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. 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, that's what i do since my zipcode is one of the only zipcodes in the burbs of chicago... 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. 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?
