Mariners in HD
I sent the following to Comcast, trying to figure out if I should get their High Definition service:
Will 2006 Seattle Mariners baseball games be available in high definition on Comcast? If so, how many will be on in HD and on what channel?
And their surprisingly quick response:
I understand you are looking for information regarding Seattle Mariner games in HD. Comcast and Fox Sports NW were unable to reach an agreement to carry Seattle Mariners games in high definition for the 2005 season. We negotiated in good faith with Fox Sports NW and made every possible effort to reach an agreement that would both cover their costs and not result in cost increases for our customers. Comcast could not accept Fox Sports NW's terms because the network is asking Comcast to contribute three to four times the network's cost to produce these games in a high definition format. Unfortunately, no information has been released regarding the 2006 baseball season.
Why do they hate America?
I'm sure Fox Sports NW blames Comcast just as much as Comcast blames Fox Sports NW. They're all bastards as far as I'm concerned. Hopefully they can placate my indignation by providing me with high-definition Mariners games in 2006 (and more than just a small fraction of them, please). If they do that, I'll go back to staring blankly at my TV like a good little consumer.

LOL!
I don't have HD but I'm a big Mariner Fan. That little Interesting Words program is cool, I'll be playing around with that. Check out my M's site and you'll see I like the RSS thing.
