I'm officially on my THIRD call to Direct TV - first time, disconnected - 2nd time, some bull about a blackout that isn't controlled by Direct TV - what the........? All of a sudden our games can be blacked out arbitrarily?
I'm livid right now...
Arizona (65-73) @ Florida (69-69), 9/6, 7:05pm ET ANIBAL'S NO-HITTER!!!

It has nothing to due with a blackout, but the customer service people are clueless. They just read off a script and if people call and say a sports game isnt on, they immediately say blackout, which isnt the case, its an error on their part that they need to fix.

Can we please try Borchard in CF some, you know, with an eye towards next season?
I'm not sure JoBo has the range/speed necessary to be our CFer of the present or future, but he sure is red-hot right now. He certainly could give the organization something to think about at a corner spot though. Props to you for sticking with him the whole year.
He has said he feels perfectly comfy in center, I think it's worth at least a look...
And, yeah, it feels good to see him prove me right.

I have tickets to this game but didn't go because I have too much homework. Hopefully Anibal continues pitching this well, but if he does I'll punch myself in the face.

Yeah I could only watch them on tv when they play the Mets and sometimes Braves so I had to get MLB.tv

Hey Rich, be careful how you phrase something when someone's name is Gaylord.

Direct TV people - here's the skinny: I just talked to someone who had a clue - and she said that everyone in this area is calling with the same complaint. She said that since I was a great DTV customer with good history, she could hook me up with the MLB Extra Innings for the rest of the year for no charge (a $49 value at this point in the season). SWEET!
But not so sweet - turns out that even on MLB Extra Innings (channel 739), the game is blacked out - that is the only one that is not coming in - so someone with some 'clout' out there doesn't want us to see this game for whatever reason - even the paying customers with MLB Extra Innings.
I'll have to settle for watching the Astros/Sillies - Stros are up 1-0 with 2 men on......yes!
GO MARLINS!
