metirish Old-Timey Member Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 IIRC Darling remarked that Bannister's 12-6 curve is not a pitch you see that much anymore in the game.....
Guest cleonjones11 Guests Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Curveball is less taught at the highs school level on up. Aaron Sele has squeezed 15 years out of that thing.
MFS62 Old-Timey Member Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Light at the end of the tunnel?I received a letter from my local cable company that said that as of May1, the Golf Channel will be moved to the premium sports tier. That will open up a spot next to MSG and YES in the non-premium sports station group.I can only hope they will use that spot for SNY.But, May1?Later
Elster88 Old-Timey Member Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Cablevision in southwestern CT: SNY is operational, channel 60.Caught a little of the ST game against the Cards. Was that really Ronnie Darling in the booth with Gary? He sounded exactly like Keith.
MFS62 Old-Timey Member Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 I don't have Cablevision. I have Charter Communications. I received an email a while back when I inquired about them getting SNY that said they were "in negotiations" with Cablevision. If that's true, it means they won't get a direct SNY feed, but get it from CV. Maybe that's thr reason for the delay.Later
Guest cooby Guests Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Better than my email to my cable company. They just said "nope".
Willets Point Old-Timey Member Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 You have to say "I want my MTV!"

Guest cooby Guests Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Nah, I'll get through it. I've gone years without them before And that was before the internet

metirish Old-Timey Member Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 ]Better than my email to my cable company. They just said "nope".Cooby not sure if you know this, but Comcast are in the process of buying Suscom so nothing will be added to Suscom till that deal goes through, form what I read that should happen in a few weeks,then you will have SNY as Comcast is part owner.
Guest cooby Guests Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 I certainly hope you are right! I knew Suscom was getting bought but I didn't know by whom.They might have mentioned that in their email. I'll wait and see, but thanks for the encouragement!
Guest KC Guests Posted March 29, 2006 Posted March 29, 2006 Not to get greedy or anything, but are we going to get an HDTV channel fromSNY in the near future? I get YES, FSNY, and MSG channels - why shouldn'twe get SNY as well?Last nights picture was probably the best I've received this season. The audio/video quality of most everything on this channel has kinda sucked early on.
Guest Johnny Dickshot Guests Posted March 29, 2006 Posted March 29, 2006 My system has reserved an HD channel for MTV & will broadcast home RS games there.
Guest KC Guests Posted March 29, 2006 Posted March 29, 2006 Cool, so it's time to start bugging Cablevision. (again)
Guest abogdan Guests Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 According to the Post, RCN just finished a deal with SNY.
Guest KC Guests Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 Just to keep the kvetching on a level playing field, we're getting an HDTV feed on the iOHD channel instead of "Carribean Express" whatever that is.

Guest cooby Guests Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 Bad news for me--I just got off the phone with my cable company and we are in the blackout area for MLB Extra Innings for both the Mets and the Pirates.However, it was discovered that we had been charged for an extra digital cable converter since December so we are getting a $35 credit, so that's something
metirish Old-Timey Member Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 Cooby did you ask them when Comcast are closing the deal for Suscom?
Guest cooby Guests Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 No, I completely forgot.We can pick up Cleveland and Boston, so I might still get it for my son, and hope that she's wrong about the Mets. I just find it odd that Yancy can get them and I cant.
Guest Yancy Street Gang Guests Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 ="cooby"]Bad news for me--I just got off the phone with my cable company and we are in the blackout area for MLB Extra Innings for both the Mets and the Pirates.Huh? That's nuts! I can't imagine that the Mets and the Pirates have any overlap at all. You can find a list of blacked out zip codes, by team, on MLB's web site. (Go to the part that gives information about the MLB TV package.) You may want to try calling again and talking to someone smarter. That's what happened with me. I was told that I was in a New York blackout area, but it turned out not to be true. If I'm not, you certainly shouldn't be.
Guest cooby Guests Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 No, this lady was very nice and very meticulous, I believe her. But I'll look on there, I didn't know there was a place for the garden variety consumer to look.The Pirates I expected, the Mets I was surprised.
Guest Yancy Street Gang Guests Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 The guy who gave me the bum information seemed nice and smart too. He had me thinking that MLB had extended its blackout radius, but that clearly wasn't the case.
Guest cooby Guests Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 Yancy I went to the mlb.com website and found the page about Extra Innings, but I don't see a place where you can check your zip code
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 Meanwhile, SNY has struck agreements with DISH, Blue Ridge Cable in PA, plus some small system in Jersey which I forget already (RNC?)On edit: It's Patriot Cable that's newly signed in New Jersey
Centerfield Old-Timey Member Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 Dish Network? For real? Last I heard they didn't carry YES. If that means they have the Mets channel but not the MFY channel, they might be my favorite distributor of programming ever.
Guest cooby Guests Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 Yeah, that's why we got rid of DishNetwork in the first place

Well I yelled to shut the guy up over me having DirecTV and Dish still being "in negotiations" with YES, then a little more than 3 years after its startup!
Guest Yancy Street Gang Guests Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 It's kinda buried on this page: http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/subscriptions/mlbtv.jspScroll down to where it says � Am I in a Local Live Blackout region?
