I Might Get In The Newspaper

Because this is Mets baseball related, I put it here instead of the self-promotion page. I just got a call from a writer at the local paper (Danbury News-Times). He knows I'm a Mets fan, and wanted to hear the frustration of a Mets fan whose cable outlet doesn't carry the games. I hope my comments make the paper. I'll let you know/ provide a link if they do. PS- he promised to clean up my language, but said he understood. Later

Talking points for metirish: It's become a big subject at cranepoolforum.net.

Wha?

What did I do now?...

The article appeared in yesterday's paper, but the writer didn't mention my name. Still no resolution, and the fans are pissed. Later

Actually I meant to submit that as a talking point for MFS62, but I worked faster than I thought.

Yeah but were you thinking about me Edgy or what?

Edgy DC Apr 06 2006 03:36 PM

Apparently I was. Can't imagine why. Nothing negative, I assure you. Just responded MFS thinking he was youse. Similar number of posts? I don't know.

OK, I'll talk. I contacted Charter Communications as recently as this Tuesday. The customer service rep said their parent company is "still in negotiations" with SNY. I thought I saw light atthe end of the tunnel when I received a letter saying that the golf channle was being moved to the premium sports tier ( I hpoed to make room for SNY). But on Tuesday, the CS rep said it was staying where it was. But when I got home last night, I noticed that they had moved FX (Which had been on a station contiguous with the other sports stations, such as MSG and FoxSports) to a higher number, replacing the History Channel (I'm pissed about that, too) and the spot where FX had been is now dark. So, maybe that's where SNYwill be. In the meantime, I'm Metsless. Later
