| 1 | Anonymous | This will shut out many loyal fans, like myself, that live in an apartment building which does not allow satellite dishes. I essentially will be shut out of the game. This is a very sad day for baseball. |

| 8 | Anonymous | So this is how MLB decides to treat their most loyal fans, by shutting them out or forcing them to an inferior product (MLBTV)? Absurd! Some people can't have DirecTV even if they wanted to. Don't make this deal! |
| 9 | Alex | This is an absolute disgrace. MLB thinks that because we are hardcore fans, we will all fall into line like sheep and either get Direct TV or the MLB.com package. Let's show them that they are wrong, and cut back on our baseball viewership, merchandise spending, game tickets, etc. Then maybe they'll get the message that they can't screw over their customers without repercussions. |
| 10 | Jeff Waters | I had MLB EI in Houston w/Time Warner and had it last year when I moved to Mississippi with Dish Network - cannot change to DTV b/c I have a service aggreement w/Dish. This is absoultely ridiculous that MLB would so completely shaft its most loyal and die-hard fans. I WILL NOT purchase MLBTV if this goes through. I will purchase a slingbox and my brother will install in Maine so that I can access NESN anywhere. MLB will not get one dime form me if this BS move is finalized. |

| 14 | Matt Eckstein | Used DirecTV to get MLB EI when I first moved from Boston to DC in 1999. In 2005 I moved to a condo that faces North so with no DirecTV access, but that was okay since I could use OnDemand/Comcast to get my Red Sox/basball fix. And now MLB is screwing me if they go ahead with this action. I'm a great fan - please don't sign an exclusive deal that penalizes me! |
| 15 | Anonymous | As a lifelong Boston Red Sox fan living in New Jersey I rely on MLB Extra Innings to watch Red Sox games. Being a condo owner prevents me from receiving DirecTV and thusly should an exclusivity deal be reached with DirecTV I will be unable to watch my favorite team. |
| 16 | Anonymous | 3 year subscriber & would continue to subscribe for as long as I live outside of the Red Sox broadcast territory |
| 17 | Jeff Bianco | Wrong era to do this...give fans a reason to pass the love down thru the generations. |
| 18 | Daniel Whitemore | This is a bad deal for people like me who cannot get a dish!! |
| 19 | Anonymous | Switching EI to Direct TV is a screwing of your most loyal fans. |

| 25 | Jeanne Douglas | I'm quite sure that I'm not the only one who lives in an apartment with no way to put up a dish. People in apartments (& condos) can't put up a dish unless they have a balcony within line-of-site of a satellite. This idiotic proposed deal will make it impossible for millions of baseball fans to continue watching MLB Extra Innings. |
| 26 | Michael McGrath | MLB - do not do this to your MOST LOYAL fans!!!!!! |

| 30 | Anonymous | I love to watch the out of town games. It would boring without the extra games. I could hardly see the Red Sox. |

| 38 | Brian McDougall | I am in the military and can't buy a satellite dish because I have to live in the dorms. So for me it isn't about preference, it is that I can't get a dish. Obviously it isn't something that is fair, and the MLB would be leaving a lot of their fans out in the cold on this horrendous deal. |
| 39 | Adam Kantor | I live in NYC and I'm not allowed to install a dish in my apartment. I have no interest in watching Yankee or Mets games, so I have used EI to watch baseball. I refuse to sit at my desk and watch games on my computer monitor, so MLB.tv is not a solution for me. This deal is a horrible idea, and would basically mean that I would hardly watch any baseball for the next seven years. |
