7:05 is late, ugh.
YES Network again? I swear every game is on some random channel now. The DIRECTV free trial sounds nice but “blackout concerns” is what always makes me mad lol.
Wait so is it actually free or not, like if it says free trial then it’s just gonna cut off mid-inning? Also I don’t get why “blackout concerns” is listed as “No” like that doesn’t even make sense. I’ll just watch it on some sketchy website I guess.
Bronx showdown… okay but I’m mostly here for the schedule part. They play tomorrow too, like back to back, and I’m trying to plan work around it. 1:35 on Friday too? That’s brutal if you have a normal job. Anyway YES Network better not buffer on my TV.
