Is there any word on MLB Extra Innings on cable?

The last I heard negotiations were extended until yesterday and supposedly the talks were serious.

"Another source said the parties hoped to wrap up a deal by Monday but that there were "no assurances."

Hopefully this deal will get done. I'd rather watch the games on my big screen rather than being tied down to my computer. If anyone hears anything about a deal, please post it. Now let's get this season rolling already.

Haven't heard anything

I was wondering that myself. Fuck Direct TV by the way.

Apparently they want to make a deal

since they have now dropped any type of deadline.

"An In Demand spokesperson confirmed that talks are continuing today but declined to comment on the status or tenor of discussions. The fact that talks continue without deadline looks promising."

Now let's get this done so I won't miss too many games.

Agreed

I am holding off on ordering through MLB.TV until I get final word on the In Demand. This sucks.

Worst Person N 'da World

Olbermann actually named MLB one of the worst persons in the world, cuz of the cable fuck-up

This comment was brought to you by the NY Yankees - America's last Empire.

Olbermann is an ass

I hate him on MSNBC and I hate him on ESPN radio.
Bring back Harold Reynolds and Rob Dibble.

You sir

are completely wrong. Olbermann on MSNBC is the shit.

You must be one of the four

His ratings are in FREE fall. He blows. If he donned a dress he'd be perfect for The View.

Agreed

Olberman is a jackass. Although, I must admit that you are the only person I have ever heard actually request Dibble. He makes Jeff Brantley sound intelligent.

Olberman may

be a jackass, I like him though sometimes because he gives the Yankee perspective on talk radio. When he comes on, Dan Patrick bashes the Yanks. Dan Patrick is someone who got his ass kicked everyday in school. I can't stand him.

Great Success!

The special comments on Bush are awesome

Dibble Dribble

Dibble is actually a friend of mine. He got screwed by ESPN. He's really funny in the blue-collar sense. He didn't translate in the uber corporate world of ESPN. He's better suited for FOX. Great guy, though. Really funny when you get a few beers in him.

NYT says the deal has been struck

for InDemand to be able to sell it's packages on cable.

Here's the link: http://tinyurl.com/245xoh

I'm just so glad I have YES.

Finally some good news

I didn't think it was scientifically possible, but John Kerry actually did something right. It looks his pressure worked and they will have it on cable.

At least that's one more thing right

than Bush has ever done.

They are tied at one

Bush making Roberts Chief Justice was a very good move, so I would call it a push.

What is wrong with Roberts?

He is not an uber conservative and he was probably the best lawyer in the country before he became a judge. The man is a fucking genius.

Roberts

I actually think it was a good choice. Not as far leaning as Thomas, way better than Harriet Meyers. Roberts is a constitutional law genius. It's what we need.
