White Sox blackout on CSN Chicago

I live in Southwest lower Michigan, just across the lake from Chicago and only about 1 1/2 hours away. Just now, I tried to watch the White Sox vs Colorado on Comcast Sports Chicago but it is saying it is blacked out in my area. It doesn't appear to be on any of my local channels like WGN, WCIU or anything else. Will all of the Cubs and White Sox games this season be blacked out here? Do I have to be living IN Chicago to get the games?

The entire lower peninsula are apparently required to be Tiger fans.
MLB blacks out all games except Detroit.

is CSN Chi one of your in-market RSN's?

I live in the same area as you do and yes they will blackout every game that is on CSN. Both Sox and Cubs. The "marketing area is determined by MLB and unfortunatley we live in a Tigers market. Two years ago I was able to watch them because I bought the extra innings package but that was taken away because Chuck didn't want to spend the money. The CSN blackouts don't make me near as mad as the ESPN or ESPN 2 games, all Cubs and White Sox games except the Sunday night baseball (exclusive to ESPN) will also be blacked out. Why does this make my blood boil you might ask? It's because if your buddy at work has comcast (cable) he was able to watch it.

Yes, CSN Chicago is one of my RSN's. Not to offend Tigers fans in my corner of Michigan, but the Cubs fans here FAR outnumber Tigers fans. In fact, many people from Chicago own vacation homes here. Looks like the NHL does not blackout Blackhawks games in my area, not sure about Bulls. By the way, I'm twice as close to Chicago as I am to Detroit and South Bend, IN which is 35 minutes south of me does not get the games blacked out!
This is a bunch of crap if you ask me

Brutal review of Netflix's series Below

Don't know if any of you have watched this series yet, it would be interesting to see if you feel this review was accurate. It was very humorous to listen to however.

If the review is like the article, oi! Eighteen paragraphs into the review and... all they've done is not really talk at all about the actual thing they are reviewing.

Halfway into the "written" review, I know more about how the writer "thinks" than I do about what they are writing about. I understand their politics, their self-overestimated understanding of film, their inability to be funny.

Takes about 22 paragraphs to get to one that starts "Anyway, the story kicks off...". Talk about Slop! 😂

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy - Paramount+

Season 2 order already in hand:

'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2, Tatiana Maslany to Guest Star in Season 1

I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

Here i am over a year later and just finished season 1. Not great but not as bad as I was expecting. Did not care for the barefoot captain stuff but overall ok. Actually looking forward to see what they did for season 2.

Yeah, the foot stuff was just nasty. I kept thinking of how dirty her feet would get traipsing around shoe-less. Funny, I love being shoe less at home and never wear shoes indoors in my home for long, but seeing her laying on all her furniture with her bare feet hanging out just kind of grossed me out.

There would still be dirt ,dust in the future I am sure. So walking around the station like she did she would get stuff on her feet. I am sure the robot vacuum is still going to miss stuff, with all those different alien species running around there.

Where is it going to come from -- specifically?

Why do you think cleaning technology won't improve in the next few hundred years? HEPA filtration was invented as part of the Manhattan Project.

I don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that. ;)

Say, I don't wear socks or shoes in my house either. But for a captain in Star Fleet it looks bad to be walking around the academy with no shoes. Gives off 1960 Hippie vibes.

Song Name Game Part 3!

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....
