There's a certain shitty irony in the fact that the only Tiger games that I cannot watch are those that are nationally televised. My MajorLeagueTV package is blacked out on Saturday afternoons because of national broadcasts, and now I can't watch the big game this afternoon.
Instead of showing the Tigers/White Sox, who are embroiled in a bitter division race, they're showing the Orioles/Red Sox. For a national broadcast, this might have been appropriate to do in 1998, but not in 2006.
Baseball really is pretty clueless about its fans. Now, instead of watching baseball, I've got the TV turned off and am furiously uploading the game updates so I can follow the big game.

You could watch a movie while you're waiting.
At least you can't complain the Tigers aren't getting any national TV exposure. It's just a cruel twist of location fate that you reside in a MLB market that's not Detroit.
Couldn't you listen to the game online? I know WXYT in Detroit has a listen live feature (www.wxyt.com), but I am unsure whether they turn it off during baseball games. That is what I had to do when I lived in Richmond and wanted to hear Spartan basketball. Though, sometimes I couldn't find a station with internet streaming carrying the game. Anyway, I listened to the Saturday Tigers game while working in the yard on the Kalamazoo affialate. Had the radio a bit too loud as it was echoing off of the neighbors' houses. Ooops. Kind of a bummer of a game anyway.
