I'm disappointed that no games are being played in Phoenix this year - I sure enjoyed going in '06. U.S. v. Mexico, especially, was a lot of fun. I think it would be great if that new MLB network broadcasted the games - does anyone know whether they're planning to?

I should've Googled before I asked the question.
