Get dishnetwork and go to the alternate stations. I got fox sports Milwaukee. Brewers announcers, but at least I get to see Soto piss pound the ball. I understand what you are saying though. WCIU is the station you are talking about. Local chicago station that carries the game. ESPN blacks out about 50% of these games, so you never know if you will get to see them or not. I remember a week ago Monday was the same way, only ESPN carried the game. Seriously though if you are as big of a fan as you sound, just upgrade to a satellite dish and you will never have to worry again.
