[moorecg]

I forget...which of these games won't be available on MLB-Extra Innings?

[wekse]

I forget...which of these games won't be available on MLB-Extra Innings?

 

wciu and it depends on where you live...if you're in st. louis, all of the cardinal games for sure, but those will be on other stations you probably get anyway.

[PrimeTime]

Only one game for sure on ESPN, others are up in the air..Im sure they'll be showing about 112 Red Sox and Yankees games..

[UMFan83]

Very interesting that both of the White Sox Sunday games have the option of being on ESPN Sunday Night Baseball. I thought they weren't going to do any more night games with the Cubs/Sox

[Schwarber Fan]

TBS game of the week? Or is that schedule just not out yet?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I count 67 WGN games, including the Hall of Fame game and all the ESPN option games.

[Derwood]

the WCIU contract is one of the worst i've ever seen. there is zero reason to let that awful station carry games anymore

[BigbadB]

I count 8 WCIU games. I don't understand why the WCIU games can't still be shown on the MLB EI package.

[JWCUB]

I count 8 WCIU games. I don't understand why the WCIU games can't still be shown on the MLB EI package.

 

 

I can not stand WCIU. Thats the only station I can't get. :evil:

[Andy]

I think I'm going to spring for MLB.TV this year...assuming that the whole 'me getting Cubs games even though they're technically in my blackout area' continues.

[imb]

it works like that online, as well. (proxy time)

[sharkfan50]

And to those of us outside Chicago area, Saturday afternoon games ](*,) ](*,)

[Rob]

One of our last five games is exclusive to WCIU... as is another one of our last 12. We wont get to watch two Cubs games coming down the stretch. That's freaking ridiculous.

[Tracer Bullet]

We'll have the division locked up by then, so no biggie.

[Tracer Bullet]

I miss living in South Bend and getting FSN Chicago.

[Twiggy]

Thank god for MLB Extra Innings. Hopefully they don't jack the price up too much this season.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Are the MLB.TV blackouts based on IP address or physical billing address? I'm going to be traveling quite a bit this spring and want to know if I'll be able to watch the Cubs when I'm out of the area.

[karenmac]

mlb.tv is based on IP address, so when I have been traveling for work in the past, I've been able to get Cub games no problem (in New Jersey, for example). On the other hand, was at a conference in Chicagoland last May, and the hotel didn't have Comcast SportsNet, so was out of luck in being able to see those games due to local blackout

 

Speaking of Comcast, they have recently taken over the cable situation in the Peoria area - how are they as far as providing EI as an option? Every cable company we've ever had doesn't bother to offer such things. Also, what sort of HD do / will they offer? It's great that all the games will be in HD this year, but if Comcast doesn't give me WGN or SportsNet in HD, it's hardly worth it. Would be interested in hearing experiences for those that have been dealing with comcast for a while.

Why's that? Was there an incident or something I'm not remembering? Actually, I don't even remember a Cubs/Sox night game.

[BCVM22]

Why's that? Was there an incident or something I'm not remembering? Actually, I don't even remember a Cubs/Sox night game.

 

Last one was July 4, 2004 at Wrigley. Derrek Lee homered early and that was it for the entire game, until LaTroy gave up the same to Carlos Lee in the 9th (typical 2004 game, am I right?). The Cubs won when Damaso Marte walked Walker with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th.

sopcast works really well by the way...plus it's free.

That's right. The walk-off walk by Walkah. That was awesome.

[weatherdood]

Tel me about it -- September games against the Brewers and the Mets that nobody outside the Chicago Metro can see! What more could you ask for?

Nope. Our very own Shingo Takatsu walked in Todd Walker. Here's the Box Score.
