Last night Fred Rogan from nbc 4 said they're working on a deal that could bring the Dodgers back on tv.




Sadly , it looks like its dead:

It was dead before it was offered. It's a one year deal. And they know full well that changes everything. Any provider that takes it gives the power to TWC at that point. Since the customers will have it and lose it if a new deal isn't reached. And guess what then it would be at the stupid prices they've wanted all along.
They overpaid to get the channel in a market that had just added a new sports only channel. And I don't blame the other providers for not wanting to pay it. Those costs will go right to the customers and most people are trying to shrink cable bills right now. So doing something that forces you to raise them is a nice way to lose customers.

Should they not report on facts and newsworthy events involving the Dodgers?

Since the O'Malleys sold the team there hasn't been much positive stories to report on involving the Dodgers.

Not much since 1988.

I might have to swing over there and watch some practice if they allow it.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

This is too funny.

Clearly he took advantage of that athletic scholarship at USC.

you could understand and translate that? you're a better person than I.

I'm just glad he didn't let basketball get in the way of his higher education

[The Night King]

Well, that was ****ed up.

I can't believe that just happened. Horrible decision.

 

[Dawdler]

I can't believe that just happened. Horrible decision.

I understand the decision, Stripling is coming off major elbow surgery and was going to be limited to 100 pitches, I'm ok with that, its bringing in a **** pitcher like Hatcher that I have issue with and to top it off he gets his manger kicked out.

Hatcher has his moments but his bad outings out shine any good outings he has, which seem to be not very often

Taken deep by the ####ing backup catcher.

that makes it worse, and now Baez, not feeling too confident that the outcome will favor the Dodgers

 

[The Night King]

And dodger hitters couldn't do ****. I'm starting to feel the frustration I felt last year with this team.
