Baseball

Anyone going to watch the Rex Sox game v Tampa Bay (from Fenway park) at 11am?

I'll probably channel surf and then watch all of the end if its close.

cool stuff from a college kid Oceanic62010-04-23 09:19:04

Boston taking on Orioles on ESPN at the moment (delayed). anyone watching?

Me, 3-0 so far

poor old orioles!

edit: I knew as soon as I typed that it would change. 2 run homer top of the 7th.

Bye Ken Griffey Jnr.

Who saw the ruined perfect game?? Wow that was hard to watch

Feel sorry for the umpire - good on him for insisting on seeing the video straight after the game and then going into the locker room to apologise (apparently in tears). Was a horrendous call though.

yea that poor guy and poor umpire, still credit to them both for putting it behind them

It's Home run Derby day!

I went to 2 Pittsburg Pirates games at the old Three Rivers Stadium. The episode of the Simpsons where Homer stays sober and heads to the baseball, a wonders how anyone could find the game interesting when sober, sums it up perfectly - even getting drunk at the game.

One the games I went to  - it was with a group of 50 or so Irish university exchange students, we were so bored, that by the 5 or 6 innings we all left to go to the pub.

Is anyone following the series between the Yankees and Texas Rangers? It continues today at 1pm on Sky Sport 2!

pretty happythe yanks got beat. go the giants as well

Giants into the World Series as well after beating the Phillies today to take out the NLCS 4-2.

I saw it wasn't on espn so watched it online. Doh.

That was an awesome series though.

not sure why it's not on ESPN, however here are the times

Massive 5th innings from the Giants. 6 Runs to take them to an 8-2 lead, fought back from 2-0 down after 2 innings.

Rangers really not themselves today. Look for them to bounce back big time tomorrow.

game 3 today. can Texas notch up a win? losing 9 runs to nil isn't a good sign. hopefully for the series they can get in a good performance, especially at home.

It's tomorrow. Today is travel day.

yes, i just got ahead of myself.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand i have work tomorrow

Thank god for mysky

San Francisco Giants are World Series champions

Happy they beat those Rangers (mainly because of their connections with the Bush's and Hicks')

Rangers were disappointing.

Glad giants won it though.

Their offense in particular was woeful.

There's an exciting looking triple header on Tuesday starting at 945 on sky,with nz vs Guam aus vs Guam then the big game nz vs aus.

They're U16 sides,Curtis granderson (ny Yankee) has been working with the nz side and apparently there is some talent that'll be interesting to check out. Also saw on the news there may be a growth in the Aussie league with the inclusion of a nz side and tv rights etc.

So we may see a lot more of these guys in the future.

Will be good viewing!

You can follow his nz visit on twitter too @cgrand14

we're doing very well against Guam at the moment was 12-3 to us! cool

Game against Aus not going quite so well. Looks like the mercy rule is about to be invoked. Terrible fielding errors in the first innings pretty much put us out of the game.

Yeah,both errors in the first inning were double plays which would have seen the inning end with no runs scored. Instead they got 6. Game changing for sure.

this is pretty cool!  Good on him

A spring training invite too!

There are live spring training games live at 6am on espn everyday next week! Awesome!

11 days until the regular season starts!

Very cool. Starts on Tuesday (as it's Monday in the US).   Tuesday is Red Sox play the Phillies, Wednesday Orioles v Yankees, Thursday Cardinals v Mets, Friday it's the Chicago derby and on Saturday Phillies v Atlanta Braves.
No Blue Jays

Right you are.

Wonder how many regular season games will be shown on espn?

I doubt it'll be daily,as these spring training games are in a few hours earlier than regular season ones. Last year it tended to be if anything else clashed with it,baseball was last on the priority list on espn.

During the postseason however they showed one of the series on a sky sport channel if it clashed with something on espn,which was cool.

I got a copy of Major League on Bluray just last week. Zone 0 and is full screen. Some decent extras on it too. love that film!

Opening day tomorrow!

Considering as usual to get MLB tv. But it works out at about $150,and would probably eat up bandwidth (so would end up costing more)
