April 11, 200422 yr Lets all send Emails to ESPN and Fox and who ever and let them know that The Marlin Nation wants more media attention. What the hell? They win the world series and they can't get their games to be shown on ESPN. I have Direct TV and I still only get like 2 or 3 games a week, And im paying 167.00$(give or take a few bucks) I could care less about watching the Yankees getting spanked by the White Sox or the Tigers whooping up on Minnesota. I want Marlins, and Im paying to see them and I STILL CAN' T SEE THEM! WTF!? I will NOT pay for the MLB.TV Bull, when it's the same as MLB Extra Innings AND I can't watch them on my big TV. Screw Houston and The Philles and SCREW the Yankees.

Screw Houston and The Philles and SCREW the Yankees. Don't waste your time, they won't listen... Trust me, as a White Sox fan in this Cub infested town, i've tried the whole "get the media to pay attention by emailing them" thing, and it doesn't work
April 11, 200422 yr I like it better this year all of us here know what the Marlins are capable of. If the media dosent want to pay attention to us thats there faults we will just fly under the radar once again.
April 11, 200422 yr Author Well, I'm all fine with perhaps the media not covering us...I just wish Theyd show more of their games on ESPN.

Screw Houston and The Philles and SCREW the Yankees. Are you paying 167.00 for MLB Extra Innings or just DirecTV service?
April 11, 200422 yr That's a lot dude, you must have like 80 recievers connected, why so expensive? My DirecTV service is only about 40 a month, and I have 4 recievers.
April 11, 200422 yr I know I'm in the minority, but I like the obscurity. Let the Phils and Yanks and Astros have the pressure, just as long as we win. Sure it sucks that we have to watch national garbage games when we're better than a lot of the teams they're showing, but I like it...no pressure = better results. The only thing that does piss me off is that we get no credit for winning, it's always that the Phils dropped one to us, not that we took one from them...annoying.
April 11, 200422 yr Author its 167 for MLB Extra inninings alone, plus the 56$ a mo for 4 recievers and HBO and stars packaging.
April 11, 200422 yr Unfortunately thats how things are so we'll have to be satisfied with local coverage.
April 11, 200422 yr Author ..yeah I live in Orlando. No LOCAL coverage....but hey i get to watch TAMPA!!! :banghead
April 11, 200422 yr ..yeah I live in Orlando. No LOCAL coverage....but hey i get to watch TAMPA!!! :banghead That sucks. I know how you feel. I live in Washington state so I don't really see any Marlins games.
April 11, 200422 yr Author but at least you'd think the FLORIDA marlins would get coverage in FLORIDA!
April 11, 200422 yr but at least you'd think the FLORIDA marlins would get coverage in FLORIDA! True. We get overage of the Mariners in Idaho, Montana, and Oregon... Why wouldn't they show the Marlins games all over Florida?
April 11, 200422 yr According to a schedule I saw, the Marlins only play on ESPN once. http://www.marlinbaseball.com/forums/index...showtopic=16545 Only for now. ESPN hasn't announced their Sunday Night Baseball schedule for the second half. And they only announce their mid-week schedule a week or two in advance.

Why wouldn't they show the Marlins games all over Florida? I think its a Central Florida Thing...Nothing from SoFla is good in CenFLA, Why? because Central Florida has an Identity crisis....Should we support Tampa or Jacksonville? hmmm? DONT KNOW BECAUSE EVERYTHING CENTRAL FLORIDA SUCKS! The Magic, the Gators and UCF.
April 11, 200422 yr Preach to the choir bro. My best shot at watching the fish is when they play the Braves on TBS. I just cancelled the Extra Innings package (thru Comcast, not directv) since I missed Penny and Willis' games this week alone. You can see every Yankee, Met, Phillies ... game but you're out of luck of Marlins games for a good part of the season. Marlins-Phillies tomorrow was supposed to be on ESPN, but I think they replaced it for the Giants and Bonds. :thumbdown
April 11, 200422 yr Author I have respect for Bonds, which is rare on this board...but he IS not more important than the World Champs.

I live in Central Florida also, and we don't get FSN up here and it's not like we can buy MLB Extra innings or MLB.tv cuz the Marlin's games are blacked out. I'll get to watch my first game of the season Friday when they play the braves.
April 11, 200422 yr :censored yea i had a problem watching the second game. it was nowhere on my television. ill tell ya i was pretty ticked off... :censored
April 11, 200422 yr I have respect for Bonds, which is rare on this board...but he IS not more important than the World Champs. to espn he is ... to the world he is ...
April 11, 200422 yr I checked yesterday and they had todays game on Extra Innings. So I tune in an hour ago and can't find it. Turns out they decided against showing it. :thumbdown
