Unfortunately Comcast doesn't carry Extra Innings.&nbsp; However, we found out that we could get Fox Sports Network Midwest (or Detroit in his case).&nbsp; Since the season started, though, the Tigs games have been blacked out and our rained out opener was too.&nbsp; The following night my game was on, but his wasn't, then last night's game was blacked out.&nbsp; Does anybody know what the blackout rules are for FSNMW in out of market regions?&nbsp; We're trying to decide whether or not to keep the channels on our cable package.</p>
