Dish doesn't carry them yet, right?
They won today behind a good start by Greinke. There was a scary moment after Greinke hit a double, where he seemed to be repeatedly crouching on the base, and then kept crouching during the following inning. He also gave up 2 solo HRs. The last thing this team needs is to lose him to injury.
Nice to see Kemp and Hanley both blow up for 2 HR each.
the LA Times ran a story covering this the other day...Quote:

currently, only about 30,000 people in Los Angeles are viewing Dodger games...by contrast, the Angeles, which are on FoxWest, are drawing 100,000 viewers per game
for those of us in LA without Time Warner, the best we can do is subscribe to MLB.TV via the internet and get the games on delayed basis--90 minutes after completion of the game...with MLB.TV any major league game that is out of market games you can get live, and all games are archived
Indeed. On a side note Dbacks won #2 today apparently they can only win with Miley on the mound.. At this rate they'll be 16-146.Quote:

Just don't download any media players, and be prepared to search for the best feed.
Tonight the game was on ESPN, so that wasn't necessary.
Dodgers got the Tigers on Tuesday and Wednesday. They will have Scherzer and Sanchez to deal with.
I hate this shit where one interleague game takes place pretty much every day.Quote:

I agree and wish they stuck with the way it was in the past with a one to two week spurt a few times during the season containing like all the interleague games but it's not like that anymore.Quote:

Random question Druff, but how many ball parks have you visited?
They can't because there are now odd numbers of teams in each league and keeping interleague to a brief portion of the season means at least one team in each league is out of action every day. Couldn't fit the season in.Quote:

I can see AL fans wanting that, but as a NL fan fuck that rule change and F the DH in general.Quote:

So much more strategy to a game when the P's have to bat.
I agree, but the "experiment" started over 40 years ago and seems to be here to stay.Quote:

In fact, per my local radio guy, the NL was considering it, because of losing all these stars to these 10 year deals.
(I.E. Pujols, Fielder) because NL teams couldn't match those years, w/out the DH as an alternative for the later part.
You are a fan of an AL team, I'm assuming?
I have a team in each league.Quote:
