Agreed. I subscribed to the MLB season online package several years ago, but because of blackouts of west coast games, I've vowed to not fall for that scheme again (and the team that I follow is on the east coast, but plays a number of games each year against California teams that I couldn't view. Also, I hated when they'd black out games due to a nationally televised game of other teams. Why pay for what you can't see. I follow the box scores instead.
