Does anyone else here use MLB.tv? It's actually pretty good.

Hey GirlySports, are you watching the games?

Bit of a rally but they couldn't get the tying run. Then O's blew it open in the 8th.

Yes I was watching the Yankees game.

I had CC last year in the CP fantasy league and I'm pretty sure his early games were baaaaad statistically speaking. I'm going to assume this year may go something like last year and he will finish strong.

really i found it to be quite frustrating. I mean today i'm watching the Mets and Reds game and the first 7 innings were great and I was watching it on the SNY feed (Mets) and all of a sudden it starts freezing every 5 seconds and then just stops working. So i switch to the Reds Feed and that works for a bit but then it stops working and starts freezing. So basically i just had to listen to the radio for the last 2 innings to find out what happened. I even checked out the Yankee game but it still was doing the same thing.

Regardless, when you pay for the premium service and the HD feed, you should get the HD feed and not have it freeze every 5 seconds. My laptop and internet connection is top notch so its not that so i don't know this happened last year as well sparatically and i just wish I can get what I paid for. Lets just say I'm hoping it improves and improves fast.

Big Tex got booed in Baltimore like he was playing for the Mets at Shea.

Just a heads up that the Rays and BoSux are on sportsnet west right now if you want to catch some mlb this afternoon.

Papi34 · 04-07-2009, 06:16 PM

Red sox with a big win 5-3 over rays!

Beckett looks back to his normal form!!!

Go SOX Go

GirlySports · 04-08-2009, 04:07 PM

Braves just gave up 4 bases-loaded walks.

Phillies have scored 8 in the 7th inning so far to lead 11-10.

Phillies fans still booing.

Yeah I'm actually having some serious issues right now as well. I can't even get the Yankees game to load for more than about 3 seconds before it cuts out, and that's on the lowest possible quality.

So Calgary resident Jeff Zimmerman just signed a minor league contract with the M's---he hasn't pitched since 2001..Good luck to him

This Dodgers Padres game that's on Sportsnet right now reminds me of what treat it is to get the occasional Dodger's game with Vin Scully. Such a great announcer.

Probably my favorite baseball broadcaster. I love how he works by himself.

GirlySports · 04-08-2009, 10:41 PM

Even with Vin Scully, it's hard to enjoy watching those Padres Uniforms!

WHAT!? Those are the greatest special uniforms out there. I wish they had camo pants too.

Scully is great. Like listening to a song call a baseball game

The Angels's outfield has the potential to be really bad. I can see them winning the weak west with it, but not a playoff series.

Flickered Flame · 04-08-2009, 11:12 PM

A's were down 4-0 in the 8th and now lead 6-4 going to the bottom of 9th in Anaheim. The only team I hate losing to more than the Angels is the M's.

Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart killed in car crash this morning.

Nick Adenhart, a rookie pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels, died in a hit-and-run car crash early Thursday morning, just hours after pitching in a game in Anaheim.

habernac · 04-09-2009, 10:28 AM

brutal, watched a bit of his work last night. 6 scoreless innings.

phiten · 04-09-2009, 10:41 AM

This is one of the saddest stories I have ever heard...I remember following Nick's career from when he was a high school phenom in Maryland--He was projected 1st rounder but opted to have Tommy John and his stock dropped. The Angels took a flyer with him as a 20th rd pick. The sky was the limit for him. And to watch him last night pitch fantastically makes this so much harder to take.

RIP
