Pirates Game 2 Thoughts: 6-5 Win over Cardinals

[knowitall]

And there are MLB teams that have to compete for time with both NHL and NBA teams right now. I just heard the Diamondback announcer tell fans where to go to listen to Friday's game.

This may be one of the dumbest conversations that have emerged on here. If you love baseball watch the games, if you don't the shut up and watch your stupid NBA.

The dumbest conversation and it didnt come from me?

Not available on Directv either, w/o paying for premium HD coverages. Sucks. Marte always seems to start slow. It'll come. Better to be 2-0 than the other way around.

Could of sworn this week was Directv's Extra inning preview week. Pretty much the only week where you can get all the games for free unless you pay for the expensive package.

Maybe for you, but when I clicked the channels shown as carrying the game, I got a message saying I was not authorized to receive those channels. I already pay $97 / mo. for the top package minus premium channels (what a joke), and PPV. Dear GOD please give us 'A La Carte' viewing!

Nobody HAD to watch the game last night. You HAVE to take insulin if your diabetic, you HAVE to have dialysis if your kidneys have failed, but watching the Pirates isn't a requirement.

For those of us that don't live in misery and enjoy Pirates baseball, we decided to try to find the game last night from the comforts of our own home.

This is one of the reasons I don't have cable/satellite. I can stream anything I desire and never have to miss a game. I watched the Fox Sports Missouri feed. It was very solid, they weren't "homers" like some announce crews.

knowitall's official stance on things, correct me if I'm wrong...

There should be no playoffs in high school sports.
All schools and school districts are equal and a kid from inner city Harlem has the same academic advantages as anyone else.
D2 colleges and below shouldn't sponsor sports.
And it's dumb to have more than 80 baseball games on TV.
