Laynce Nix

A-Gon hasn't done anything yet, and McDonald is a career minor leaguer.
I'm putting my money on Phillips, Votto, EE, Bruce, Tavaras, and the top 4 in the pitching rotation.

MLB Gameday Audio is awesome.
A one year fee of 14.95.

Got the job done today. I was worried, but he looked good.

Only used it today, but no blackouts so far. I don't think they black out the radio feed, but I could be wrong. I caught the Reds/Pirates game, Boston/Anaheim game, Atlanta/Washington game, and the Cubs/Brewers game all today with no problem. I cut the sound off the tv for the Boston game and the Atlanta game and listened to the radio.

I need to get myself a small radio to listen when I an not near a tv. We have a local station that has the Yankees games on.

Starscream · 04-11-2009, 10:14 PM

No radio stations in my area have MLB games. I do get all the NASCAR races on the radio though. I'd rather pay the 14.95 a yr for the radio broadcast verses the $70+ and have to deal w/ constant blackouts. Audio and the Gameday pitch by pitch coverage go great together.

MedicCook · 04-11-2009, 10:38 PM

I figured a way to get around the blackouts if I really wanted it bad enough. I would have my brother in Indiana pay for it using his address and then use an internet IP redirect to get around the local IP block. Just isn't worth all the trouble though.

I wish justin.tv or channelsurf.net would cover MLB games. Haven't seen one yet though.

I am always checking them out with no luck. MLB has a pretty good strangle hold on their product.

They want that money. But I believe that the NFL has an even tighter hold on their product.

I don't know, the NFL games can be picked up on channelsurfing.net each week.

But the networks only are allowed an allotted amount of time per game. there were multiple games that I was not able to see the end of due to NFL pulling the plug on them. You would think that if CBS or FOX carries a game, then they would be able to carry it for its entirety.

MedicCook · 04-11-2009, 11:13 PM

That is why I like baseball. The game goes until someone wins, except for the All-Star game.

8-0

Yikes!

Leaving Liriano in was huge mistake. I wasn't impressed with him last fall and now I know why.

There's always tomorrow.

Smoke Naked · 04-12-2009, 08:06 AM

Good start boys, may you hold it for as long as you can.

San Francisco at San Diego 4:05 PM Licdecum vs Young - it should be a good match up

VirtualSmitty · 04-12-2009, 02:19 PM

Fun game so far in KC. Back and forth in the bad weather.

On a side note, did anybody else see that douchbag play Beckett made in the BoSox/Angels game? WTF was Beckett thinking throwing at Abreu's head when he stepped out of the box?

And why wasn't that schmuck ejected from the game
