It is really sad that MLB has allowed other teams to drive them off of TV. (I really hate the Yankees) I would hope that someone would see the error of all of this and figure out a way to get all of the teams back on TV without having to pay an outrageous price to see them play. Is it greed that is running the show or is it poor management?

As a BoSox fan, I can get maybe two dozen games here in SW Florida. Luckily, Tampa is local, so I can watch those match-ups. WGN carries the White Sox. Otherwise, it's FOX, FNS, ESPN or ESPN2, if they're carrying a game. But, having rooted for Boston for going on 55 years, that enough to keep the fix going. Maybe if I won a lottery I could afford one of the MLB TV packages. But then, if I won a lottery, I could afford to go to all the game in person!! (Praying for a visit from the Lottery Fairy, though the one that lives in FL is only a statewide one and consequently cheap.) I feel your pain, brother.
