(Not) Watching the World Series

The first game of the 2025 World Series was on last night. The Los Angeles Dodgers vs the Toronto Blue Jays. We had watched the playoffs and were looking forward to the series. But. It wasn't on any of our channels. Sling was supposed to have it on it's Fox Sports channel FS1 but it wasn't on. Soccer instead. It wasn't on the Fox local channel on our antenna. It wasn't on any of our other streaming services. Then I tried going on to our TV's internet browser and went to FoxSports.com where supposedly one could view the game if logged into a provider.

After numerous tries I got connected via our Sling account and the game came on our TV. Then it just kept crapping out. We turned off our other Internet devices including both our laptops but we still couldn't get a consistent signal. And the damn "mouse" arrow stayed in the center of the screen. At other times the screen shrunk to a tiny image during commercials. It was an awful experience and soon we turned off the game and watched something else. Well, Becky did. I went back to my laptop to once again look at alternatives to Sling TV.

Meanwhile the Blue Jays won the game 11-4. Addison Barger, a former Buffalo Bison who was just called up to Toronto in September, had a pinch hit grand slam home run. Amazing. I would have liked to have seen that.
