Rockies, and their starters' ERA in the neighborhood of 6.25 heading to muggy Texas this weekend.

 

Has any team ever scored 50 runs in a three game series?

I understand the rationale behind the rule--FOX has paid a lot of money to have exclusivity in their time slot. I just think there has to be a solution out there that gives FOX (or whomever succeeds them) what they want without blacking games out.

Great. I'd be happy to watch one of the other games Fox is broadcasting, as opposed to not watching baseball at all. I'm already paying $200 for the package, I will keep doing that, just put all 3 Fox feeds on the DirecTV MLB channels and let me pick. Otherwise, I usually don't watch.

I think if you buy the Extra Innings package, which is a premium-priced package that already heavily benefits MLB (they do get the lion's share of the revenues) that I should not have to deal with blackout rules. I am paying $200 for every game, so why not show me every game?

Maybe we will have a repeat of this game?

That's what I'm thinking. Sad watching the Rockies this year.

The incredible thing is they scored the 30 runs in only 4 innings.

And it was a 5-3 ballgame to start the 6th

Don't look now...Pirates are 6 games over .500 and 1/2 game out of the wild card.

13th career walk of home run for a guy named Jim Thome. Passing a guy named "Babe Ruth" for most in major league baseball history.

Papelbon said he told Thome in the on-deck circle that he would give him $5,000 if he hit a homer. Papelbon said he wrote the check in the clubhouse.

Bounty scandal!

'Bout time he produced in the clutch.

A's and Giants having longest bottom of 9th ever. And it ends as I type.

Awesome. Good for him. Thanks for choosing Kotsay Oz.

Wow, that's pathetic after the whole Real Sports segment on the two last year.

Ya know, I don't really want to continue to hate on the Tribune since they don't own the Cubs any longer, but.........If you read the headline in the Tribune it just reads Marlon Byrd suspended.... It doesn't mention his Cub connection until you open up the article. If it was a former Sox player it would very clearly state Former White Sox player XXXXXX suspended....... No matter how briefly or long ago he played here.

 

Not sayin, I'm just sayin.
