Watching Baseball in the UK

I was emailing with a friend bout this issue and others might find this interesting...

Not a single sports bar in Manchester carries American baseball. They look at us like we're crazy. Sky is the big satellite network out here and we were told that some bars have the additional NASN (North American Sky Network). But even those who can show the game WON'T show the games because absolutely no one cares about baseball, and there's a football match on just about all hours of teh day. It's like walking into Sport in Seattle on a Sunday afternoon and asking to watch cricket.

And Sunday was a HUGE day in MLB. I was going nuts not being able to watch any of the games. So we had to set up a laptop and watch the games today over the Internet. 2 Canadians and an American sitting in the school cafateria type area switching between the Yanks/Sox, Indians/Sox, Phils/Nats and Astros/Cubs. Pretty funny experience.

But once the playoffs hit, all the games are going to start at 8:30pm ET, which is 1:30am ET out here. Not sure how we'll deal with that. Maybe we'll try to record them on a giant hard drive somehow.
