That's about the only advantage. XM has every MLB game. If/when the merger goes through, it won't matter. But I doubt that you've actually compared the two, anyway. Pocono Chris: Sirius has Stern.

On the other hand, baseball hell is a home game at the Oakland Coliseum on a windy and cold night when beer is being sold at half-price.
