This is the first of FOX's primetime broadcasts, so the blackout windows won't go up until later. Find your region's game here:

Looks like it's Mets - Yanks for me.

[The Hot Dog Guy]

Champions League Final+Cubs vs Rangers= loooong day of Fox watching, and hopefully two blue wind and two red losses.

 

Inter is off to a good start for the first blue win, now the question is, which blue team will score more, Inter or the Cubs? Inter has a one goal lead so far......

Its probably for the best.

[J.R.]

Unless the Angels pull a Dusty, there will be ground to be gained tonight.

 

LA 8, STL 3 in the 8th.

[J.R.]

Cards lose.

 

Ramirez to DH, Baker to play 3B.

 

Ramirez had missed two games while nursing an apparent bruise between his thumb and index finger, and the Cubs scored just five runs in those games, both losses. Piniella has him at designated hitter tonight, with Jeff Baker getting a rare start at third base.

 

Playing time has been scarce for the .218-hitting Baker since Starlin Castro arrived on May 7.

I don't remember about Fox having primetime broadcasts. This is bizarre. I am going to pretend that this is the Cubs and Rangers battling it out for the World Series!

I'm gonna find out where the PD of my local FOX affiliate lives and egg the [expletive] out of the place.

[Guancous]

I sit down to watch the Cubs game on my laptop and the cursed Yankees-Mets game forces a black out.

Yeah, this is a little odd.

 

I might as well think the same.

[J.R.]

Blacked out, even though I'm in the middle of the NL Central.

 

MLB audio on the phone has gone in the crapper.

 

I'm pretending it's 1997 and Gamecast is all I have. I should be able to hit 720 once the sun goes down ...

[Careless]

Wow, Ramirez is next to last in the NL in OPS and third from the bottom in all of MLB (among qualified batters) Edited May 22, 2010 by Careless

[J.R.]

SORIANO!

[DiamondMind]

Sori's going to get one in the ear pretty soon.

[J.R.]

Nice.

[J.R.]

CASTRO

[NotSoSober]

MY GOD THIS STARLIN CASTRO

[Derwood]

I hate everyone who actually has this game instead of Mets vs. Yankees

RE: Starlin Castro

 

Yesssssssssssssssssssss

[J.R.]

Nice to "see" Castro showing HR power the other way yet again.

[J.R.]

That DP read great.
