Espn Blackout Stinks!

[Sat Junkie]

I was disappointed Sunday and Monday because I couldn't watch the Yankee, Red Sox opener and the Mets, Reds. I don't have another provider so I was unable to see a sold out game at Yankee Stadium, as for the Mets and Reds I wasn't going to drive from CT to Cincinnati to watch the game. I don't understand why the 2 games were blacked out! I could understand if Yes Network, NESN or MSG were available on Voom!
Any one have a good explanation?

I have no idea on the Mets except that the right were owned by MSG.

The Yankee right Sunday were owned by Yes and ESPN picked it up ntionallybut had to black it out in NY due to contract provisions with MLB.
