Go Cubs!

Ya know, I've never missed a first pitch (my dad claims to have had me sitting with him for every opening day, so I'm going with that...)- even when I've been at work or school. My brother and I would come home sick on those days, which was okayed by my parents, and I'll just happen to have something I "need to do" which requires me to leave work early. Yesterday, however, when I opened up MLB.tv, every single game except for the Cubs game worked. It wouldn't load at all. SO, after the garbage can flew a few times, I decided to just leave work a couple hours early. It was well worth it!

I was reading through the MLB website, trying to figure out what a subscription really meant, especially 'blackout'. Does that mean that ALL home games are blacked out, or only the ones that are blacked out from television? And what circumstances cause a game to be blacked out? We've had plenty of super-low attendance home games shown on t.v., so I don't get it.

Also, it looks like you have to pay extra for all post-season games, right?

And, you get audio for ALL games, even if the t.v. part is blacked out?

Any help would be appreciated - I don't have television, so relying on watching games on my Mac, and listening to the blacked-out ones on my iPhone.

I'm pretty sure ALL games are blackout for your home team regardless of whether the game is Home or Away. I really don't care since I hate the Marlins. No Blackouts on Audio though.

Postseason.tv is a different product.

Some Nationally shown games are blackout as well. Heres a list.

I think a more important question here is how do you NOT have a TV!!!!

Thanks. So basically, it's worthless for following your home team.

My Pirates lost but I guess I expected that. I still love 'em. Rebuilding since '93.

Here's the first pitch.

If on duty, opening day at Fenway (next monday) is a customary, non-official holiday.

Jon, thanks for the pictures. PNC is really a beautiful ballpark. It is just too bad that it is so empty much of the season. But the Pirates played well for 5 month last year, so maybe they are turning things around.
