What game are those from? ESPN doing a story on tonight's game or are they from earlier in the season?

 

 

Those are probably from the Milwaukee series.

 

Note the grey pants and the surroundings, definitely not a home game.

 

Derwood summed it up, I didn't pay attention to anything other than E.A.

Interesting how you all can identify her without being able to see her face.

Wow. I got a 5-day free trial for MLB.tv, and I'm using it this week since most of the games arent on WGN, and now they are telling me that this game is blacked out in my area. I live in freakin' Missouri for crying out loud.

 

Yeah, that sucks but you'll be able to watch the archived game once it is over... In the meantime, you can use the game day audio.

Why is it blacked out though? When I type in my zip code to see what games will be blacked out, it says Royals and STL.

LOL, I remember in '04 signing up for MLB.TV and saying "never again" after experiencing their insane, outrageous blackouts. I can see nothing has changed.

Most likely it's the distance to IL but it could also be OH. The blackout rules aren't very consistent.

If you are certain that when you enter your Zipcode that It does not say that the Chicago Cubs are blacked out. Than give MLB.TV a call they should fix it and let you watch the game. tat's what i do since my zipcode is one of the only zipcodes in the burbs of chicago that is blacked out...

I can only speak to my horrible experience, but when I did call them they told me there was nothing they could do. I think it was more like there was nothing that they were WILLING to do.

 

I never bought it again. And I never will.

The only time they won't do anything or most of the time will not be able to do anything is if, your IP address is from a zipcode that is blacked out.

There was a page that popped up that said something like "if you think you're being blacked out by mistake, verify your billing address and credit card." I did that and then it worked fine.

I can assure you it wasn't on the list. Further, I can assure you that they AGREED it wasn't on the list. Like I said, it was a horrible experience.

So, they had no reason at all? not even IP?
