I've never really used the condensed games, but what I have used was the archived games so I could see some situation or play that I had heard about. But I can't even find those!!

They used to have a "video" link next to each game on the scoreboard on the front page. Gone. So I go to "wrap" where there's a header that says "archive". Sweet!!

Uh....no. It's gameday and nothing else.

Even last year they started diluting the value of condensed games. When I first started watching them, you would get the end of literally every AB of the game, even the walks, K's, HBPs, etc., no matter how unrelated to the scoring. Then I noticed last year that they started editing out certain ABs. Sometimes you'd see only one AB for a whole half-inning. Bastards.

Speaking of condensed games, work took me to Denver last week where I discovered they actually broadcast condensed games on TV that evening. I got back to my hotel room and got to watch all the action from Cards Rockies game 2. Do they do that anywhere else? Seems like a great idea - why don't we do that in St. Louis?

it irks the crap out of me that mlb controls the distribution of mlb games. as noted recently, i live in northern florida and cardinal games are blacked out here on extra innings, despite the mlb web site listing only marlins and rays as blackouts. this certainly does he cardinals no good and cost mlb money, because without card games, i won't subscribe. in addition, you are correct about the lack of response, in this case from mlb as well as their agent, in-demand. as far as i am concerned, i agree with my close personal friend and well-known greek philosopher thesaurus, bs = bud selig (and in some circles bull s... as well)!!!
