I've subscribed to MLB.TV in the past and am going to again once I can
afford it.

It's good because you can see lots of games not available on local TV, and
can even watch the condensed game for your local team after it's over--or
watch the full game on archive.

It's bad because, sometimes, when you try to watch a game, they authorize $1
off your credit card to check your zipcode for blackout restrictions. They
don't charge your card but the authorizations are annoying.

Overall, if you can afford the $15 or $20 a month, I recommend it.

I've enjoyed it the last two years. But, if you're in Canada, they black out
all Jays games (I'm in the US) while they're live.

Quality is ok. I liked their "quick game summaries" last 2 years, but they
seem to have changed them this year. Haven't had much of chance to use it
this year year, and they do seem to be having some issues with the network
streaming, as far as I can tell.

But, I'll give it a few more days to see if it works itself out..

Here in Halifax, MLB, NFL and Center Ice are all rolled into a 26.00 per
month fee.....its not bad, especially right now where I can watch baseball
and switch to hockey as they are playing both.

The best bang for my buck is my little
"xm" I got in on ground floor when it was
less than a c note for the whole pack.

It's a sports nuts dream if you don't mind
just listening to games and the slight time
delay.And it goes anywhere I do,the music
selection etc is endless and good quality
sound.I guess I am a throw back but I still
enjoy JH's play by play and still miss God
rest his soul Tom Cheek's voice."Touch em all Joe" still gets me weepy
when I hear it.

Sorry, my mistake. I was thinking you wanted this INSTEAD of satellite/cable
coverage of the Jays. If you're looking for coverage of other games, it's
pretty decent..

Default Re: Question??me to;2 or 3


Does anybody else here think the early
sweep of the RS was an aberration?

The hitting absolutely sucks,watching MS
try and hit jam shots is nice to look at,
but when the only offence in the last few
games has been MS and GZ base hits
with ris would be much nicer imho.

And does anybody think there is another
sulking player on the team aka AR.

hE has missed two games because of
flu like symptoms or has he,or maybe
he called jp a pimp or worse hope so.

Then we have VW who sat on the
bench last night,sipping his gatoraid
while the DR's and jp's x plodding
prize sporting his ws ring,give the
jays a drubbing.


I see Doc got another loss after pitching the entire game,I wonder
if
doc has ever pitched b to b complete
game losses before??

I can see Doc asking for his xmas bonus early after the season if
they
tank again.

WHO THE F*** IS "hE"?????????????????????

Now that I'm calmer, I think the whole team has tanked. It's going to be a
very long season unless they get rid of both Gibbons and Ricciardi really
quickly.
