  1. When the hell is the MLB Network going to be available to non Rogers customers? This is going on what, 3 years now? What a friggin joke!!

  2. Who is Joe Siddall? Will Sportsnet be picking up any non blue Jays in spring training? Also is TSN still doing the ESPN games this year?

  3. Siddall was there all of last season, he mostly does color on the radio side, and whenever Buck or Tabler are away he slides into the TV broadcast. He had a very short cup of coffee in the Bigs and was not very good. He also frequently appears on various radio shows on the FAN590. TSN (like last year, pretty much the same) will have Monday & Wed night games of the week (from ESPN), along with the Sunday Night GOTW with Dan Shulman, John Kruk & Curt Schilling. I’m more interested in whether any other Cable or Satellite providers besides Rogers will be adding MLB Network, like I said in my earlier post, this has been in Canada now for 3 years and still nothing available on either Bell or Shaw Direct, which really sucks.

What do you think?
