As advanced as satellite/cable is you'd think between three games you could select the game you want with on demand. Shouldn't be that hard to do technologically. And it defaults to a regional game.

Has nothing to do with technology limitations. Has everything to do with idiocy around revenue maximization and good old fashioned arrogance. It's why I made the Steve Jobs reference. For all his flaws, he was uniquely talented at recognizing customer-antagonizing idiocy and doing something about it bull-in-china-shop style. That's what the cable, satellite and broadcast idiots need. They haven't learned from what happened to traditional book publishers and music labels. Their day of reckoning is coming. Our grandkids won't have to deal with this stupidity. The existing model is unsustainable.

I believe Kurt Bevaqua won that, and Johnny Bench finished second.

that would have been a great effort if I could have seen it

Don't know about Bench, but Bevacqua definitely won it. That baseball card is rather memorable. :O)

Being a relatively new member here, I've always wondered why Operator and others often do quasi play-by-play on the threads. Today, I both understand and appreciate it.

1 down with a K

[RedlegJake]

5-3. 2 down. Nice comeback by Mat being down 2-0 in the count.

Not just any "1." Ethier. Latos is as good as anyone in the game when he keeps a lid on his emotions.

[RedlegJake]

Schumaker, the Dodger version of the utility guy that seems to always kill us. This time Ludwick grabs a flyball. 1-2-3.

[1940757690]

And that's 3. Gorgeous inning by Latos. I really, really, want us to take this game. We are so due to roll the Cards and get beyond an LDS. Winning series against baseball's best teams like this shows we can do it.

That's the key - I love his fire - he just needs to keep it focused and not blow up.

[RedlegJake]

Time to get the lead back...

[_Sir_Charles_]

Clearly a ball via gameday.

[757690]

Wow, one of the worst called strikes I've ever seen. I thought Eric Gregg retired.

[Red Raindog]

I'm in SF today, and didn't even think to see if the Reds were on......guess what? They are!

thanks for the discussion boys, I would have never checked

you are out of my will
