winninguglyin83 Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 (edited) already a big upgrade from Fox Sports. Just heard on Comcast, 20 spring training games will be telecast, starting on March 7. i'm sure all the games against the Cubs will be on. be a good way to get to see Brian Anderson, Brandon McCarthy and Ryan Sweeney because the young guys always finish out spring training games.

Wise Master Buehrle Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 That is VERY badass. Excellent work by Comcast there. Spring Training is great for holding over your baseball cravings until the season starts. I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have the MLB extra innings package, you should be able to. If you just have the sports pack, you can get comcast, but games are blacked out. Dunno if they will block out spring training games though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the extra innings package counts towards this. I recall watching some Red Sox ST games last year on NESN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonkeyKongerko Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Good god, how many were on FSN last year? 5? I like the more local touch and better picture quality of Comcast so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aboz56 Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 I'll probably be at some of these games, I'm planning on heading down for that last week of ST when the big boys get out on the field and rake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelasDaddy0427 Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 What scares me is my cable company still hasn't picked up comcast. I swear if I miss one Sox game i'm going to be so pissed off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Showtime Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 I was reading the press release over on whitesox.com about this, and not once did they mention who would be doing the games. You think it would mention Hawk, since I'm sure he'll be doing some if not all of the games... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aboz56 Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 This is somewhat off-topic, but on the XM deal, does anyone know if each team will have it's own station or will they only broadcast the home team feed for each game? I am hoping they just make a station for each team, but wasn't sure if that is how it's going to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems it's almost a given that Hawk and DJ will be doing Sox games. Wouldn't it be weird if Chimp and Stone started doing Sox games, since they left the north side?

Chimp went to the Braves, so that's out of the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
