Tuesday

MLB and NHL have made it nearly impossible to be a fan of your local teams in the streaming era. Since Hulu (our streaming provider) dropped the Sinclair (formerly Fox) regional sports networks, we’ve essentially been shut out of watching local broadcasts of the Indians (are they officially the Guardians yet?) and Red Wings. It’s miserable. And while this article brings welcome news, it doesn’t sound like a solution will be available anytime soon. We might have to re-up with cable for now. Ugh.

This would be fun…for about ten minutes.

This seems like a great way to get environmental issues in front of American consumers. It’s not without risk, though, and could backfire. Plastic products are essentially invisible to the experience now. If the substitutes are somehow inferior (warm beer, anyone?), they may negatively impact the experience of going to a game, and fans will notice. Here’s hoping all goes well.
