Twins fan left in the dark

Rizon · 04-06-2004, 04:22 PM

as you know the Minnesota Twins put there own network together call Victory Sports. and most of the cable and sattalle companys do not have deal done yet. which i am mad about. it the fault of Pohlad who is asking for $2.20-#2.30 to put his channel on Cable company and directv and dishnetwork. i which the Twins were still on Fox Sports Net North. but they are not. so if no deal get done by Tuesday the Twins game won't be on tv here and i won'r get to watch them. errr.

the Twins suck anyways...

except for Torii Hunter and Joe Nathan who reside on my fantasy team.

they do not suck.

damn, i guess if I want Nathan to get saves, then the whole team can not suck either...

go TWINS!!

Rizon, you used the wrong alias.

Seriously though, I had no idea that you are a Twins fan.

Nope. But funny nonetheless. Yeah, we're pissed, I guess we don't need 3 threads were we are bitching about it, or even one thread. Oh well.

If you live in minnesota, you dont get a feed. Blackout restrictions apply

If you dont live in MN, its pretty good. Better than Radio.

Jonzard · 04-07-2004, 12:58 AM

damn, im in MN.... but I'll let my friend in Boston know

Hey, I also live in Minnesota. I'm in the metro areas, so I can't watch any Minnesota Twins games, except for the 27 games that will be on channel 12. If they don't get a deal then no one will go to the game because most people live far away and they don't have the time to go to the game. What I'm thinking about doing is signing up on MLB.com for that TV thing wher eu can watch games on the internet and then I would get a wireless modem and hook the computer up to the TV so you could watch it on TV instead of sitting infront of the computer for 2-4 hours watching the game. If I was Pohlad I would lower the asking price or else his team will earn absolutely nothing this year.

Jonzard · 04-07-2004, 12:21 PM

MLB thing has blackouts though for MN i think

THat isn't what I've heard/read. I've read that even if they average what they have in the past, they will still make more even if they don't get the contracts with Comcast and Time Warner, etc.

However, with games NOT being on TV, it would make sense that more people would go.
