2011 MLB Season Discussion: Joey Votto MVP Edition

[Cephius]

Since when have you had to pay for ESPN3? Fuck I was looking forward to being able to watch the game tonight at work.

Soccertvlive.net has a pretty good HD stream most of the time, better than myp2p.eu since it's not delayed by 3-5 minutes

Any Phillies people know a way to listen/watch the game from my phone or intetnet, which inexplicably does not have an AM radio? 97.5 won't be broadcasting it, will they?

Ceph listed the options I know of other than having an MLB radio subscription. They black out radio broadcasts online otherwise.

My god ESPN's MLB page with the four 'Phantastic Four" page is just.. so fucking annoying. Lol. They are so going to be the Miami Heat of MLB this year. =(

[Conrad]

My coworker told me to pick up MLB At Bat, but I'll just be watching the games for the most part anyway. Guess I'll go pick up a clock radio or something at lunch.

You're right, they are going to underachieve.

Also, this link had me rolling the entire time I read it, though there might be some inside phillie blog jokes that other people may not get. Numbers 8 and 9 were hilarious before I even read the answers.

They're going to need those aces because their offense is really underwhelming on paper. With Utley and Brown down with injuries, Werth gone, and older guys in decline like Rollins and Ibanez I don't think their offense is going to score many runs. In fact if you compare them with the Mets the only position they're clearly better at is 1st base...

[Akiyama]

I'd say even in Rollins' decline, if he's healthy, they have the advantage there. Just don't really like Alex Gonzalez. Yeah.. he's not Yunel and his bitchface, but Alex Gonzalez seems rather 'boring' to me, lol. That and how can you be 6 for 54 versus Livan Hernandez?

But no.. I dunno about 'underachieving' as much as every win/loss is gonna probably be near top story for Sportscenter and anywhere else. If the Phillies started 3-3, it's OMG OVERRATED.

[Trichocyst]

Skirkle, I think WYSP might be carrying the game today.

Yeah, the Phillies hype is all hyperbole and extremes. It's annoying.

[fren.]

Any good/new streaming sites yet? I used to use fapitdinkus but he went AWOL. JTV is kinda unreliable.

Good to know that ol' Pete is into recycling - that coat looks like some of my mother's old pocketbooks.

[Trichocyst]

I'm surprised Brett Myers got booed as much as he did.

Nah
I found a site that had the AM stations broadcast and managed to hear Franzke for about two minutes before the feed switched to Rush Limbaugh for whatever reason. Oh, and Staples doesn't carry radios, for anyone interested.

[Akiyama]

So, I wonder how much dicksucking ESPN's gonna do during the game today. Should be an over/under on how many times they reference the rotation as 'best ever'

[Trichocyst]

I won't know, we get the local broadcast. :D Wheels and Tom McCarthy. I still miss Harry Kalas.

[Trichocyst]

I love Roy Halladay. Last opening day I went to was in 2006. Jon Lieber gave up like 13 runs including a grand slam to Scott Rolen.

[Headspace]

Did you guys know that Joey Votto is on pace to hit 162 home runs?

For games and stuff. So I was checking out the free trial of MLB.tv only to find out that the MLB's blackout rules are retarded and even in NYC, where we most certainly don't get local philly networks, I can't watch either the philly home feed or the Astros away feed. So instead of just having those local networks advertisements placed into the MLB streams you're screwed out of games. So dumb.

Edit: NVM game was on espn so that explains the blackout.

[Akiyama]

No hitter ruined by Brett Myers. Lol.

[Trichocyst]

Brett Myers had 3 base hits in 2006.
