Unfortunately, any games available here in Lincoln are likely to be the
Royals.  Wrong team, even the wrong league for this life-long Cubs fan.

I don't think the prices charged for Internet access to baseball radio
games are reasonable, so I refuse to pay them.  (Instead, I've gotten
hooked on Internet broadcasts of debates in the British House of Commons,
far more entertaining than C-SPAN.)  

I am not nearly as big a baseball fan as I used to be either, I doubt I 
could name 5 players on the Cubs roster.  And I suspect if you gave a 
quiz listing the top 2 or 3 players on each team and asked me to match 
them up to their respective team's, I doubt I could get even half 
of them right.
