I don't know about cable but if it's the same as satellite TV, you can't get just one individual game on PPV like you can with movies. I've got Directv and they have different packages you can buy to get a whole season of baseball, football, basketball, etc. I always used to subscribe to the baseball package every year but it got quite expensive and I really didn't have time to watch it like I used to. When you subscribe, you have access to a whole set of additional channels with the games on them. You can watch almost every game for the whole season except for a few that always seem to be blacked out. If your cable service has a website, you can check there and it should tell you what is available in your area.
