MLB Doesn't Care About Canada

Apparently, Major League Baseball thinks highly of the Toronto Blue Jays--why else would all their games be pay-per-view?

Though there are a few slots yet to be filled on the broadcast schedule, the Jays are one of three teams (along with Baltimore and Kansas City) to not have a single game featured on national television this season. Unless the Jays are playing your hometown team, you'll need the Extra Innings package to see any of Roy Halladay, Vernon Wells, and Co.

Conversely, Texas gets seven nationally-televised games. And FOX is presumably leaving Toronto off its schedule to give baseball fans compelling match-ups like this:

Saturday, July 21
3:30 p.m.
Colorado Rockies at Washington Nationals

Slowly but surely, the Jays are getting 'Spoed.
