A Harrisburg-area fan enjoying his first O's game on TV in years

Called off sick today (legitimately) only to find that MASN is in the Comcast Harrisburg package starting today! Best sick day ever :)
I used to get DishNetwork years ago simply because they would carry O’s TV in Harrisburg. Lately, I’ve relied on the free At Bat game of the week to show the O’s on my phone.
Seriously, the last time the O’s were on TV here was the old Yankee Stadium’s final game. Since then, the few times the O’s were on national/regional TV were all blacked out.
OK, off to watching Berken

Bringing out the big guns today.

In other news: Last night I had a dream that Felix Pie hit 2 homeruns in a World Series Game 2 loss to the LA Angels of A (I know, but it’s a dream, what do you want from me?). We were up 10-4 going into the 9th and lost on a series of errors and freak plays. I started throwing chairs in anger.

Thats not entirely true

Comcast invested in SBNation, but i dont think they’re any where close to a primary shareholder. (apparently SBNation was also launched by Markos Moulitsas, which i had no idea about).

No more evil than the satellite co's

Been w/comcast for 9 years w/out issue. All providers the size of comcast, directv, etc are bound to have some corruption. It’s easy for the media to ignore an upstart like directv (w/ads that basically say that cable customers are idiots) and magnify the wrongdoings of a provider w/a much longer history and the target of these mudslinging campaigns. Besides, I’m not paying $60 more a mo. for the same service w/a dish.

by waverider on Mar 31, 2010 3:05 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions  

Comcast fucking sucks

And DirecTv is cheaper than Comcast for most DVR and HD packages.

And I’m STILL pissed Comcast signs an exclusivity agreement with my county so no other cable company can come in, then refuses to fucking wire 40% of the county.

Comcast fucking sucks.

Correction: "person"

I guess if you get down to it, I didn’t see them escort him out of the building.
But the supervisor I talked to told me the guy was gone & he was as angry about what he’d done as I’ve ever heard anyone. And when I got the supervisor on the line to complain he knew who I was talking about before I could say his name…

I'm too cynical to believe that

Not that the situation didn’t happen exactly as you say, but that the person was actually fired. Although maybe CSRs are a dime a dozen – maybe they’re treated as bad as they treat the customers.

They didn't invest, to my knowledge

(unless I’m in the dark) they’re just sponsoring the NFL blogs and MLB blogs that are in a certain market. You may have seen an advertising type post on other SBN blogs if you frequent them, but I wasn’t putting that on here.

Comcast Interactive Capital,

Comcast’s venture capital arm, invested 8 million in the most recent round of financing towards the end of last summer.

Correction: 8 million was for the full round, CIC only led the round and contributed a fraction of the full 8 million. not sure what their actual share was.

you really aren’t helping Berken out there, you know?

by Andrew_G on Mar 31, 2010 1:51 PM EDT reply actions  

Doesn't it seem just a little

um, irresponsible to leave Berken out there at this point? He must be at around 60+ pitches by now, when the plan was to get him 50. Are we trying to break his arm? Not that I’m against that.

last season's numbers

there’s just so many things wrong with ST numbers (like, for example, how skewed they get from one outing). They’re worthless.
