Ah, I can preview the game for an hour in a browser on the Fox Sports site.

Just waking up and discovered there's no way for me to watch this game!

Comcast and Diamond settled but the settlement was that Diamond was demoted to a sports tier package that users need to add on to their cable package. It's likely Marquee is fighting the same fight (and let's face it, these RSNs *should* be in an additional sports tier).

I love these jerseys, BTW. Yes, it's DeJesus.

But is a strikeout that much worse than another kind of out?
