The time has come to start cutting into the budget

I love baseball, I really do. So when it came down to the decision between MLB Extra Innings or NFL Sunday Direct, I thought it was a no-brainer. I was wrong and my better half won that battle.

I tried to justify it, it only costs less than $20/mo. over the course of a full year. But in the end, it makes more sense to trim that "extra" out of the budget, saving us just about $200/yr. 

So as the season winds down to its end, I will be saying goodbye to MLB Extra Innings. It'll be sad, but I will survive. 

This is just the beginning though, and I know much harder choices in trimming the budget are around the corner, on whether we need a land line, should we start feeding the cat scraps instead of food, that type of thing.

But for now, I will mourn my inevitable loss of live baseball from every park.

GO CUBS!!
