For those in Canada… yes the Blue Jays broadcasters will continue to do play by play as normal. You won’t be forced to watch the international feed throughout.

What’s with restricting ticket sales?! That’s a new low for the Yankees to block MA residents from buying tickets through TicketMaster.

It's not the first time. I believe it happened with football in the past too, both teams restricted sales to the opposing teams fans.

Red Sox/Yankees game 1 was a great game to watch. More so for the Red Sox fans. What a finish to an amazing back and forth game.

I tuned in yesterday afternoon for my team THE CHICAGO CUBS!! Within one minute of listening to the ESPN announcers, I was reminded how much I missed home team announcers. I stayed the course, but today I'll have to listen to Pat and Run even if the sync is off.

Every game W is a game 7 to me. I LOVE my team!

I turned down the volume so I wouldn't have to listen to the bias of the announcers. I also chuckled when they mispronounced Wilyer (Red Sox outfielder). I too miss the home team play by play.

It’s happened in the NHL too. The first time I recall was the Tampa Bay Lightning during the 2015 Stanley Cup Finals. They restricted sales to those with Florida billing addresses. They tried to ban fans wearing Chicago Blackhawks gear too, but the NHL quickly overturned that.

A few other NHL teams restricted ticket sales since then too. I suppose secondary sites don’t care.

I wonder how DS and his girlfriend are handling it today. He's a big Red Sox fan (even bought a brick at Fenway) and his girlfriend is a Yankees fan.

So are DH's family (they live just north of Chicago). When we were up there this summer, there were Cubs fan stuff all over their house, and everything stopped whenever a Cubs game was on so we all could watch.

Probably best if he just lays low until after tonight's game

We are from northern suburbs of Chicago originally as well. Relocated to the west coast, but am a Cubs (and Bears and Blackhawks and Bulls) fan for life!
