World Series Game 2 Open Thread

PrintThere's no thread up, and the broadcast started here in Austin, so I thought I'd throw something up. I've mostly been super excited about this world series, and I do love this matchup of young players that have been ignored by the national media all year.
That being said, there is no player that I'd rather see get completely shelled in a big game than Brett Meyers. Of course, it would have the added bonus of tying up the series, so that we increase our chances of gettng seven full games of quality baseball in this seven game series.

It doesn't even make sense
they’re from Austin.
They say that it's never too late, but you don't get any younger...
how come they couldn't get Walken?

he looks like Zangief.
Although I’m not exactly sure who Zangief is and I had to google him for clarification, I think I have to agree that he’s a dead ringer.
Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me......with nothin'.
Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
yeah I saw that
If I recall right, is Zangief a character from Street Fighter. I have thought the entire series he looks like Chuck Liddell

no its a Columbia College in Columbia, mo
"All baseball fans can be divided into two groups: those who come to batting practice and the others. Only those in the first category have much chance of amounting to anything."--Thomas Boswell
i would seriously doubt...
it will be on any basic cable package anywhere…i’m assuming it will be available on satellite and most digital cable providers, but on a sports tier like the nfl, nba, and nhl networks…
does anyone here subscribe to MLB.tv?
I have been thinking about getting it next season. How does it perform and what connection would you recommend for a good performance?
"All baseball fans can be divided into two groups: those who come to batting practice and the others. Only those in the first category have much chance of amounting to anything."--Thomas Boswell
that is true
I’ve had it for 3 or 4 years and I like it a lot. There’s always some bugs through the first couple of weeks, but it’s nothing to get bent out of shape about.
One reason I like it is because my computer monitor is right next to my television in my bedroom. I can put the Cardinal game on my computer and to satisfy my short attention span I can put another game or some other show on my tv.
But, overall I’ve been pleased with mlb.tv.
Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me......with nothin'.

thanks for the info!

yeah...
when i lived in the dorms at tennessee, it was great because of the super fast connection, the next year i lived in an apartment with its own internet service that was part of the rent, let’s just say it wasn’t fast enough and caused me great pain, i’ve lived in a different place the last 2 years with comcast, and it’s fast enough the majority of the time…
you won't get cardinals games in columbia, mo
you’ll be blacked out for sure.

I'm not worried about Cards games
I have FSN MW. But I want to watch all the games haha. My baseball greed…That mosaic thing sounds sweet!
"All baseball fans can be divided into two groups: those who come to batting practice and the others. Only those in the first category have much chance of amounting to anything."--Thomas Boswell
Mosaic sucks
I’ve never gotten it to work and from what I’ve heard, I’m not missing anything.

i loved mosaic
i had four fantasy baseball teams this year, so i always had a few games going at once on mosaic.
cards and royals will be blacked out for you, but you should be able to get everything else. when i was living in tennessee earlier this year i had it and watched games constantly, it was great.

they have 3 different picture qualities requiring 3 diferent connection speeds...
the lowest speed/quality is $15 and it"s $20 to access all 3 but yeah, like he said, you won’t get the cards in columbia…
Really?
When I went to Mizzou in 04 we got Cardinals game and not the Royals

he's talking about on mlb.tv
you won’t get it because, as you said, that’s Cards country. They’re on locally so you can’t get them on mlb.tv.

if a team's games are aired in your area,
you can’t watch them on mlb.tv. you can only watch “out of market” games.
one annoying thing about mlb.tv is they black out all saturday afternoon games because of fox’s coverage.

They get blacked out on Extra Innings too
That’s just one of the things about it. And honestly, most teams have wised up to it and try to start their games after 7pm Eastern time on Saturday so the National blackout rule doesn’t affect the game.
But you wanna hear some bitching about the Saturday blackout? Head over to BCB. I tried to point out that if they started their games after 6pm here in Chicago they wouldn’t have the issue, and I got the response I knew I’d get. “We CAN’T have Saturday night games at Wrigley”.
Well……who’s fault is that?

I've had a some issues with the 1.2M feed
But that’s most likely my computer.
However, I find the 800k feed to be really darn good and especially when watching a game broadcast in HD, it looks great.

yeah the small game clips
they had on stlcardinals.com at the end of the year looked fantastic
"All baseball fans can be divided into two groups: those who come to batting practice and the others. Only those in the first category have much chance of amounting to anything."--Thomas Boswell
Well, the smaller you leave the picture the better quality it is
But even in full screen, the 1.2M feed, especially when broadcast in HD, looks pretty darn good and their video quality has gotten better every year so I expect it to be even better next year although I wouldn’t complain if it wasn’t.
Especially since they introduced at the end of the season the ability to choose the home or away telecast. There are some broadcast teams I don’t mind and some I actually like (Arizona and Dodgers) but the majority are a pain in the ass if you aren’t a fan of that team.

but didn't you have to use that micrsoft silverlight for the 1.2 feed?
it would never run smoothly for me, regardless of the speed, i uninstalled it and continued to use windows media at 800k…

It is such a shame
that he has to have that Mitochondrial condition. This guy is so freakin’ talented…the epiphany of a 5 tool player. Even if he can’t stay healthy enough to play, I really hope he can stay in baseball and become a player/coach type.
Baseball's weird
It’s criminal that Kirby Puckett, who was a joy to watch on the field, and who clearly just LOVED the game, had to get that eye condition while the Gary Sheffields of the world soldiered on.
They say that it's never too late, but you don't get any younger...
I still can't get over the fact
that the Rays are this good…even with Baldelli not being healthy and a guy like Hamilton not being on the team. I mean, they’re great…but they could be even better if things worked out the way they were supposed to.
m v p!
Well, that’s Ruiz’s error, but still.

First, I can't believe the best they can find is two people from the military to sing
But, nevertheless, this guy was/is better than that girl who sung last night. But not much.
At this point, I want David Archuleta back. I might not like his rendition, but he can at least sing.

I've always hated "God Bless America"
It is easily my least favorite patriotic song. It has this awful, meandering melody that never really goes anywhere. It takes a spectacular vocalist to make it sound even palatable, IMO
They say that it's never too late, but you don't get any younger...
I think we're just over exposed to it
Especially with the amount of little kid choirs that sing it…therefore we expect it to be bad. If it was sung in moderation, it might be different. But sometimes I think it gets sung more than the National Anthem.
Where is
