I got an email from the folks at Time Warner and they wanted me to pass on a message to you about a service called Dodgers on Demand. If you’re a Dodgers fan, this is worth looking into. Unfortunately, I don’t have digital cable (yes, I’m behind the times), but here’s a copy of the press release that details what you get.
