Last night, game 6 of the ALCS between the Red Sox and the Rays didn’t hit the air until twenty minutes after the first pitch due to technical diffifculties in Atlanta at Turner Network Whatnot, home to TBS, TNT, CNN, and probably some others.  At about 8 o’clock I looked up from what I was doing and noticed that the pregame was not on and instead it was an episode of Dick Clark Presents:  Kids and Celebrities are Wacky Morons.  Where the hell was the game?!  I thought maybe a rain delay, but the Rays play in a dome (even though it’s named Tropicana Field).  And there’s no crawl on TBS telling me what the heck was happening.  Ugh.  I checked the other stations on the tele to make sure it wasn’t on some other network even though my digital guide assured me it was on TBS.  Fox...nothing.  ESPN...nothing.  I went online to see if there was some breaking news I was unaware of.  FoxSports...nothing.  TBS.com...nothing.  I even went to CNN to see if the terrorists or Yankee fans had done something horrible to affect my ability to watch this relatively meaningless sporting event...nothing.  Wait.  Where can I go to get up to the second updates, opinions, and lewd humor?  Deadspin!  I clicked on their ALCS post to see what the commenters were saying.  Ah-ha.  Before TBS even ran a crawl explaining their problem, Deadspin commenters were saying there was a power outage and nobody was seeing the game anywhere in the country.  Bingo!  Instant gratification!  A few minutes later the game came on and the Sox won.  Game 7 tonight.  Alledgedly on TBS.
