Geoff Goldman, head of media relations for FSN Kansas City, said that the extra 40 games were offered to cable and satellite systems for an undisclosed amount

Plus Cox will not show any of the 88 Royals games in HD. Nor do they have ESPNNEWS in HD.

I want USA Hd while we are at it.

Lets bring out the brooms tomorrow afternoon. That almost seems unreal to have a chance to sweep the Tigers in the opening series

I'll take FX HD as well. Oh, and I'd love to get NFL HD with the HD tier, instead of having to pay the extra money for the Sports Tier. I'd gladly pay $5-10 extra per month if Cox would open up NFL Net HD, HBO HD and the other channels on the HD tier that are locked.

I love it. The Royals are on pace to go 162-0 and they've actually played more than 1 game. However, I am concerned with that 8th inning role we have yet to fill. Hopefully Leo Nunez is the answer. He's pitched well so far, lets hope he can keep it up.

You can also pick up the Royals on KFH FM at 98.7. Personally I get better reception there.

Banny played quite well today. Nunez figured it out late last year and I think it's continuing. He's a great set up man if they want to keep using him that way. Soria is nails. Love him.

Game is even blacked out on MLB Extra Innings. Cox: If you're not going to pay for us to watch on FSN, lift the blackout for those that have the means to watch it. Pathetic. I was hoping for 140 games. I hate Cox and I equally hate monopolies.

yea i agree, as much money you have to pay for cable, you would think they would be able to fork over the extra dollars for the 40 extra royals games

I sent them a nasty email threatening to move to Satellite, but it won't do any good. They have a monopoly on cable in the area and they can do whatever they want. :cry:

Well, they replied. Probably with a canned response for all Cox Customers that complain about this issue:

Dear Valued Cox Customer:


Thank you for your inquiry. Cox is committed to providing the best customer service possible.


Cox is committed to providing additional programming for our customers at reasonable rates. Due to this, unfortunately, the current agreement between Cox and Fox Sports Network is for only 100 games and does not include the additional 40 games. And at this time Cox does not have access to the 40 additional games via any other avenue.

We realize you have choices, but Cox is still your best value. When you consider most customers have at least two televisions, Cox includes local channels as part of our basic package and you can view programming in multiple rooms without additional service price charges. With satellite, you pay additional charges to receive the local channels and you pay more for each additional outlet. Furthermore, Cox is a local company that contributes more than $12 million each year to local youth, education and non-profit organizations through funding and in-kind services. The satellite companies are not local and do not contribute to our community.

At http://www.cox.com you can order online, check service availability, access your account, pay your bill and find answers to many commonly asked questions -- 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at your convenience.


Regards,

The E-Care Team

Cox Communications, Kansas

I guess they don't realize that I don't care about their contributions to the local community. I just want to watch the Royals.

On days they aren`t going to show Royals, turn on the Cardinals games.

You folks here may noy like Cardinals but as a paying subscriber watching Best Damn Sports show or darts is getting real old. :roll:

I hate to be a Debbie downer, but how many will the Royals lose in a row after this winning streak comes to an end?

It's kind of funny. I was browsng the Detriot forum at MLB.com during yesterday's game. Many of them think the Tigers suck.

Their team is good for a few years and suddenly they are spoiled. I hope we aren't like that if KC experiences a few years of success and still have a killer lineup.

Zero. 173-0!!
