Unfortunately the Yankees play ALOT of 1pm Saturday games. But FOX has automatic blackouts for EVERY GAME on Saturday that starts before 7pm. Hence it drives my crazy that I pay for a baseball package and can’t watch the Yankees on Saturdays even when FOX does not have them as the “Game of the Week”. TBD does not get blackout rights for any games on Sundays. And baseball is too much of a regional game that I don’t care for Cubs/Cardinals or Tigers/Indians that Fox is showing. I’m not sure what braintrust thought people will watch another team if there’s is blackout. This ain’t the NFL. ________ I feel your pain Kevin. Same thing happens to me in Iowa. I'm guessing you get them on Fox when they do happen to be the Game of the Week though, right? They aren't on local Fox probably 80% of the time when they are the Game of the Week because of the Cubs/Cards/Twins/White Sox/etc. Fortunately my dad got a waiver a while back so he gets Fox NY on his dish so I can at least go over to his house to watch them when they are actually one of the Games of the Week. On a plus note, at least they allow me to watch the games on the Yankees network now when they're on the road (save for my in-market games against the Twins/Royals/White Sox/Brewers/Cubs/Cardinals). That was a nice change the last couple years. KevinP February 3rd, 2010 at 4:33 pm

No way. That fancy statistical analysis also created huge profits, don't forget. There's no going back, Black Swan events notwithstanding. “with all the problems caused on wall street with the fancy statistical analysis that created huge losses for the billionaire owners maybe they’d like to have things be a little simpler on their baseball teams.”
