It's gotta be live

One of the big disadvantages to being in Ireland is that our source for baseball, NASN, doesn't show the World Series live. This is complicated by rights issues and the fact that NASN is available in both Britain & Ireland. However, Channel 5 has the rights to show the World Series live in the UK, so us poor folks living in Ireland south of the border lose out.

Hey, NASN, you've got 12 months to figure this out. The World Series has to be live. It's almost impossible to avoid finding out the result of the games before you air them. I actually managed it by skillfully ignoring all sports news online and not listening to one minute of radio during the World Series.

Oh yeah, I also ignored all e-mails.
