What network is providing the WS feed for Canada's Sportsnet? It isn't Fox
and I thought that Fox had exclusive access? The logo does not indicated a
network. It only says MLB.

Almost certainly MLB International, then. It's what we get in the UK.

I haven't watched a game this year so far, but the last two years it's
been Gary Thorne and Rick Sutcliffe.

While McCarver is bad, Sutcliffe is a disaster.

Have you *heard* Rick Sutcliffe? I'll always have a fondness for the first
Oriole pitcher to win a game at Camden Yards, but as an announcer he's a
walking advertisement for the mute button.

SELIG MUST GO!!!!!!!!!! WTF?!?! If a home field advatntage is an evil thing,
why do we play a game to decide it?!? They built a damn stadium according to
MLB's specifications, played a whole season and two playoff series in it,
now some asshole is going to tell them how they should use their
facility?!?!? Since the Astros wanted the rood closed, and the White Sox
didn't care, they should have told Selig to go reproduce himself and closed
it!!

Dave O'Brien has replaced Gary Thorne this year.

MLBI, incidentally, is originally the US Forces service, and, although it
is no longer funded by the US military, it still has a lot of the
non-commercial tradition that comes from a military background.
