5/16 Astros (Oswalt) @ Cubs (Wells) 12:05 CSN

[E.J.]

Are you sure the game is blacked out? I'm pretty sure I was able to watch the early Cubs game before the Fox games last Saturday.

 

I don't think so. Here's a look at the blackout rules:

Every Saturday, from 1:10 PM ET or before 7:05 PM ET, all games are blacked out due to an exclusivity agreement with FOX, which typically broadcasts one game starting at 3:55 Eastern. That means in a six-hour window in which games are being played, you can watch two games at most--the FOX game and your local team if it's playing on TV in that window and isn't the game being carried on FOX.

This game is early enough that it isn't blacked out.

Nice play by Soriano. He looks like a robot in the outfield.

Wow, I never see Soriano dive.

Wells sure doesn't waste any time in-between pitches.
