what's May 11th that they don't care about baseball that day? NFL draft or something?

Is there a rule against Fox televising Blue Jays games? There is not a single Jays game listed...even every crappy team has at least one game, but no Toronto Blue Jays games...

I didn't check Fox, but when I was looking at ESPN stuff I discovered they'd never been to PNC Park in Pittsburgh. They are extremely unfair in what games they choose, and I imagine Fox is the same way.

I never realized that Fox never carried a Blue Jay game...I used to see Montreal Expos games on tv down here on occasion, but I don't remember what channel might have shown it...so if the Blue Jays and another team are in a late season playoff battle, FOX can't carry the game bacause 1 of the 2 teams is not in their viewing area? Does the same apply towards ESPN and MLB Network?

I don't know that they NEVER carry Blue Jays games and they're certainly allowed to. It's just that when one of the two home areas doesn't count in your ratings (and therefore the advertising dollars they generate) the incentive to put a game from Canada into the rotation is removed.
