Enough with the Rain Already

Toronto at Barrie scheduled for tonight has been washed out. Hope the weather decides to co-operate for the weekend .

For those of you scoring in the stands , that's now 5 games played in the season and 5 rainouts so the IBL is batting .500 on the season.

Rogers is covering the Red Sox home opener tomorrow night on a tape delay basis. So tune into your local Rogers station at 9 pm to catch the game. Unless you are too busy watching that other sport into another game seven. Might want to check the program guide before hand in case its only regional coverage.

Also the Hamilton home game is available on the radio http://www.indifm.ca live from Bernie Arbour.

I think Guelph is the only IBL team without either a radio or tv deal. I know the issue with Rogers involves the fence in centerfield being too high to safely film above from. Back when baseball in Guelph ran things, Maclean Hunter circa 1992-1993 (I think I just dated myself) used to have 2 cameras on top of the visitors dugout and a hand held camera right behind home plate.

I heard rumors earlier this season about the local radio getting on board too but it fell through.

  1. It looks like the weather in Brantford and Hamilton is going to allow some ball games tonight.

    The London/Brantford game will be broadcast in London on Rogers TV 13 at 9:00PM tonight.

    It's a shame Guelph has no TV or radio coverage. I would imagine with Rooney being part of the ownership group now this will change soon.

    Do you know of any other teams that are on the radio aside from Hamiltons home games?

  2. As far as I know Hamilton has the only radio broadcast. I wouldn't be surprised if the Royals jump on board in the near future as well.
