Ummmm okay ESPN where the hell is my game???

[Reverend_Smitty]

I'm stuck in South Jersey and I want to watch my Mets on opening day. The schedule says ESPN is carrying the game but right now they aren't showing it, instead they have an ESPN News feed on. What the hell?!? It can't be blacked out because we don't get SNY down here so I shall repeat...what the hell?!?

[azmouse]

1. It's on here. ESPN.

Maybe it is blacked out where you are.

[Reverend_Smitty]

2. I don't understand why that would be...

If I were back home and in the Mets network viewing area, I would understand...I wouldn't want to watch it on ESPN anyway. But I'm in south Jersey...Phillies country so I don't know why it would be blacked out

[azmouse]

3. It really sucks that the game isn't on for you.

I'd be really pissed if I was looking forward to seeing my team play on opening day and the network messed up somehow.
The Dbacks game starts here in 2 hrs. I can hardly wait!

[nclib]

4. It's blacked out in North Carolina.

We're nowhere near either team.

edit: We have Directv. I don't know if that makes a difference.

5. Sorry.

I know how it feels. My podunk college town's WB affiliate isn't carrying the Cardinals game. It's radio for me. :D

[_testify_]

6. I'm listening to it on MLB.com

$15 for the whole season!

[THUNDER HANDS]

7. you can't get it if you have SNY

due to blackout rules that apply. Its the same reason you can't get Braves games on TBS in NY when the Mets play the Braves. Oh David Wright just hit a home run. Yay. 3-1 Mets.

8. If you want it on the radio here ya go

www.thegamelive.com

13. Thats an amazing site Kleeb!

I'm bookmarking it for future reference...now I don't have to pay for the gameday audio. Thanks!

[JohnKleeb]

14. No problem but it may be a little off

I've used it for Steelers games during the football season and it was a few mins behind but it was great too. I got the link from someone here in the lounge awhile back when I couldnt find an Orioles game on the radio. Glad you guys beat the Nats, I mean I dont hate the Nationals but I am getting sick of them.

[Reverend_Smitty]

18. it beats reading the gameday ticker

[JohnKleeb]

20. Yeah it sure does

Its really cool, I think I am gonna be using it more than ever this year because of the stupid Nationals. God why did we have to get the Expos.

[KitchenWitch]

9. I am so sorry!

It is a good game!

[Oeditpus Rex]

10. Here's what's on the Gameday Audio page:

Our Gameday Audio partner Akamai Technology is currently experiencing technical difficulties. This problem will be resolved shortly.

Y'got 10 minutes, muthafuckas. :grr:

[NJ Democrats]

11. I couldn't either

I know I'm in the black out zone, but I don't get Sports Net NY.

[Reverend_Smitty]

12. it's pretty damn stupid if you ask me...

I had to rely on the Gameday on the website...it's just not the same. I'm in Glassboro right now, where are you at?

I guess it really doesn't matter now because METS WIN!!!! :woohoo:

They just better not be blacked out on Thursday night when they are on again

[KitchenWitch]

15. I am so bummed out

The Twins' Thursday night game is blacked out here, so I will just have audio and the gameday diamond thingy!

[JohnKleeb]

16. what about the radio?

Do you get the local twins radio cast where you are or maybe you can try out that site I linked to.

[KitchenWitch]

17. I get radio

but I have much difficulty listening since both the play by play guy and the analyst are drunk by the second inning.

[JohnKleeb]

19. Frigging drunks

Hmmm dunno, just curious who are your play by play guys? Anyone famous?

[KitchenWitch]

21. John Gordon (I think he used to do radio for the Yankmes years ago)

and Dan Gladden.

[JohnKleeb]

22. Dan Gladden the former twin?

[KitchenWitch]

25. One and the same!

[GalleryGod]

24. Who would've guessed you'd be "stuck" in South Jersey

when the Mets were good again....should've gone to William Patterson, thus, avoiding Mets blackouts and being STUCK down here.

[WilmywoodNCparalegal]

23. Get XM Radio

you can listen to all MLB games regardless of where you live (no blackouts). XM also has NHL hockey, the ACC (football/basketball), Pac-10 etc. and it will carry English and Spanish broadcasts of the World Cup in a few months.
