7. It's terrible what they've done to the games that are broadcasted on TV

ESPN used to have baseball games on all day on Opening Day and every Sunday night at 7:00. WGN used to broadcast every Cubs game every single day and because it was a superstation, I could watch them all here in Michigan. TBS had all the Braves games. Now we're lucky to get a local station playing the home team's games. In the Detroit area, they change the station every year and don't even let you know what channel the Tigers are going to be on until Opening Day, so you have to go through the guide to find it that day and not a minute before.

It seems like most of the games are now on streaming channels or are in packages you have to buy. I listen to the Cubs on Sirius XM these days since they're hardly ever on TV anymore, at least not on any channel that I get.
