So is tomorrow's game going to be available outside of Chicago, or no?

I've been asking this all week and I think the consensus is that no one knows. All year it has been the 3:55 (EST) games that FOX has blacked out. Tomorrow's game was supposed to be 3:55(EST), but got moved to 1:00 eastern. But, ESPN projected schedule still lists the cubs game as a FOX broadcast, which makes no sense. I'm thinking that they forgot to remove the FOX tag when they changed the time and it will be available tomorrow.

 

Note: I'm talking about availability to mlb.tv, I don't have EI, but I would imagine if it's not blacked out on mlb.tv then it's not on EI either.

If it starts at noon, then I don't think it falls in the blackout time frame. I could be wrong on that though. I'll look on my cable guide when I get home to see if it's listed on there tomorrow.

The bat flip by Aramis on the home run is the single most badass thing I've seen since Chuck Norris and Mike Ditka fought and made the universe explode in the process.

I don't know about that. I seem to remember a couple early Saturday starts this year that have been blacked out so FOX can show a 3pm game.

 

I'm betting us out-of-towners are S.O.L. tomorrow, which of course sucks.

 

FOX's national contract is a steaming pile of cow dung.

Winning games started by Marquis is like a double win. You win the game and also you don't have to see Jason for 5 more days.

I don't see why everyone still hates Marquis. I think he has shown he can pitch well over the last couple months. Earlier, we were saying this game was a loss. What does Marquis do? 7 IP, 3 H, 0 ER.

Marquis has been right at league average this year thus far. The second half slump might be coming, but for now, I'll take league average out of the #5 starter (esp when the #4 starter, Ted Lilly, is below league average in ERA).

 

* Yes, I know there are problems with using ERA as a stat but not all other stats have updated to account for Jason's start today.

I want a Pat/Ron call. ASAP. :D

 

PS Walking anyone to get to Aramis, who has more big hits than almost anybody in the world, is unbelievably dumb.

I don't have any problems with Marquis, since it's been well-established that he is a "solid to average" pitcher in the first half of the season, and goes from "average to terrible" in the 2nd half.

Well, it's not listed on my cable guide. Which means that the out of town viewers are effed.

 

It's so stupid. I can't watch the Cubs game at noon because Fox wants me to watch their game, and only their game... at three. I could almost understand if the Cubs game were on at the same time. But it's three freakin hours earlier!

The way I look at it is....if the Cubs are not schedule for a Fox Saturday Baseball, then I don't watch whatever scheduled game Fox has going. I'll just following the game on Yahoo/CBS, and of course this board. So, no Cub game on Fox Saturday, me no watch Fox baseball.
