I’m just SOL.

I mean, COME THE F’ ON. It’s 2009 and we’re still dealing with this BS?
