Games You Won't Be Able to See.

MLB Network released it's spring training game schedule. They've got the Sox on March 7 versus Baltimore, March 11 versus the Mets, March 13 versus the Pirates, March 14 versus the Twins, March 23 versus the Twins, March 28 versus the Twins, March 29 versus Tampa, and April 3 at Washington. NESN will be covering the games on March 14, March 28, and March 29 but if you wanted to watch the rest of them, you're out of luck. The games will be blacked out in the local viewing area.

The stupidity of blacking out the games boggles. If NESN doesn't want to show the games, well alright, maybe they've got Bruins games or some other programming gem. But who besides the people in a team's network broadcast area is going to want to watch a spring training game?
