I live in San Antonio, Texas, but my home team is St. Louis, so I don't see a lot of baseball on TV.

At MLB.com, I purchased a month of games and can watch ANY baseball game I want. Currently, as I type this, I am watching the Cards and Phils play live.

My stream is 350k and the resolution using a the small window is good enough to call balls and strikes and follow the ball when hit.

Not bad.

And no, I have no monetary interest in this.

Damn, you pay for baseball? :frusty: :frusty: :P

Pretty good idea though seeing that not that many want it on cable.

I wish they did that for a lesser charge with summer basketball or overseas basketball.

It looks like if you just get MSN Premium for $10 a month, MLB TV is included.

Today, I got to watch the Cards and Phillies at work. Just let it play in a small window and did my work at the same time. I still think it worth it.


Busy, I may just get MSN premium for that reason. In addition, if I get a "real" E-mail account, I can join General Mayhem. They won't let me join with free Yahoo and Hotmail accounts because of "security reasons".

Now that's an excellent perk.

One problem that I have with baseball besides the game being boring is that the games are on when I'm working.

Not good for ratings or just plain being able to watch it. <_<

Yeah, MLB.com is excellent, you get to watch any game and it is especially good if you live on the East Coast and want to watch West Coast games like me. I like to watch the Giants in particular.

I get MSN Premium free with Verizon DSL so it is not costing me anything to try it, which is cool.

What&#39;s so good about baseball?? It&#39;s full of guys that earn too much money for scratching their balls all day.
