I find that hard to believe but maybe because the Red Sox game got cancelled that they are using this as a fill in?

Speaking of mistakes how about the VIZ in the truck animating out the wrong location during the starting lineups. It definitely said Ballpark at Arlington in Texas and not Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati.

Saw something similar on Saturday for the NBA special which according to the broadcast was at the Wachovia Complex instead of the Wachovia Center.

I don't know what is going on but here in east central Illinois ESPN is showing ESPN News instead of the Mets vs Reds ballgame. Does anyone know why they are doing this? The game is not available on any other channel on our Comcast system that I can find.

Sounds like your area could be a part of what the Reds claim as their home area and under MLB's stone age blackout rules, you would not be able to watch a national broadcast of a Reds game.

AwfulAnnouncing picked up on this and posted a screenshot.

Illinois isn't in the Reds region.... (unless that map is no longer up to date... but I doubt the team broadcast region would've been made bigger like that)

That's what I think is going on as well. This happens a lot for Cubs, White Sox, and Cardinals, but I have never seen it for the Reds. There are cable channels that show those games all season, but nothing for the Reds. I'm not really angry because I am not that big of a baseball fan. I was more curious than anything.

I can't get the HD in on DISH network, says lost satellite (110) and am watching it on SD channel (119). Anyone else having this problem with DISH? Light rain here.

I've seen that happen for me in northern NJ with Phillies games on ESPN. The problem is that no sides would look into this to get it resolved (maybe if it caused a problem for a Senator or something, it would get somewhere).
