So I am currently sitting in my apartment looking at a boxed up television that is packed and ready to be shipped to the Sullivan residence. The MLB.tv package puts a local blackout in effect for any Yankee, Mets and possibly Phillies games so this afternoon’s Yankee game in Kansas City is not looking too promising. So far I am 7 for 7 in the games played this season with the Yankees going 4-3 in that stretch. Royals starting the season well with a 3 game sweet of the Tigers… hopefully they can pull off the same stuff against the Yanks.
I have several scenarios lying on the table right now. I could transport the new TV that is coming into the apartment but that requires carrying an 80 pound set down a block from CPA and then up 5 flights of stairs. Another option is finding some broadcast somewhere to catch an inning or so and the rest on the radio. The last option is to go out somewhere to catch the game and keep my streak alive.
I wonder, does listening to the entire game on the radio qualify as keeping the streak intact? What do you think?
Any other suggestions?
Edit:
So far it has been an even split on people suggesting listening to the game on the radio counts just as much as watching it on TV while others saying either its just not the same to my initial goal was to “watch” the games.
