the Chamo magic is gone... but still its 4-1 Astros. EDIT: But, how about the 9th inning magic the Astros have working for them against their opponents: they rally against the Giants in the 9th The Cubs lose a 3-0 lead to the Mets in the 9th. The Cubs blow a 2-1 lead to the Red in the 9th. The Dodgers score 7 in the 9th to win 7-3. AMAZING!!!
Man. Was really hoping we could bust the game open that inning, get Roy's 20th in 5 innings and let Redding mop up.
what a play by Bidge! stupid Rockies announcers were going on and on about how he didn't catch it. then they showed a replay, and he said "I'll be darned, he did catch it."
The idea is that if no games were blacked out, not as many people would go to the games, they would just stay at home.
In the case of mlb.tv, its so that you either goto the ballpark and watch it, or you're in an area which sometimes broadcasts local games... so they want you to watch it on over-the-air tv. Of course, some areas don't get all the games all the time... but MLB isn't going to take that into account for every circumstance, so they just make widespread blackout areas.
If it is being broadcasted in your city on tv then you will be black out. The reason is to allow the local stations to exclusively show it.
ahh.... guess it seems obvious but never could think of a reason as to why they might be blacked out thanks for explaining
they had to clear out for a college football game I believe. not sure on the two college teams, but they had the dome reserved for a certain time and the game was running close to when they needed to kickoff by.
Had to end the game in the 11th so they could get the place ready for the football game tonight. sad.
