Go See What You Can't

Memorial Day evening May 30 and Tuesday evening May 31 against
Pittsburgh, Wednesday afternoon July 27 vs. the Phillies, and
Wednesday afternoon August 10 against the Giants.

Those are this year's Marlins home games not being broadcast by the
cable TV outlets FSFL, FS1, and SUN. I don't know whether ESPN will
put them on. Get your tickets.

Those networks also won't be telecasting four Marlins away games,
starting April 22 at San Francisco, and including a Mets game, and two
Phillies games almost two months apart. (I guess they feel we've seen
our fill of Philadelphia).
