I live IN St. Louis and the blackout rules are still stupid. Surprise surprise, I can't go to every game. But I would happily watch most games and their accompanying commercials.

The rules are just detrimental to local teams as far as fandom goes. Thankfully I’m in Chicagoland and get the Birds through MLB extra innings. However, I now need another paid app for the Bulls or if my wife wants to watch the Sox. I’m in the catbird seat as far as my Cardinals watching, but being a local Bulls fan, I guess I just become a fan of the NBA, which I already was and less of a dedicated must see as much Bulls as my marriage will allow.
I've said it before. I am 4 hours away. I never hop on over and watch a game in person. It takes logistics. A hotel room. If it is a work day then scheduled time off. MLB is just plan stupid in the way of dealing with tv viewership.
I was just thinking, I care less about what happens in baseball today than ever before. I haven't looked at the WS. I was going to go to a StL game in Detroit. My son lives in the area and it was a way to go to another ballpark. The game was rained out and I gave my son the tickets so he and his wife could go to a game. It wasn't going to be the make up game. I didn't have time for it. Detroit has a stupid way for using the tickets. They had to walk to to the Will Call booth and see if there were seats available. No way to pre-plan. Get a sitter for the kids or anything. Just show up and they will let you know if you can watch the game or not.
Thought you Cards might find this interesting.
They won't re-sign Lynn but I'd guess they pick up Gibson's option because he's cheap for what he is. The idea is that if the team isn't contending you can at trade him at the deadline for decent return.
I think Buehler is likely to opt for a one-year deal and try and rehabilitate his value for a big payday next offseason. Would be great if we could get him, but wouldn't be surprised if he re-signed with the Dodgers.
