"Dweeb of the Week"---MLB doing the Cha-Cha with DirecTV--NY Daily News

"Dweeb of the Week

Major League Baseball

For continuing to negotiate a deal that will pull its "Extra Innings" package off cable and make it exclusive property of DirecTV.

• While MLB's intent is to extract more dough from a satellite provider, any move off cable will shaft loyal fans who subscribed to "Extra Innings."

Also, it is likely "Extra Innings" on cable reached a broader fan base than it will on DirecTV.

• This is just another example of MLB saying it is working in the best interest of fans before turning around and selling them out."
