Around SBN: Knicks 90, Raptors 87: "Shump and Lin wouldn't let us lose."

MLB.COM

ok I bought the spring training package from MLB.com and so far its kicked ass. I woke up today way way to hung over to really watch the A's VS Angels game live, but you can go back and watch a video clip of the game once its over. So that got me thinking, If I order it during the Regular season, then Even games that Im at work for, ill still get to see because of the archive. Now the whole point of my Diary is this. During the Regular season, since I live in Vallejo, how many games will be blacked out? Every home game? or every game not on television. And now say for instance the A's were playing the Royals. If the game was blacked out A's fans,  could I watch the Royals feed of the game? And once a game is played, say it was blacked out, can you watch the archive version of it, or is that game forever lost to local A's Fans? If any of yall could answer one or many of these questions I would much appreciate it. Thanks a million. Angels suck.

Every A's game will be blacked out

Home or away, televised or not.  Them's the rules.

last season.

I was able to watch a lot of A's games on MLB.com.  I don't know if I was the exception, but I am in the blackout area (Fresno) and I was able to get over half the games on the computer.  And yes you can go back and watch the games in the archive, even if they are blacked out during the live feed

Red Sox still suck! A's in '07.

Does anyone know

whether you can copy the archived games to another device?  I have a portable DVR that allowed me to watch late games (I'm in NY) recorded from Extra Innings on my commute the next morning.  If I can copy archived game files to my DVR, then losing EI won't be a disaster for me (though it still sucks).

I live in Sacramento

and all the games were blacked out a few years ago when I subscribed.  Unless you are interested in, say, Mets vs. Pirates games or something similar, it's a waste of money for A's fans living kind of close to the Coliseum.

Even though A's games are blacked-out...

...last year, if you logged on to mlb.tv's game link about 20-30 minutes before game time, you could see the game when it started.  Just had to make sure you didn't log off in the meantime, or lose your internet connection, or close the mlb.tv window.

That is exactly what I did.  And it worked most of the time.

No kidding.

I hope you guys aren't waiting on me to start one.

Are you kidding?

I've been waiting for you to start a link dump for 5 months.
