It was never even scheduled to air up here in Rochester. Normally, the 
local Time Warner system picks up broadcast Yankees and Mets games on 
either its cable-only WB channel or on its leased-time channel. The WB 
channel was carrying the Mets-Pirates game from WPIX this afternoon, and 
the Yankees-Sox game wasn't scheduled there or on the leased-time channel.

Tonight's half of the Yankees-Sox doubleheader is a national ESPN game.

I think today's day game was rescheduled from the rainout Friday night; 
perhaps that disrupted the usual broadcasts?
