Did everyone elses MLB audio go dead last inning? Mine does this all the time. I can switch to another game and get the feed of that game, but when I switch back to the Cardinal game, I get no feed!
Anyone have solutions?
The Cardinls have never gone to a World series in a year ending in 9. Every other year they have: 1930, 31, 42, 82, 43, 34, 44, 64, 85, 26, 46, 2006, 67, 87 , 28 & 68. But no 9s, Could this be the year?
