Anytime somebody brings up more HD on TWC I'll bring up Fox Sports HD being useless. One of the biggest games for the Brewers and no HD! Very disappointing.

I thought I heard them announce that the May 21st Brewers Baseball broadcast was gonna air in HD on Fox Sports?

Apparently they don't even sell out the Cubs games anymore. They're not on local, MLBEI, FoxSN, FoxSNHD, Univision, and blacked out on WGN today. :D Seems like they're in good company being an undesired broadcast product as MLBEI is showing the Red Sox local broadcast feed of a game in Detroit where Arroyo had no-hitter for 7 1/3, lost on a solo hr, 3 hits through 8.

Were they blacked out on WGN feed or was WGN blacked out by D*/TWC in SE WI?  I cant see why WGN would black out an away game for their team.

It was TWC doing the blackout of an otherwise untelevised game.

All of the black out rules have to do with MLB and not the carrier.  MLB has the most strict blackout rules in sports.  

Even if you would have had the MLB EI package you would not have seen that game in WI yesterday.  It's pretty bad.  They won't even show the Brewer road games agianst the Reds for example, not televised here locally, with the Reds broadcast team even if you have the EI package.

I wish FSN would do more of the Brewer games in HD, but at least TWC carries the games that are in HD as opposed to Dish which doesn't at this time.  Although I think they are in some other markets around the country beginning to show FSNHD games.
