This F*cking MLB Extra Innings Package Sucks

[casheasy]

I've been getting this thing for a couple of years now and have always been happy. UNTIL THIS YEAR.

Now they use 2/3 of the available channels for fucking hockey.But now tonight, when there are 5 MLB games with start times between 7 PM EST and 9:40 PM EST, they are showing exactly ZERO of those games! Every fucking channel is being devoted to Zubov and Gregorov and Slubazov or whatever the names of hockey players are these days.

The whole point of me buying this package is so my wife and I can watch the games I bet at night rather than watch reruns of Law & Order dammit. What a ripoff.

That does suck man.
I'm a red sox fan living in Florida now.
So I got the mlb.tv package for 80 bucks a year.
I get over 2400 games a year but I have to watch it on my computer.
Not so bad though with a huge flatscreen.

[casheasy]

I hear ya Yuri but I already sit in front of my computer 10 hours a day making bets and reading Phil Jr's and London News' threads.

I need some quality time in fron of my TV LOL

[yuri]

hahah, I completely understand.
Sadly for me it's my only alternative to catch the sox.
The directv package sucks!

i see three of those games on my direct tv package

738 dodgers/pirates
739 dbacks/rockies
741 cleveland/seattle

hockey sucks who honestly cares about seeing out of market hockey games??? no one even watches in market hockey games

[casheasy]

I wondered if it was just my cable system or what. Fucking Time Warner Cable.

Good line. Nobody cares about those dumb games. Show baseball. I paid for it.

[mcisk]

Talk to Deano about his free to air receiver. All baseball games are available for FREE

[savage1]

I would think once hockey ends, then the other stations would be used for baseball, no? That would be some consolation.

[casheasy]

You're right savage, it's just that this is not what I paid for. This never happened until this year. I'll live, I just had to vent.

LOL Thanks guys.

[casheasy]

Actually I just found out they are showing the first 2 rounds of Playoffs on my baseball channels. What a fucking ripoff. Every one of those playoff hockey games goes into quadruple OT and lasts until 2 AM.

that is total bullshit i have time warner and its the same here. When i get home tonight i am calling and complaining. We have 2000 channels on our digital cable package. How they cannot give 10 channels to extra innings is simply beyond me.

this didnt happen last year cause nhl was on strike.

Why not dump the cable and get a dish. I have DIsh Network and tonight they are showing 5 games. LAA/Pitt, Sea/Clev, A's/Minny, Col/Ariz and Houston/SF. I've had my Dish almost 3 years and getting rid of cable for the Dish was the best thing I ever did.
