mlb tv...

this idea has always intrigued me so when i saw that mlb.com was offering the rest of the regular season for 8 bucks i decided to pull the trigger. you can stream (400k or 700k) any out of market mlb game (no mn twins) being played in the majors. with the pennant races heating up and many teams still jockeying for post-season, and several key series being played this week, and me still being unemployed, all the stars seem to have sort of lined up. granted, this is for hard-core baseball junkies only as the stream quality isn't the best, and is even worse through a wireless network, it still allows you to watch most of the action in semi realtime. i watched the redsox beat tampa bay last night downstairs on my mac (which has a direct cable connection to my router) and then switched over to the yankee\bluejays game and watched the bluejays pull out an 14 inning affair in new york. then, from the comfort of my couch using my wireless connected laptop, i decided to watch a couple of innings of the colorado\san diego game before i finally decided that that was enough baseball, even for me.
