Looks like the 04/13 Cubs/Phillies game is blacked out on Mediacom TBS. I hate this blasted rule. I live in Iowa and can't watch a baseball game played in Philly.  |

The game is blackedout in EACh teams home network. How is Des Moines/Ames in the Cubs home network?

Yet I'm only a 2.75 hour drive from Wrigley and I can watch it here in Wisconsin, yet your in the middle of Iowa and can't. Something is wrong (yet right for me) about that.

I get it here in St Louis. It's odd hearing Skip Caray do a Cubs game again!

'But I love the idea of the Sacrificial Lamb. . . There are consequences to actions. The point of the death of Christ is that Christ took on the sins of the world, so that what we put out did not come back to us, and that our sinful nature does not reap the obvious death. That's the point. It should keep us humbled. . . It's not our own good works that get us through the gates of heaven.'
Bono 3/12/04.

I hate this too. Luckily I'm only a casual Cubs fan and a die hard Twins fan and the Twins-royals game is on FSN Midwest! Francisco Liriano's first major league start of the season!

Is this a Mediacom thing...how is it when your 6 hours away from Chicago you are considered in a "home network"

Wasn't there something similar to this last year with Cardinal games?

If you have no pro sports franchise in your State you should never be blacked out was our arguement, we lost.....  | | | |

That's weird. It's on on Comcast Sports Net in eastern Iowa, although it's blacked out on TBS.

Dear MLB,
Your TV policies suck.
Sincerely,
Every baseball fan
