2016 MLB Season - Curses, foiled again?

[joecct]

Opening day will arrive in a few days. For us old farts, and to eddicate you young'ns, peruse this map of Upper Manhattan / South Bronx

On the right, in the South Bronx (birthplace of my father - 692 Melrose Ave.), you can see Yankee Stadium III. Now follow the road over Macombs Dam Bridge and you'll be on 155th Street. You'll see a subway stop 155th St [B,D]. That housing complex to the left was where the Polo Grounds was. How lucky NYC baseball fans were from 1949 - 1958, when at least 1/2 of the World Series was played in NYC.

It's a long season and anything can happen, so here's to a Cubs - Red Sox World Series being snowed out.

This is likely my favorite sports photo ever. Yankee Stadium with the Polo Grounds in the background.

Subscribed because I now don't have to take responsibility to pay attention at ball games.

If the Baseball Gods would grant me a favor (since I will not be receiving many favors from them for the next several years), I am asking that the one feed listed for the LA-SD game tomorrow on the MLB Extra Innings free preview be the Los Angeles feed, and not the San Diego feed. Thank you for your consideration.

I was out of the loop. I thought only the Mets and Royals were playing today. And the Tigers aren't playing until Tuesday.

What prompted the change of the traditional Opening Day schedules?

Obama, probably.

TWC's schedule only has one feed listed for that game.

Well, tonight we got to see game 6 of the World Series. Other than a Familia meltdown it had everything from the last October classic, right down to KC's relentless pressure and the Mets cracking under it.

I'm not even mad; I'm kind of amazed that after 5 months both teams could show up and play the exact same game again.

Raleigh, NC is blacked out from Orioles (308 miles away!) games because MLB is stupid.

Atlanta is 408 miles, I wonder if that is also blacked out.

Don't move to Iowa then... Up to 12 teams are blacked out for them...
