    Baseball fans: Free MLB EXtra Innings July 12 thru 18

    I just saw this and thought it might be of interest to baseball fans reading this blog. MLB Extra Innings will be having a free preview from July 12 through July 18. On Comcast for sure, I do not know about the other cable or satellite providers. MLB Extra Innings is a pay-per view package showing out of market baseball games, similar to ESPN Full Court for college basketball, ESPN Game Plan for college football and NBA League Pass for the NBA. Oh the NFL and NHL and MLS have something similar as well.
