4. Because they used to be owned

by the Tribune Broadcasting System, of Chicago Tribune fame and owners of a national cable station, like the Braves used to be on TBS?

Or do you mean on a FAUX game of the week broadcast?

I believe those FAUX games of the wek are regional. We are having the Twins v Angels as the weekly game out here on the Left Coast.

6. The same reason the Braves are on national televsion

And, the same reason every other MLB team appears on national television throughout the season. So, because a team isn't doing well this year, we shouldn't have a chance to watch them?

7. the Cubs are not on national television

the Braves are on national television and they happen to be playing the Cubs...

9. I presume you mean scheduled

to be on today, because right now TBS (Braves sometimes on Atlanta superstation) is showing a movie w/Julia Stiles and WGN,(Cubs formerly broadcast every game on this superstation) is showing a Clare Danes movie.

Go figure.

FAUX national broadcast to the Left Coast is Twins/Angels.


You guys are in the same universe as I am, right?
