    fwiw...
    • The Dodgers have requested unconditional released waivers on utilityman Chone Figgins, the club announced. The veteran was designated for assignment last Wednesday. He has reached base at an impressive .373 clip on the year, but has slugged only .267 over his 76 plate appearances.

    I only change the channel when a game is on Fox or ESPN and not SNLA. Actually when we played the Angels there were some issues with SNLA and I had to switch to FSW. Other than that I don't even know what other channels I get now.

    You are one lucky SOB man.. I haven't missed many games all season but man does SNLA sound like an awesome fucking channel with cool programming for Dodger fans. Hopefully they strike a deal soon so that the rest of the fans can enjoy the network! Although, I will still probably not get to enjoy the channel since I'll be moving to Australia soon.

    They should let people who live in other countries subscribe online to the channel.. that would be amazing and awesome for guys like NZ and 4everblue who I believe lives in Puerto Rico?? Wonder what happen to that dude? Never see him post anymore.

    Will you still have a home here? It still wouldn't matter until your provider gets a deal done but you could probably Slingbox it if so. Or if you have a friend with the channel that can set you up in a spare room with Slingbox. You might have to get creative with it but Slingbox is pretty cool if you care to look into it. Also, is MLB.tv not an option in Australia? I don't know how that works internationally but you certainly shouldn't be blacked out if you can get it.

    No I won't have a place here in LA as I'm moving back to Australia to be with my son and fiance. When I am in Australia though I do watch the games on MLB.tv without any restrictions and it's awesome and it's how I watch games now while in LA using the unblock program. Watching the games is not an issue but I wish there was a way to watch SNLA online with a subscription to the network sort of like with Netflix. I would like to see the pre game and post game shows that you cannot watch with the MLB.tv package. Also would like to watch that Backstage show and all the others they have. I will have to give Slingbox a look and see if that could help somehow. Thanks mate!

    I'm happy with MLBTV with no blackouts ever. I'm pretty sure living in the middle of fucking nowhere I have seen more games this year than Los Angelino's.

    • Yet another pitcher has fallen prey to the Tommy John scourge, as Bill Shaikin of the L.A. Times tweets that Dodgers righty Stephen Fife will undergo the procedure. Fife, who started 10 games for the Dodgers last year and one this season, has a 3.66 ERA in 91 Major League innings over the past three seasons. It seems likely that the 27-year-old would miss most, if not all of the 2015 campaign.

    Dodgers acquire Justin Germano. If your trashcan suddenly goes missing, Colletti probably took it

    ^He's collecting So Cal natives with the last 2 acquisitions. Germano is from Pasadena and Correia is from San Diego. Already had Haren who is from Monterey Park. Represent! LOL

    Assigned to AAA so it looks like it. Fife did just go down for 1+ years.

    So glad we didn't get another good pitcher. :sigh:

    Seriously. I was concerned already about who would be our 4th pitcher if necessary in a playoff series. Now who knows about a 3rd. Ugh.

    All of the sudden our rotation looks like
    Kershaw
    Greinke
    Hernandez
    Haren
    Correia

    It would be hilarious if they led us to the playoffs.
