I went to only my second Padres game of the season, a total that pales in comparison to the 20+ I made last summer. This occasion was made even more momentous because I am 99% sure I saw J Dub and Dex on the "flex cam" in the middle of the game (there was a third guy sitting with them.. JBox, or just a random?... I didn't get a good look at him). Am I going crazy from GLB withdrawals or were you guys really on the "flex cam" at Petco? And although my GLB contributions have been nonexistant since mid-June.... I am here in spirit and I read whenever I can get a chance. In conclusion, hello to everyone, I love Jody Gerut, and go Padres.

Alright. So as I have bitched about repeatedly on this site, my home in North County gets DirecTV and not Cox Cable- thus rendering me unable to get Channel 4 and any Padres broadcasts, ever.

My parents have decided to bite the bullet and get either MLB.TV or DirecTV's MLB Extra Innings for this season; obviously, I am pulling for MLB.TV, as it would allow me to access the broadcasts while I am off at college. But, if my parents live in North County and they buy MLB.TV, aren't they blacked out for every Padres game (or, at the very least, every home game)? That would obviously lead to a purchase of Extra Innings and very little baseball for me. Please help, Ballers!
