I have heard that with more prime time games on Saturday for Fox, (Even though for you being a Yankee fan, most fox games are probably the Yankees anyway) there will be more Blackouts on MLB.TV. That kind of sucks.
Yeah, it does. Fortunately, not all Yankee Saturday games are on Fox. I've actually had more Met blackouts than Yankee. (And also fortunately, the Mets have a MUCH better radio team - Howie Rose is awesome) It's pretty much a crapshoot as to which weekend games will end up on Fox or ESPN. There doesn't seem to be a pattern to it at all.
Generally, though, at times when I can't wait for the games to be available as archives, I'm satisfied with the radio angle. Listening to games on the radio is really cool. And the iPad app, or web browser version, that you use for radio listening, is an acceptable substitute - true, you don't actually get to see the players move, but it gives you detailed descriptions of all plays, up-to-the-minute stats, and an image of the ballpark (taken from MLB The Show). So it's
almost like watching the game live...
Another added bonus - even though the MLB.TV subscription went up slightly in price this year, they now offer the iOS apps for free if you are a subscriber.
Side note: In the playoffs, it actually works better if you don't watch games on Fox. Because if you do, you have to listen to Joe Buck and Tim McCarver.
