MLB.com Owes me money

I was all set to watch the Yankees / Redsox game today, when much to my surprise, the game wasn't on TV. Of course, I could find 80 college football games -- but no Yankee's / Sox. This, of course, is part of what's wrong with America.

With no TV coverage, I thought I'd give this mlb.com website a try. After all, a friend of mine is a big fan of watching games on the net. Big mistake.

... So after paying $3.95 for a day pass, they tell me that the game is "blacked-out" because it's on national TV. IF IT WAS ON NATIONAL TV I WOULDN'T HAVE EVEN GONE TO THE SITE!

Of course, there's no option on the website to get my money back. And the "help line" isn't working. Good news, though: I can watch the another game like the Orioles ... At this point in the season, I'd rather watch paint dry. How can you even compare an inconsequential game to the Yankees / Sox?

The other option is that MLB.com will let me watch the game after it has ended. Give me a break. If I ever become the kind of guy who watches games after they are over, then it's over for me.

Let's see if Visa will join with me in refusing to pay for this travesty.
