I understand why local games are blacked out (REAL local games, not the "Las Vegas is the home market for six different teams, four of which are not available on local cable" crap). The Fox stuff not so much.

I'm not quite sure why there isn't some sort of deluxe package for an extra $50 bucks or so that gets you around the Saturday blackouts and gets people their local games if they've cut the cord. If people are willing to pay for blackout circumvention, why on earth wouldn't you arrange it so they can? The answer to all of this is, of course, "MLB/Selig are complete idiots."
