    Where was Mr. Scully on MLBEI Fri?

    Why did directv black out FSN prime ticket for the Dodgers Brewers game Fri. and give us the FSN North/WI feed instead? The Dodgers were the home team. I never saw this happen before. Thankfully, Sat. nights game was on PT and the FSN WI channel was blacked out.
