Mlb Network

The NFL and NBA have full-time television networks up and running, and starting at 3 p.m. PST today Major League Baseball will follow. In the L.A. market, the MLB Network will be available on Channel 276 (470 in HD) on Time Warner Cable; on Channel 429 on Charter Communications; on Channel 119 on Cox Cable; on 86 on Verizon (586 in HD); and on Channel 213 on DirectTV. The Dish Network is not carrying the MLB Network, which will be available in 50 million homes at the start.

Watching Alex Rodriguez's interview Monday with ESPN's Peter Gammons, it was easy to think of the new Fox show, "Lie to Me" and its tagline, "The truth is written all over our faces." Oh, to see the New York Yankees star have his every eye twitch, lip lick and finger tap analyzed and scrutinized by Dr. Cal Lightman, played by Tim Roth, the very convincing truth detector.
