inspired by the employment gods, the baseball programming gods smile upon me as well.

what a day for lounging around! white sox game on WGN at 2:00, red sox game on ESPN at 8:00. love that cable television.

we were just discussing, though, why new england seems to be the only area of the country that doesn't carry the WGN Superstation. jason was perplexed by the fact that, upon my arrival in chicago, i had never heard of WGN - apparently it has both a local incarnation and national presence. who knew?

i mean, even his grandmother in rural georgia gets WGN! wherefore not boston? tragic indeed.

though apparently the loophole is if you get DirecTV, you get the Superstation, regardless of where you are. so, whenever we find ourselves living back in new england, it looks like we're gonna have to consider the dish...

We got WGN on non-cable TV in TX but also found it noticibly absent in PA. V went and had to buy the mlbtv.com package to watch his Cubs games online...
