"Take me down to the ball park....."
Baseball
How am I mean to get any sleep with that triple header? The joys of nightshift and all that going on too! No Doze tablets??
I too have been looking at MLB.TV. We have bought Apple TV so it is already connected and set up, just need to pay for it and watch hours and hours of baseball that will end up in me divorced.
Do you have a monthly internet usage limit?
That is the only thing that is stopping me from getting it,as either I'll be able to watch only 1 game a week (I think) or it'll cost more.
What to do what to do?

unlimited broadband.
My problem would be the time I would waste watching it (as opposed to the time I waste lying on the couch watching football, sh*t movies and re-runs of old TV shows)
Yeah when you pay that kind of money you're kind of investing time also.
They have condensed games and highlights available too mind you.
Wish I had unlimited broadband. But also have the same doubt that I'd have the time to watch enough (that isn't already on tv) to make it worth it anyway

Opening day tomorrow!
Triple header on sky.
Yankees v Tigers 6am
Padres V cardinals 9am
Giants V dodgers 1pm
quite like to watch this one. I love Doger stadium. Doesn't look like they're repeating the games later at night which is a bummer.
Get mysky! I could never watch any games until I got it.
That Definetly is match of the day.

It's that time again, home run derby! 12pm Tuesday ESPN live from Arizona!
I don't think they have the all star game on sky though? 
Was in the States recently and went to a AAA league game - great fun. My tickets were in the front row behind home plate (just off to the side so view not obscured by the Umpire/Pitcher). There were 3 HR's and a bench clearing brawl after a batter got hit (no punches thrown but all the pitchers having to run from the bull pen, arriving in time for everyone to go back to the benches/positions was funny).

yeah, it's a bit stink. I love the all star game.
Caught Angels vs Tigers on July 4th.
Great evening out.

did you do the tour of angel stadium HN?
No. Too busy. 18:05 game, got there 17:00ish.
National league won 5 -1. http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?topic_id=16609400&content_id=16864857
"The win was the second straight for the NL, which had not won in 13 previous tries before last season. The last time the NL won back-to-back All-Star Games was 1995-96 as part of a three-game winning streak. "
Heaps of AL players flagged the game. The NLs pitching was a mile better, figured they'd win.
anyone watching the world series? I don't really have a loyalty to either team, but rather St Louis wins cause it would suck if George Dubya Bush's state won.

Is a great world series so far, mix of great hitting and great pitching. A 7 game series would be nice
bit of a see-saw battle..

I would rather watch paint dry.
Go the Cardinals! Was in St Louis earlier this year, didn't get to see a Cardinals game unfortunately. I have a Cardinals shirt and Cardinals keyrin. At least Robb's Cubbies arn't in the World Series...
It will be epic when the cubs do finally win one though.
I also am meh on both sides,but find myself going for Texas,no particular reason.
Good ws so far!
Was hoping Tampa bay would make it through after their epic final day. Also went to see them earlier in the year and loved it,so would have been cool had they made it all the way. Maybe next year!Tegal2011-10-26 19:14:13

Epic meltdown by the Red Sox this year, went to a couple of games just before they bottled the season (wins against the A's and the NYY).
Fenway is a brilliant ball park.

To be honest, I don't know anything about baseball. I just know that when I was in a Cardinals shop, half the t-shirts were Cardinals shirts, and the rest were anti-Cubs shirts.
Holy sh*te, Cardinals down by two leading into the bottom of the 9th, one out left, and Freese hits it out into the outfield, bringing home two runners to tie the scores. Absolutely incredible.
Wow. Freese the hero again
Great match. Looking forward to game seven tomorrow!
This has to be the most epic season ever. Final day dramas,great playoff games...and this world series is just...wow...!!!
So pissed I'm working a 9 hour shift tomorrow starting at 1. Anyone who mentions a result is dead haha. Turning phone off and not going on the Internet at any point!!
Yes, final on Saturday. terrific!
don't read this Tegal..
top of the 9th, St Louis 6, Texas 2. one more out is needed.

Haha did think it'd be wise to avoid all media - especially a thread titled "baseball"!
Rangers get to replay game 6 over and over in their heads for the next 5 months.
Tickets purchased for the Mets vs Diamondbacks in a couple of weeks - 12 rows from the dug-out, between 3rd and home. Very excited.

I assume you can stream baseball just as easily as other sport? I know the ML guys are pretty tough on youtube highlights etc
Can recommend MLBTV. Though it isn't exactly free obviously.
At worst, I would recommend highlights and game recaps/blogs of your favourite teams. I didn't have MLB TV, and even if I did, live games are a bit too tedious, especially if you're sitting at a computer. So any way you can get the condesed version of the whole game, or just throw yourself in to the team's blogosphere, it's a must-do, I did it fully for my Mariners last year, and even though we are totally depressing it was a very fun experience.
I too want a 40,000,000 per year contract for 7 years. It'd be a struggle but I could live with it and the adulation.
