Blacked out on EI, I'm listening via mlb audio. I'd much prefer to watch though.
-
About three years ago, they had this option. Now it's only a per season and per month. :x
-
I think they should all be charged with giving a minor alcohol.

I love sitting in seats like that, but I usually sit higher up if I have Addison with me. It's dangerous for adults when those balls come flying, but either moreso with children. Parents with small children need to sit higher up, behind the nettings, or in the outfield seats. It's no one's fault, but there's really no way to protect a child from a hard hit foul ball in those circumstances.

Only the gray boxes are blacked out. You're good to go. Then why isn't the game available on Extra Innings? Extra innings rule is that all Saturday games that start before 6p CT will be blacked out. They could start the game at 9 AM and EI wouldn't pick it up on a Saturday.

Found this little nugget tonight. Holy Crap! Link.

Believe it or not, Jon Heyman believes that Chacon will win his grievance. Link.

Mariners release Sexson

According to the NY Post, the Yankees are considering signing Sexson. Link. -
Roy Oswalt only lasted an inning tonight before having to leave a game with a hip injury. If it lands him on the DL, he could miss his scheduled start against the Cubs on July 18. Link.
-
My prayers will be with him and his family tonight.
-
Link. David Wright was selected to take Soriano's place on the roster.
-
Gallagher's night is done. 7IP, 2 H, 2 ER, 3 BB, 7 K, 96 pitches.
-
Sean is having one hellova game tonight. I'm glad to see him have success.
-
The A's announcers are being very complimentary of Sean.
-
It's got to be fast. It clocked Gallagher in the first at 97. It also clocked Garland at 95.
-
Gallagher is going to have to pitch very poorly not to get the win tonight. The A's have spotted him a 7-2 lead in the third.
-
In the third, Murton gets a 2 RBI single with 2 out.
-
Back to a 4.5 game lead.
-
Does this strike you as the knid of player you want for a very good Jason Bay?? And Vance, you and I both know, we've seen mediocre players make minor league All-Star games. And this kid that Heyman is reporting that is a "target" has a career .698 OPS. Not exactly a stud in the making, if you ask me. And I bet Heyman is wrong about him being the target. He might be someone who would be thrown into the deal, and maybe that's where Heyman got the name, but I'd bet that if there's a Bay deal to Arizona, Bonafacio will not be the centerpiece.
-
Maybe you can hold out for Rasmus, Dave Duncan, and a year's supply of their pixie dust.
-
Gallagher gives up 2 in the third.
-
Gallagher's stuff looks filthy tonight.
-
Stormy Weathers survives.
-
Bonafacio made the AA all-star team last year. Trusting Heyman for good analysis is the problem. He's probably just guessing there.
-
Murton grounds out in his second AB to end the second. It was a close play, but he was out.
