I scanned through all of the channels, several times, and the game was not on 
any of them. Only the Boston side, on the NESN... so at least we got the 
video. We don't care for their announcers, though, so we listened to the radio. Oh 
well, we lost this game anyway. ;)

At least tonight's game will be on ESPN... but we're not too crazy about 
their announcers, either... better than Boston's, but still don't hold a candle to 
the regulars on the YES network. 

Now that Jim Kaat has retired, we'll *really* miss him. He was excellent.

But ya know what, Tom... you've gotten me starting to wonder: if the Cable 
Company switched video feeds, that could explain it. Instead of picking up WWOR 
from NYC, they picked up some other Network feed that *wasn't* carrying the 
game! The lack of any mention on the radio or on YES of any technical 
difficulties makes me wonder. There should be a lot of seriously ticked fans in this 
area! (The YES post-game show came on, on schedule.)

Willie...
