He could watch his beloved team at least 1-2x/week. His weekends were lovely. And they always were chasing #8 spot in the western conference. Sooo...good luck. by the way, I still don't get the whole red sox thing, but I guess I need to pretend more. When my DH wasn’t working so hard we used to pay $160/year for NHL center ice.

I understand Fox and ESPN not wanting anything else to play but this really hurts the fan. In all seriousness, the Mets are gonna take it all this year anyway (I'm a huge Bill Buckner fan!). Sorry, couldn't help it. The Bosox have actually done a great job building up their farm system and they may have a very competitive teams for years. Seems they took the philosophy of Billy Beane and mixed it with the cash of the Yankees. And it's worked twice for them so far.

However, I am a sucker for tennis and specifically Wimbledon. A few years back there were rumours that the BBC were going to lose the broadcast rights and they would pass to a satelite company. I would definately have subscribed so that I could watch my favourite sport for 2 weeks a year, but fortunately the BBC are still broadcasting it.

I'm a Yankee fan and we're lucky to get the games on local cable here in Central New York. I'd probably not get the package, and either just read about the game or listen to it on the radio.

I know how painful it can be to deal with tv services and their antiquated programming structures. Best of luck to you in getting to watch your games and to the RedSox for the 08 season.
