    Any one else find it absolutly obsured that if you live out of market of your baseball team and they are playing on FOX you have absolutly no chance at watching the games?? Any one know why FOX does this and doesnt have an extra cable channel to broadcast the games or at least let MLB extra innings to broadcast them.

    I know its probably not the same for everyone but here in Chicago I have zero chance at watching any NY games b/c there is at least one Chi team or STL playing on Sat. afternoons.

    I hope there is a good reason for this =(

    The reason is the contract FOX has with MLB. Yes it sucks.

    Looks like Atdhe doesnt have any either.

    college football on ABC used to be the same way until recently when they put one of the other games on ESPN2. i'd guess it is because they don't have a country-wide cable channel (you'd know that living in Chi that they gave us CSN over FSN, so we'd get screwed anyways). since it is a semi-nationwide broadcast finding a link online shouldn't be too hard..

    He has MLB extra innings, and they blackout all games broadcast on FOX on their package. it does suck. I couldnt even watch the 20 inning game last week cause it was FOX.

    It's all contracts and yes it sucks but that's what the majority want to see is there home teams. I obv don't get Red Sox down here in Texas so I buy MLB xtra innings on MLB.com It's $12 month and u get every single game EXCEPT the home teams which I don't care about .... Hope this helps

    SOPCAST.com it has a player you can download and get tons of Live Streams. Tons of people here use it for fights and some use it for other sports.
