    You tried marrying the two several months ago as well, before watching them sign 2 Cubans for a combined 70 million. This TV deal is a separate entity. I told you this then..long before they opened their wallets to spend on Olivera and Fernandez. And now I'm telling you again..long before July, when they'll open their wallets to spend big on Yadier Alvarez. So yes..July is coming.

    For anyone not realizing it my references to July are about Time Warners reporting 2nd quarter earnings which last year took a hit because of the TV contract. At that time analyst and investors had a look beyond reaction assuming a set of circumstances that did and will not play out.

    Time Warner Cable Inc.'s months-long standoff with other major pay-TV distributors over the Los Angeles Dodgers sports channel is likely to weigh on its financial results for the year, the cable operator said on Thursday.

    Time will tell about much of this as uncertainty abounds and this is only year 2 of 25.

    Article in today's LA Times on fans doing that. They also have article on just how many are and aren't watching LA Sports Net compared to the Angels.

    Not really sure where it fits. But as part of a deal to purchase TWC, Charter cable will now pick up SportsNet LA and the Dodgers will be on the air on Charter in with in a couple weeks.
