MATT CAIN pitches the first perfect game tonight in Giants franchise history! What a thrill to watch it on television -- in California. Unfortunately, Giants fans in the 50th State didn't see the game. The Giants and most other West Coast teams are blacked out in Hawaii for reasons described in the posts below.
The Hawaii Blackout is no longer a season-long irritation to us thanks to our move to the mainland. But the B-O still affects Hawaii friends whose favorite teams are blacked out when they play Bay Area teams. (SF Chronicle sports columnist Scott Ostler once made the B-O his "Knucklehead of the Week" -- see 9/27/10 post.) This blog now promotes a "Run on Third Out" rule change. My proposal would energize baseball like never before, and isn't that what everybody wants? GO GIANTS!!!
