So much for the opening game of the World Series.

Well, at least it means I’m spared Tim McCarver.

And when the last time the Sox won the Series, I had to deal with the local radio station dropping the game automatically at midnight. With the station being automated there was no one to call and complain to . ($#%#@ Clear Channel) So this could be a sign that this will be another championship for the Sox.

21:15 (ET) update: It got back in time for the bottom of the first, at least. I had been looking forward to the Boston Pops performing the National Anthem, though.

22:58 update:

Ah, that might be the problem, they’ve switched from the satellite to using a blimp to transmit the signal.
