Router Trouble

TBS is blaming router failure in Atlanta for the snafu at the beginning of game 6 that kept the first 20 minutes of the game off the air. Here's why they didn't delay the game:

Major League Baseball spokesman Rich Levin said MLB was unaware there was a problem until the broadcast failed to come on the air. No consideration was given to delaying the start of the game because the starting pitchers already had warmed up, Levin said.

The problem started about 7:45 PM EDT however, because they put on a bloopers show. If TBS had said at that time there were problems, they could have delayed the warmups. TBS screwed up here big time.

Snafu not withstanding, I think it's a travesty that America's past time is not being showed on a free network station. Food for thought next time the league sighs publicly about the lack of minorities watching baseball. Not everybody can afford cable Bud!
