BOOB TUBE LOSER: I love to watch the Dodgers on TV — or I used to. These days I can’t, at home anyway. I’m in the wrong cable monopoly.
Santa Barbara long ago awarded its cable monopoly to Cox, and when it comes to the Boys in Blue, Cox whiffed, fanned … struck out. The Cox corporate suits, which for reasons not clear to me other than greed, have turned their noses up at the Dodgers for a second year.
But just over the invisible county line on the Rincon, Venturans have no problem tuning in to the first-place former Trolley Dodgers of Brooklyn. Ventura, see, is served by Time Warner Cable, which made a big Big Bucks deal with the Dodgers to screen the games. Cox did not but keeps claiming (yawn) to be working on one. I am not optimistic.
