Read this link taken from Georgialooks like the catcher intentionally ducked to cause a pitch to hit this umpire in the mask.
this morning I was going through ESPN.com and one of their top stories is that there is an report that Jim Edmonds was getting traded to the Padres for a minor league prospect (a third basemen)

how to get around nfl blackout rules
**if you live on the outer edges of the St. Louis TV market (set by nielsen) - you got a considerable advantage than the people that live in the middle of it.** If you can get 2 or 3 different FOX or CBS stations on your cable tv lineup, you have an even bigger advantage.
I have found its
difficult to get around games blacked out (or not able to be shown) on
Fox network unless I get closer to markets controlled by other teams. This means you are likely going to be taking roadtrips closer to Chicago, Kansas City, or Indianapolis to get to a good bar/tavern of your choice in to watch the game. I have found this expensive and not worth my time. The other option is by using a expensive dish (not from DirectTV or Dish, but one that you can program to pick up other nielsen markets), which I found not worth the cost either. NFL Package deal that some cable tv providers have may be the cheapest way to go but you're still subject to blackouts.
When
it comes to games on CBS, on the other hand, I'm lucky I get a choice
between 2 different stations on my cable outlet. Most of the time, I
have found, KMOV gets hit by those blackouts yet KFVS is immune (last night game against the Chargers is a good example, and as a result the local bars were packed with peeps making the trip from the St. Louis area just to watch the game on the big screens). The
ironic part is that the KFVS signal can easily get into the Metro East
and possibly as far north as the city limits. However, unless you live
about 30-40 miles south and southeast of St. Louis, you won't get it on
the cable outlets, and you will need a tower to pick up the signal. You're going to need a very good quality "zone 3" tower to pull this off, with that tower pointing towards Cape G. when all said and done. You'll need to hook your TV set directly to the tower, not to your cable TV. This can put you out $300-$400. If you live northern part of St. Louis, you're out of luck.
If you don't want to spend the money, all you got to do is travel to a town about 40-50 miles to the south or southeast of St. Louis and head to a bar/tavern of your choice. I know a lot of good places to eat (including the local Eagles Nest).
This trick also works with Sunday night games on NBC, oddly enough, except you must get closer to Indianapolis or Kansas City.
they might as well rename it from Super Bowl XLI to Super Bowl I-65 right now. . .
