FAQs

At least I think they should be.

Cycle alerts

Yellow alert - Player needs triple for cycle
Orange alert - Player needs double for cycle
Red alert - Player need single for cycle

If a player needs a home run for the cycle, the level of the alert varies depending upon the determination of the Cycle Detection Warning System, which is headquartered in Thief River Falls, Minnesota.

For the love of all that is holy, how can we be stuck with TV and mlb executives who can't figure out a better solution than this:

If a game on TBS goes long and cuts into time for the next game, TNT will show the other game.

Ridiculous.

2. Sam DC

Boy that's strange. Where'd my other comment go?

It said something like -- "they're gonna cut away from extra inning playoff games?!?!!"

Just shoot me.

Don't open your door, then.

I believe TBS will cut away from a game that is going long depending upon if the game that is about to start involves your local team.

I'm open to suggestions.

Does that mean that almost the entire playoffs are only on cable or sat.? Also, no HD for all but the World Series? I'm confused.

2007-09-28 19:09:40

8. Bob Timmermann

Some cable systems are adding TBS HD.

Mine is not.

Fox will have the World Series.

2007-09-28 19:15:29

9. Bob Timmermann

TBS will show the NLCS. Fox will show the ALCS.

They will switch next year.

I am an idyit.

Nuff said.

So all I need to do know is figure out what channel TBS and TNT are on my cable system . . . and then remember what those numbers are.

TBS is 63 for me and TNT is 40. But TNT is in HD, not TBS. So I can also look in on 415.

14. Linkmeister

TBS is 551 out here; darned if I know what TNT is.

I find it nearly unconscionable that MLB would ignore people who can't afford cable.

14 Unfortunately, if seems like a bone-head move by the MLB, but in fact is probably a testament to the fact that networks are not willing to supersede their valuable prime-time lineup with béisbol.

9 I'm surprised Fox is alternating, given that the Yanks and Red Sox are in the AL.

Back in the mid-seventies Stockton was doing Red Sox games with Hawk Harrelson. Grim times. And I still can't believe the Sox sent Sean McDonough packing for Orsillo.
