As we talked about earlier, the "YES" network sometimes gets blacked out on DirectTV.... and as of right now its blacked out!!!! AHHHHH Anyone know if that will change after the baseball game is over with and in time for BG?

Not sure, but it probably will be shown. The reason for the black-out has to do with the baseball game and the Yankees playing. We get various FSN stations where I work and most pro sports games are blacked out, even for replays. However, other programming goes on. The only way the Yanks aren't blacked out is if they are in New York. If you live within another teams market, you get blacked out, even if you live in the middle of nowhere and the nearest team is 500 miles away. For instance, Jamestown, ND won't get the Yankees, because they are in the Twins market, despite being 400 miles plus/minus.

MLB has the worst blackout rules of all time. I hope you get to see the game, my guess would be yes. Isn't NYY on Fox too right now?

Yes they do, and thanks I really want to watch it! I hope they dont black it out, and yes right now the Yankees are on and its blacked out! P.S. I'm listening to the Purdue game on the radio and with 4mins left to go in the 3rd quarter is Purdue 33 and (0-11) D-1AA Indiana State 28!!!!!
