I desperately want to drop cable, but I'm a huge sports fan which means no viable alternative to ESPN really hurts. Anyone have any suggestions?

If you love sports in general you might be out of luck. I love baseball in particular hand have no problem paying the 100 bucks for MLB.tv to watch any (and every) game that I choose, often in high-def, on whatever device I want.

I'm not certain about the other sports, but for baseball there is no real reason to be tied to cable.

Unless your favorite team is local and you are subject to blackout.

True, but you could probably pick them up OTA in that case.

I'm in the same situation. I'd drop cable tomorrow if it weren't for the NFL and ESPN. I'd pay a good amount for online access (in HD!) to both.
