    [insert sarcastic black-out comment here]

    Inconsistent/Inaccurate blackouts of sports games Last night's explanations: 1) According to our records, it should be showing on the MLB Network.... well it's not! 2) Then it's because it is being shown on a regional sports channel.... well it's not! 3) Then it's because it is a home game that didn't sell out... well it's not! 4) Sorry, that it was blacked out to everyone in your team's area.... well it's not! Any more discussion about a possible cuss filter-free immunity day coming anytime soon?

    Today's = http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2009_03_31_milmlb_sdnmlb_1 I start with an old link in my brower history (or clicking on one of MassHass's game thread links) Change the date and visting team & home team three letter abbreviations. Tomorrow's Arizona @ Milwaukee would be something like 04 01 arimlb milmlb 1 It might take some experimenting to learn other team abbreviations (or search through old IGT for last time played against). I'm sure there is an easier method, but when desperate, it worked.

    Gameday Why did I waste another 15 minutes on the phone with customer service? What is it gonna take for these providers to correctly apply blackout guidelines (or convince pro league how archaic that concept is)?

    Dont they basically mean the same thing? If one is worse then it would depend how said situation presents it self.I see the difference as being the level of intent. My opinion only (no dictionary was consulted) - both may be done for selfish reasons, but "inconsiderate" actions may not knowingly be offensive to others; whereas "rude" behavior is done knowing it is offensive to others and choosing to do it anyhow. While generational difference have already been mentioned as a possible reason for the differences, I'm thinking the size of the community and pace of lifestyle may also be a factor (my lack of experience living in a city like Madison or Milwaukee gives me a different perspective).

    It's minor semantics, but I feel line jumping (or talking on the phone or balancing the checkbook) is "inconsiderate", not necessarily "rude". While not a fan of line jumping, I'm glad the store finally recognized a need to open that additional line. Sure I wish I'd be the first in that new line sometimes, but I hope the store recognizes that pattern and is ready to open that line sooner next time. That's one of my pet peeves... why does it seem like a surprise to some stores that there is a rush at the checkout lines during the hour after work shifts or lunch hour? When the line is 5-6 people deep, and the express lane is not open, it gets a little nerve racking if I'll make it back to work in time or get to an evening meeting or game in that limited window.

    This probably doesn't explain all the empty seats, but what I did notice was there were different empty seats between the early and late games (lower level). Based on the colored apparel worn by the fans that did fill those seats, they were there to only see one of the two games. I believe some of the ticket packages included buying both games. Personally, I'd watch the other game that my team wasn't in, but could understand there are others that might not for whatever reason (or I'd try to sell off the games I couldn't make in that ticket package... and maybe that's where the economy comes back into the discussion). Yup, Pitt-Nova was a great game to watch. I had Pitt making the Final Four in all my brackets (except the one the lets you update after each round... switched to Nova after watching their first weekend games) Being their last two really close losses, seeing Villanova and Missouri tournament performances makes me really wonder what Marquette could have done with a healthy James down the stretch????

    Yup, happens on DirecTV as well. But sometimes could find those FSN Brewers broadcasts on Extra Innings channels (without being subscribed to Extra Innings)

    After a round of layoffs several months ago, many of us that remained questioned management if they had consider furloughs across the board instead of permanent layoffs. So, instead of a second round of layoffs this month, our rotating 2 weeks furloughs have begun (that's about 5%, but I sense that the reasons of the group varied from saving your own, your friends and your distant co-workers jobs). Plus anniversary & holiday bonuses and summer picnic & Christmas parties have been suspended indefinitely.

    I was a little worried with Bush loading the bases and nobody out (albeit on stuff that didn't seem all that hard hit, and after running the bases), he gets two infield flies and strikes out the pinch hitter. With Macha now running the ship, what's his preferred description for a gritty battler?
  11. TSack27
    Experiencing several delays, but here's the Gameday link. Brewers up 5-0 after one inning, helped by a 3-run HR from Bill Hall. Hopefully this is a result of the Lasik surgery and new approach at the plate that will carry throughout the year, not just a fluke from spring training pitchers. EDIT: I apologize, my fault for the jinx, he followed that up with 3 strikeouts.
  12. TSack27
    I've noticed spring training box scores have been showing McGehee taking some late game innings at 2B. Anyone who has seen the games, how does he look over there? (Assuming everyone is healthy, I'll jump on the mcnaulty21 line-up bandwagon)

    DeRosa moved from left to third

    The quickest maybe be to check any filtering or water softening systems for sediment build up. A bit more complex would be checking the pressure reading coming out of the pressure reducing valve (city water) or pressure tank (well). If low, the pressure relief valve may have sediment to clean out (or replace if 'gone bad') and the pressure tank could have a leak in the diaphragm that would need the whole thing to be replaced. Disclaimer: I'm not a professional in this field, nor was I anywhere near a Holiday Inn Express last night. Just a trial-and-error, jack-of-all trades, master-of-none, that has replaced a few for friends & family (often getting helpful tips from do-it-yourselfer websites) and is just guessing at a few things to check out.

    Can't help you with the Dish contract issue, but can let you know that I don't have a landline with DirecTV, but still get all the sports stuff I want. I can't order through the remote control, but can off their website. I haven't gotten into the DVR thing, so don't know if that is landline related.

    I had the same problem with Charter. If you can do it yourself, see if you can negotiate a deal with them. I repeatedly tried to get them to bury the line as promised in the spring prior to putting in a new lawn. Since I was already doing the landscaping it wasn't a big deal, but I told Charter I thought it would only be fair if I got that month's service for free, we settled on something like knocking $30 of the bill.

    Question for everyone, not just Dmiles23 - is the recent economy going to hit basketball like it has hit baseball? While I expect the LeBrons and DWades (aka Sabathias & Teixeiras) get their big contracts from the big markets, will the Villanueva and Sessions level players be gambling on the market read and end up "settling" for low-rate contracts like Varitek and Wolf? Personally, I can't stomach the thought of paying $35 for upper deck tickets to a team that can pay a player $20M to not play, or when asking for $200+ to sit courtside yet wonder why a majority of their seats are empty when they don't regularly field an upper echelon team. Combined with a growing number of trades being based around expiring bad contracts, it has me believing basketball has the most messed financial structure among the major sports. Wonder if the current economic challenges of the country will inspire any market correction in basketball...

    You lost me at "pour out half the beer"

    Does half guessing count? - reserve middle infielder thread

    If it is just for the pitcher's spot (when he's reach his limit, not for situational hitting), I wonder if Macha is the type that would send Gallardo up there?

    On DirecTV, FSN-WI is only turned on for pre-game, game, and post-game shows. They don't currently carry other FSN related Wisconsin shows (classic games, str8 up, and other local programming). Everyone once in a while, I would have to search the Extra Innings channels to find a Brewer broadcast being shown on the opponents alternate channel when they'd screw up the blackout rules on 669.

    Unless things have changed in the past couple of years, that's exactly what I used to do with our seasonal employees. If you start seeing a lot of these, you could try to get your old roommate to fill out a "change of address" form at the post office and they will take care of it for you in the future.
