Thank You. Thank You. Thank You.

MLB, Cable Reach Extra Innings Deal (from MLB.com):

"Major League Baseball announced today that iN DEMAND has entered into a seven-year agreement in principle to carry the MLB EXTRA INNINGS subscription package of out-of-market games and will distribute the MLB Channel, which is scheduled to launch in January 2009."

"The MLB EXTRA INNINGS subscription package of out-of-market games is currently available to DIRECTV subscribers. iN DEMAND owners Comcast, Cox Communications and Time Warner Cable have agreed to carry the package, effective immediately."

Even though it was an absolute HOOT to watch Wednesday's Red Sox game on MLB.tv, hunched over the crappy picture on my computer, my head aching, eyes red and swollen, extremities bloated...OK gross. Just kidding. It wasn't quite that horrible, but I'm psyched that I'll be able to subscribe to Extra Innings via cable. If only I can get the subscription activated in time for Dice-K's first Major League start today...

Update 11:20 pm PT: Wow! EI is already activated on Comcast.

By the way: The Sox game itself was great.

Thanks to Chris for calling me with the good news!
