I can't watch this whole Oakland series because they aren't showing the games on U-Verse. **** ****

I **** hate our bullpen. It doesn't help that Scioscia puts guys in position to fail. Jepsen in the 8th with a one run lead? You gotta be **** kidding me. This teams' bullpen is horrible and Scioscia's decision making isn't any better. Downs is the setup man. He can pitch 1.1 inning. ****

Yeah, I know a bunch of Angels fan up in arms over this, and the majority switched their cable providers. lulz I'm not going to go that far, but I am pissed (at least it's against the A's).

"Spoke with the U-Verse rep. They are working on negotiations. FS West was carrying 150 games this season, U-Verse customers will see 125 of the 150 if they are not successful in their negotiations.

It has been so long since we didn't get the vast majority of games, (and ALL HOME GAMES) that I forgot what it was like. I can deal with 125. U-Verse is great for a lot of things, like say flipping channels. You can't do that on DirecTV.

It's DVR is great, it's OnDemand is good, so I have really never had a complaint until now.

Three of the 25 missed games are the three against Oakland MTW this week, so that's ok. Hopefully it will be better later in the season."

at least that sounds like an actual response.

here's what i got:

Thank you for taking the time to contact us.

We apologize for the inconvenience and do understand your concern about specific games on Fox Sports West. We are glad to check the Angels games for you. Please be advised that based on our game finder, the Oakland Athletics at Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim will shown on channel 417 Fox Sports West. It will be on the said channel on April 18 at 3:00 pm and 10:00 pm Eastern Time, April 19th at 3:00 am, 3:00 pm and 10:00 pm Eastern Time and April 20th at 3:00am. However, the channel 417 is actually a part of Dish’s Multisport Package which you can add at only $9.00 a month.

Also, please be informed our agreements with broadcasters require us to blackout some sporting events from time to time. These blackout rules are controlled by the leagues, sports associations and networks that purchase the rights to the broadcasts. Often, if a game is blacked out on one of your channels, you may be able to view the game on another DISH or local broadcast channel.

For help finding which channel you can view your game on, please use the "Where's My Game" tool at http://www.mydish.com/gamefinder/.

these guys have no f'ing idea what the issue even is.

Bunch of ratards.

"Here is what I found out (which was very little)
Tonight (4/17) & tomorrow (4/18) 'blacked-out' on Uverse
Next blackouts will be 5/14 & 5/21 & 5/22.

She told me 25 games total will be blacked out but they are in 'negotiations' to resolve it. She also said they plan to update website with dates of blackouts (but no clue when...)"

Luckily the Lakers are playing tonight.

Post #38 » by **TyCobb** » Sun Apr 22, 2012 3:20 am

Yes, this feels so good.

Post #39 » by **dockingsched** » Sun Apr 22, 2012 4:07 am

nice to win two in a row and a series, but damn if all these LOB's aren't frustrating.

Post #40 » by **TyCobb** » Sun Apr 22, 2012 9:33 pm

Great outing by Haren today. 7 IP, 4 H, 1 BB, 9 K. Let's hope the bullpen doesn't blow the 1-0 lead for him.
