4-2 steM Bottom 5 Villar just hit a two run jack. Rudy Owens could only get one out in the bottom of the first frame.

@Rudy_Owens:  First big league ST start & it was an awesome feeling. Rough go but have some stuff to work on and get back after it. Thanks for the support

speaking of on the air, Crane said today he has yet to even talk to Comcast about streaming games if a deal can't be worked out.  Why would they not at least be looking into contingency plans??

He was quoted on 11/15 that they were looking into the streaming option.  Now 108 days later he comes out and says they have yet to inquire about it?

I suspect the streaming option was a contingency if there was a divorce from CSNH.  Since they are still married, it would be pointless to ask them for permission.  Might even be perceived as bad form or worse during the bankruptcy period.

Look, I want a reason to be more upset about this TV thing, I don't need you interjecting logic or facts.

It's not like comcast would be inventing the concept of an open marriage.

After reading the article in the Chron, my points might be incomplete.  Crane mentioned a potential buyout offer from Comcast, and then entertained the possibility of lifting the blackout, effectively allowing transmission through MLB avenues.  The transmission through MLB would certainly undercut CSNH and might be perceived as bad form by the court, but if the blackout right is held by MLB and not CSNH, maybe it is actually possible without CSNH's permission.   However, it still seems kind of under-handed given the bankruptcy.
