April 2, 200422 yr I just looked over the tv schedule and 5 of the first 9 games are not televised including the 2nd game of the season and then a whole series vs the expos 3 in a row! Who made this schedule and y the hell are so many games so early in the season not telivised. I wanna see the games not hear them on wqam.
April 2, 200422 yr It's 4 of the first 9 and we're not getting the Expos games because they're in PR. They probably won't be brodcasted there either. But things can change by next week.
April 2, 200422 yr Author i dont know all i know is the tv schedule shows which games are and arent televised and 4 of the first 9 arent.
April 2, 200422 yr I saw this and was wondering about it as well, it doesn't make any sense. Having the games held in Puerto Rico is no excuse for not televising them, if the Yankees and Devil Rays game was televised all the way from Japan, then these Marlins games should be televised from Puerto Rico. If it turns out these games are not televised, does anyone know if they will at least be on the radio?
April 2, 200422 yr I think BECAUSE the games are in PR and none of us can go they SHOULD be televised for that very reason. Really make sno sense, I got MLB Extra Innings and I already highlighted all teh games for April that I can watch ehre from Minnesota. There are only 6 GAMES in all of April that I can't catch on TV including those 3 against the Expos in PR and the 2nd Game of the season
April 2, 200422 yr Author how gay is this we get our long awaited first game and then for game 2 we dont get to see it
April 2, 200422 yr If you notice the Expos don't even televise most of their games, if not I could probably pick the games up on their network. Expos suck.
April 2, 200422 yr I'm going to be there for the second game anyways that game's at 7, right if so, i might be there, i'm not sure
April 2, 200422 yr We still have a contract with pax? as a matter of fact yeah, i saw a commercial saying "the marlins were back...on pax"..something like that but i forgot what game they were going to televise.

April 2, 200422 yr I can't go W-day because of Drivers' Ed so the fact that that game isnt on TV doesn't bother me. But 4 out of 9 after all winter makes me angry.
April 3, 200422 yr I wish somebody could just pour some salt on the expos and make them shrivel up and die like a leech. Stupid puerto rico games. :banghead

April 3, 200422 yr I dont know the details, but it is not the Marlins fault for not televising the series in Puerto Rico. Theres something to do with the local carrier who produces the games in PR and the fees associated with the Marlins showing the games or something like that, please correct me if you know what the details are. Same thing happened last year, the PR games were not on the tv schedule, but a deal was reached with deportes 13 so that the Marlins could broadcast the local production of the games.

Same thing happened last year, the PR games were not on the tv schedule, but a deal was reached with deportes 13 so that the Marlins could broadcast the local production of the games. Exactly, Deportes 13 has a monopoly on the games becuase their deal is not with the Expos or MLB but with the promoter in San Juan. MLB should have forced them to open the feed. Last year FSN bartered Len and Tommy's ability to call the game in English along with a producer for Deportes 13 in exchange for controlling and sending back the telecast.
April 3, 200422 yr That sucks, especially because of the fact that I know I am going to be home, I guess I will have to listen on WQAM and talk to you guys.
April 3, 200422 yr guys, as much as this sucks, its not a big deal the good thing is that we wont have to deal with this in august and september
