I have nothing against Jackie Robinson, just didn't feel like sitting through a 3 hour tribute with a baseball game going on in the background.
I used to be a big fan, but this Time Warner thing has left a bad taste in my mouth, and I don't think I am gonna even follow the team at all this year (which I really cant anyways).
Last time I really followed the team was 2 years ago, so I guess I am behind the times. But it is not clear to me if Ryu and Billingsley are even on the team anymore. Are they?
Agree that the constant interruptions to the game with Jackie Robinson stuff was way overdone.
If you want to watch the Dodgers, you can. It's a bit of a pain in the ass, but you can do it, and it will only cost you like $139 or something per year.
1) Subscribe to mlb.tv
2) Got to unotelly.com and sign up for a free account. This will allow you to fake your IP address to mlb.tv so you aren't blacked out from watching the games. It says you only get 8 days, but for some reason you can keep using it after your trial expires and it still works.
3) You can watch the games now in HD! You can, of course, then hook up your computer to your TV and watch it as if you have the channel in the first place. That's what I do.
Alternately, if you don't want to hassle with all of that (or pay the money), you can use strikeout.co to watch the games, but you will deal with a lot of popups, and it will attempt to thwart you from using adblocker software. Also, the connection is kinda spotty. But it kinda works.
