1:15 pm ET Today
How many Yankees fans, of those who will not be sitting in front of their TV at 1:15 pm ET today, wish that they could be sitting in front of their TV at 1:15 pm ET today - watching the YES Network?
It's been 145 days since the last chance to watch live Yankees baseball. That's just a shade under 21 weeks, but, it seems like forever at this moment.
If you can catch the game today, live, in real time, enjoy it. I know that I would - even if it's just an exhibition. Hey, a fake fix is better than no fix (at all) to a Yankees-junkie, right?

Without a doubt, I wish I were going to be someplace where the game was on...
...I may have to go to the pub downstairs and have a burger and beg the bartender to flip it to YES instead of CNBC...

This is the only way in which I miss my old job.
There, I could work from home a lot, and have the TV on in the background - or, I could ask the girls in the cafeteria to put on the game in the tables area. Here, I have to be in the office and there is no TV in the cafeteria.

Totally unrelated, but I just read this...can it really be true that Chacon hit 97 mph on a radar gun?

Chacon used to throw hard. When he was the closer in Colorado, he had a bizarre inconsistency with his fastball: mid-90s one night, high-80s the next. For whatever reason, that velocity disappeared and he became strictly a high-80s guy as a starter (as we saw when he was a Yankee). Maybe tweaking his mechanics (giving him a more consistent, effective motion) got him back to what he was able to originally do.

Even if I were home I wouldn't be able to watch the game seeing as how I currently reside in Ohio.

No YES on the West Coast.
Does the fact that I'd sacrifice my first born to watch the first of many meaningless exhibition games make me a bad person?
Thought so.

Such a coincidence today...No Yankees on XM, No Yankees on MLB Gameday Audio, No Yankees on WCBS AM (at least from their stream). Not even a play by play page available from MLB or its partners. (YES is very expensive to get outside of its main market, and doesn't provide all of its programming out of market for any price, so I don't know if it was available out of market today). So, now you're at your wits end, you're left with-surprise--MLB TV. Which I guess you could pay for if you had DSL.
