Watching the Oakland A's game and they win, so we have to wait around to see what happens in the Seattle/Anaheim game. No problem, let's watch the other game and see what happens, so can the station show the game? Oh no, MLB says that they can't show the game because it wouldn't be fair to some other stations. Come on Selig, don't you want people to enjoy MLB and get excited about it? Switch the game over, and let people ejoy the playoff races. Instead I got to see a bunch of half-hearted interviews and Oakland season highlights....as well as a couple of fatties in the front row of the outfield that the camera kept going to.

Kind of hard to blame JUST selig for something that's decided by all the owners.

at some point all the MLB owners (steinbrenner to owner of Marlins forget his name) will realize that the MLB is ONE product that competes (on the business level) with NFL, NBA and other forms of Entertainment and NOT with each other.

Hey Bud, how successful were your contraction plans?

Good thing your Brewers got that new stadium. They're really tearing up the league, aren't they?

In case you didn't know local blackout rules apply to all sports, not just baseball.
