Fortunately, I think I only have the Nationals and Orioles. But the point is, I couldn't watch those games, regardless--and it's not like I'm going to make a 5 to 6 hour road trip to catch a game absent them being on my MLB package.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Many years ago the blackout rules were meant to protect ticket sales. Now they're meant to promote television revenue. The idea is that you'll put pressure on your local station to carry your team's television package.
