You noticed that even with Houston in the AL we aren't in the cellar anymore? It's probably only temporary and I still want them to beat the Cardinals tonight of course but it is kind of nice not to be last in absolutely every stat for a little while.

actually, i was just reacting to seeing the final score after being out running around for the whole game today.... go cubs! but that's good news, too!!

and whoever is playing the cardinals should always beat them... that's a given.

watching Cin/Phi on Fox. these announcers are boring.

You're not kidding.I barely watched it and turned it off after Choo's last at bat.I mean,I've already gotten my 4 hours of sleep for the day.It was so mind deadening I was afraid I might nod off and it might turn into a 6 hour day,so I bailed.Votto was awesome though.

I'm afraid if I got 6 hours of sleep in one day I might go for a walk or workout or something.

I blame Obama for not having Vin Scully announce every game,every day.

It looks like it's just about all state and national parks and forests or it would have been gone long ago I suspect. Could be someone really important lives there though.

Maybe Bud used some of his $22 million dollars a year to buy a retirement home there.

If there's someone important there,I dunno about that.

This BS is too stressful for me right now.

The MLB.TV support site is FILLED with complaints over this issue.All they do is reply with a canned cut and paste bunch of crap to try that doesn't do jack,then you never hear from them again.

A lot of times when people complain with no rudeness or profanity,their posts are deleted by the MLB moderators.

I'm thinking class action lawsuit and a complaint to the FCC(like attempting to get the Government employees to do their jobs would work {#Lol}

)

Dude. Can you get Aereo? Perhaps they're carrying MLB.TV. Then you're set!

Why would you want to watch those games anyway?

And just one error today. Has anyone else noticed that we are no longer leading the league in that department?

Well,I finally had to give up on MLB.TV and the constant streaming breakdowns.I talked to a MLB tech last night who colussively referred me to some bogus speed test site.Than when I ran the test,he said the problem was my download speed was too slow( Friggin' top of the line Comcast Xfinity!!)

So i went to another speed test site and the results where literally 20x's faster.

Yep,it's Verizon,Comcast and all 5 of my PC's problem,not MLB.

There support website is filled with unresolved complaints about this issue,yet they do nothing. Friggin Obama Selig.

I cancelled and am done with baseball after this year.

They can go join the NFL in historical places in my life.

You win Uncle Bud.

Jeremy Affeldt was overpaid half a million dollars. Even though legally it was his to keep (both parties signed the contract with the wrong number), he paid it back.

Rumor has it that Carlos Marmol is looking to get traded. I support him in his search for a team willing to hire him. Go Carlos!

He's like Ike Davis as a batter, but he doesn't have the double digit IQ problem like Ike does. {#Lol}
