This Is Getting Ridiculous
OK, so it's Monday evening. I turn on the television machine to see if there is anything that will serve as appropriate background noise while I go about my tasks.
I scroll down the programming guide and the listing for the MLB Network informs me that the Brewers/Mariners game is on. Now, the game was played that afternoon (I know because I saw the final score on the Yahoo MLB page), but who cares? It's baseball, and I'll watch it. God knows I've watched older games.
So I turn my DirecTV crank to channel 213 and get ready for some baseball. Alas, it was not to be.
Instead of a pleasurable, meaningless spring training game, I saw nothing but a blank screen -- and an on-screen message telling me that "This program is blacked out in your area."
Really, Major League Baseball? As if the blackout restrictiosn aren't goofy enough -- now you're blacking out Brewers games that have already been played?
Perhaps Baron Budhausen is scared that we'll all stay home and watch the tape delayed game instead of hitching a lift from this guy for the roadie to Arizona:
