AL CENTRAL

Dang Twins 4-0 in spring training

It was nice to drive around doing errands listening to the Twins game....and then realizing that there is a fresh 8+ inches of snow on the ground from Thursday :mad:
 
Jimbo, I take it you have to be subscribed to the Best of XM package if you have Sirius?

I currently subscribe to Sirius, but thought the MLB package was exclusive to XM? Of course now that they merged, I have the ability to get it, but I think I still have to subscribe to the "best of XM" package for an additional fee.

The MLB package is NOT in the Best of XM package. Only "MLB HOME PLATE" is part of it

Wow, thats it ?
I would have guessed that when the XM guys got the NFL games, that surius would have gotten MLB.
Like I mentioned before, I never looked it up because it didn't pertain to me.

Keep in mind , there are still plans to eventually be able to do ala carte down the road, at least thats what the XM guys told me.

According to the link you posted they also get MLB Home Plate:
MLB
MLB Home Plate Channel 210
Expert hosts cover the bases with trade rumors, breaking news, injury reports and scores from the day pitchers & catchers report, through the World Series and right on into the offseason. MLB Home Plate is talking baseball 24/7/365.

Wonder if they get the games as well ?

Now that I think about it, I currently get the NFL with my best of Surius, do I get the NFL GAMES ?

Anyone know for sure ?

Ok, I found that in the BOS package the NFL games are included as well as the weekly programming.


Every NFL game. Every week. Get live NFL play-by-play wherever you are. Plus 24/7 commentary, analysis, and exclusive NFL talk on channel 124, SIRIUS NFL Radio. You'll also hear college sports play-by-play from top conferences.

I have not found on the sirius web page about MLB games yet, but still looking.

I haven't liked Sirius since the merger, I'm thinking of canceling Sirius. They expect a person to pay $10 more for Oprah?:confused:

It's just not worth it.
